Terastodon|WWK and it's not even a contest tbh. It's bigger, less Mana intensive, can target multiple permanents and is much more versatile in general. One of my favorite thing to do with this card lategame is to just target a couple of my mana rocks and maybe a land or two just to get the elephant...

The amount of you who are sleeping on Tragic Arrogance makes me feel like you have not played against it enough. It's borderline Mindslaver -like. Pridemage, that guy is seriously under played. I love the versatility of the card. I think what really sells me between the two is that green can tutor c...

I for one look forward to playing an eleven fetch base deck.

Man, this is a real thing for my potential Omnath deck that I've been putting off building for 3 years.

Jokulhaups vs Obliterate Since Jokulhaups is a must counter, I like Obliterate more. The extra 2 mana isn't too much. However, I have played both in the same deck before. I'm glad Atraxa walkers isn't red because these two are a brutal pairing in a super friends deck. Why again is Atraxa the defaul...

It's not that it should do more. For what it does, it's really powerful. And it is an awesome effect that needs to exist. It's just so conditional. When the conditions aren't right, it's a 4 mana blank card. Even when the conditions are right, it can give the illusion of being a blank because you o...

Since I used to have a Horde of Notions aggro deck, I'm more likely to play Tornado Elemental before Silklash Spider in EDH. Besides a better tribe, the come into play ability is big. That being said, I actually like Silklash Spider much more as a card. And have actually played with it a lot in type...

What if you had to brew exclusively with the actual brawl format in mind?

Which card would you miss the most? haha

I played Commander for years now, and never have I Entomb ed a card that I would have gotten with Demonic Tutor in the same situation. Your hyperbole requires a very cooperative "opponent". This means I'm not only trusting the Gifts player, I'm also trusting the targeted opponent to not d...

So Castle Garenbrig is okay (basically +1 g ) Not if you have Mana Reflection ! :P Anything that makes mana is better with Mana Reflection . :P Just replying to your Mirari's Wake vs Mana Reflection reply, haha. All these new lands are going to get played. I think the white one makes tokens. So my ...

Not if you have Mana Reflection!

No, I cannot. The "abusing" variant of Gifts Ungiven is double Entomb , which is only really useful in reanimator decks. And they are all about cheating stuff into play way earlier than one "should" play it. The Protean Hulk Combo needs creature-based reanimation, a (preferrably...

I don't play Swords to Plowshares in a lot of decks actually and I own a lot of copies. If a deck doesn't have enough draw then narrow use 1 for 1 removal can be hard to make a lot of room for. Sure, its super cheap to cast but it also doesn't have much for versatility in that it can only target cr...

1) & 2) ban Sol Ring and Mana Crypt 3) Unban Gifts Ungiven . Like Hermit Druid and Protean Hulk , it's only problematic when you try to deliberately break it. Since the Hulk was recently let off, Gifts should be given a chance as well. Can't you apply the same thinking for your proposed unbans ...

Deadeye Navigator, besides its power ceiling, it's also mono-colored.



Or


I know more people don't use Mana Reflection due mainly to cost, but what if cost was no object?

The Numbers on EDHREC show Sol Ring in 78% of decks that could play it. The next colorless card is Lightning Greaves at 30%. There are no numbers for Arcane Signet yet, so I'll have the numbers of the most popular classic Signet ( Izzet Signet at 45%) serve as an educated guess. Even together, they...

As for my contribution to this thread, I'd say simple graveyard hate (e.g. Tormad's Crypt ) is underused. People want "value" attached to every effect in their decks. Rather than to build their decks to accommodate and build in value to the cards instead. Given that this isn't a "hidd...

OG Krenko, and I don't think it's close for most people. How about 2 different build-around-me's slash payoffs. Vedalken Shackles vs Valakut, the Molten Pinnacle ? I think shackles is undeniably more powerful and much easier to pull off. Yet, Valakut is in 3x as many decks according to EDHREC. I'm a...

Probably the best life gain payoff card ever.

No, that goes to Aetherflux Reservoir.

I still like Well of Lost Dreams though.

I want a playable Balance effect as much as the next person. I mean, my Sram aura deck really just needs one land and one creature. But 1W mean it's not remotely close to being unbannable. Just be satisfied that they printed Tragic Arrogance and move on. I will always ride the "not ban anything...

Depends on how you build her, I know I'm 100% not running it :p but, for a voltron-esque build it should fit right in (it's kind of expensive though...) Fires of Invention seems like it has one restriction too many on it for it to be remotely playable. Only 2 spells on your own turn for max # of la...

Embercleave is looking pretty good with Gisela, Blade of Goldnight

I have in my Child of Alara Lands.dec: https://www.mtgsalvation.com/forums/the-game/commander-edh/multiplayer-commander-decklists/217247-child-of-alara-lands-dec It's definitely not a good stuff card that you just include. You better have a good plan. The card that I used it together with the most w...

Are you even talking about commander? [...]It's not Sol Ring that makes high cmc mega-threats powerful in commander, it's the ~4 player, 40 life format that does that. Use any deck construction rules you want in a 40 life multiplayer format and see if the oppressive cards are Sylvan Primordial s or...

Still waiting for a Volrath's Stronghold (or Academy Ruins for younger players) for Land cards along the lines of Hall of Heliod's Generosity.

I hope the wait isn't as long this time. And that the title of the card isn't as long.

You can play those things without Sol Ring. I guarantee you do play these things without Sol Ring, because every deck with Sol Ring can fail to draw it. If you have a deck with both a Sol Ring and a big dumb dragon, and you draw the big dumb dragon before you have the Sol Ring, do you look at it an...
