He tried to destroy Urza's academy on Tolaria , but was trapped in a time bubble , and built his own empire with new Phyrexians inside. Then, when he got back in the normal flow of time, well... (I have no idea who that is. It's not Barrin, I know that.) (By the way, love the power creep from Subver...

If you're using Alesha, Who Smiles at Death or Reveillark , or plan on using him as sac fuel or for entry/death triggers, he can be "fair". (Possibly also if you blink a lot.) If you're not in green, he's also "fair". If you're in Animar, he's still "fair". But some dec...

Love the looks I get every time I cast Ritual of the Machine , honestly. It's good, and a pet card, and so many people can't get over permanent theft in B . Geth, Lord of the Vault exists. It's just that black is tertiary in theft (and there are even a few old theft cards in green and white; I stil...

This card is fun with Stuffy Doll . Now you can just have Stuffy fight your opponents' creatures. Or bring out two more artifacts and now Galvanic Blast does 16 damage. Saskia the Unyielding quickly does a lot of damage: Your Thorn Elemental does 14 and then does 28. In terms of actual win condition...

I kinda like these buyback-adjacent creatures. Most of them are pretty awful as actual creatures, though. I will admit to having used Fleetfoot Panther to save a creature and both the Panther and Horned Kavu with Aluren to storm off. This cycle's also good to reuse entry triggers. This is obviously...

Besides Darien, Acorn Catapult is really fun with, let's see, dinos, things like Blood Seeker and Suture Priest, Tainted Aether, Repercussion...

I like it with Delve cards - exile the spells you really don't want back in hand. It gives so much value. If you have Time Warp as the only sorcery in your graveyard and no instants, you have infinite turns. Bear in mind, there are ways to achieve this without exiling cards, but it's still worth ke...

Nekusar, the Mindrazer is another one for this (and any other) wheel. Actually, you can put Neheb in Nekusar as well. (I have used Neheb, a wheel, and Nekusar to Comet Storm everyone. Or Exsanguinate .) It's not an auto-include by any means, but it's "good enough" in Nekusar. Or Grixis re...

3drinks' Hot Take: "So, at which point do we ever play this alongside or in addition to, Fecundity ? When is this better? Is it ever better? How many copies of this effect even exist, and how many do you play in the average fare Jund-sac deck?" Well, it's not symmetrical, so there's that....

Wishing it said power. That said, this is like Metamorphosis, but it can be used to cast anything. It has potential, but not as much as a permanent sac outlet. It does let you start casting Eldrazi and similar threats somewhat earlier, though.

So what happens when you play Godhead of Awe in a mono white deck and I want to cast Red Elemental Blast ? You counter it. Corner case that I don't find to be a particularly big deal. Or they change the Hybrid mana rules to add memory, which seems really annoying and clunky. I'd rather deal with a ...

Because green doesn't have as many all-around stronger options, I'd presume. A lot of the better card draw spells in green want some kind of synergy with your deck ( Greater Good , Beast Whisperer , Soul of the Harvest etc)) & Harmonize is perfectly fine in a deck lacking those. Blue cards like...

Some people thought it'd share Primeval Titan 's place on the banlist, but as time shows, it's "just" a decent card with a good body and a reasonable ETB effect that becomes better if you run busted lands, but isn't nearly as generic-use as the Titan. This is how busted cards get properly...

I'll agree with everyone on the mana base. Beyond that, I'd probably replace Putrefy with Beast Within . In fact, if a deck has green or white, replacing limited removal costing three mana with one of Beast Within or Generous Gift is a good idea. I'd also, generally I find with these precons, they'r...

I like this one. It's actually really good before a wipe, but it can also be used to put things like affinity and improvise and mana rocks in their place if you're playing Winter Orb -style Stax. Beyond that, you can use it for storm (or storm-like cards , i.e. ones where you get a win condition fro...

There's also Eidolon of the Great Revel, Kami of Fire's Roar, Orc Gorger, Sandstorm Eidolon, Skyfire Kirin, Soul of Magma, and Yuki-Onna

Yeah, you can actually look at "spirit or arcane" and find a whole bunch of things that can be used in spirit tribal.

I like Myr Enforcer in other formats, like the period when affinity was Standard-legal. It's not as useful here in EDH, because you only get 6 artifact lands in a 99-card deck instead of 24 in a 60-card deck. (Which is good: Free spells will walk away with the game.) One particular issue is, it's a ...

I'll throw my support behind Despark as it has quickly become one of my go-to options in EDH. Exiling any permanent type is a pretty big deal, and the things it can't hit are things you're probably not super worried about anyways, as it's hard to think of a <4CMC permanent that demands spot removal...

That word "random" always bothers me. I mean, I guess with Alhammarret's Archive , it becomes okay, but then you're probably playing blue, green, or black. Archive is such a trap card though. The epitome of win-more, it does nothing unless you're in position to draw more cards. So saying ...

The +2 is good in these colors. (Obviously other colors can do "draw a card a turn" better and get actual card advantage out of it.) The -2 hits most types of nonland permanents; critically it hits enchantments and tapped creatures. It gets better if you have some sort of Icy Manipulator -...

You can potentially do something with Goblin Tunneler , I guess. It has 1 power. Then you can have fun with Apex of Power or Searing Wind or whatever. Not going to do anything in a really competitive format, but casually, yeah, it's cute. But you're mostly going to be playing cheap removal spells an...

I just wanna know who/what simic was since all we got is a name and known he wasn't human. I'm just going to assume Simić or Šimić was both human and not human. A little from column A, a little from column B, and plenty from columns C-Z and then we move on to other alphabets, you see. If he doesn't...

Am I like the only one to not have seen GoT to not understand this idea? Red Wedding. The whole thing is a plot to kill Robb during the dinner. The best Commander, though, for the Freys, the house that did the Red Wedding, is Ghave, Guru of Spores because no weapons , no pets , and a son for a son ...

Absolutely required for any Game of Thrones flavor deck. Sadly, the best pick for the Freys isn't red.
