I remember opening this in my first pack of Alliances. At the time I thought it was OP. (Because, you know, early sets, creatures and cards related to creatures.) Today, I...still have use for it, if I expect an Animar player to be running Blightsteel Colossus . (Yeah, you can actually direct trampl...

I guess this is blacks foray into enchantment removal. Back it up with plenty of creature removal first and you can make it work. Literally the only problem with black enchantment removal is removing your own enchantments. (You shouldn't be able to get out of your demonic pacts so easily.) But subv...

Salty commander. I gotta visit the site sometimes. The first option is clearly superior, as most people have no more than seven cards in hand, but plenty of creature has 1 or greater power. This is the kind of cards I with WotC makes more of. Hellbent/low hand size support. Null Profusion exists. I...

Well, if you have nine mana available, you know what to do. If you have eleven, do it better.

Actually, it's more a, have you ever seen The Producers ? Basically, their two Marvel movies had similar storylines, so they chose Captain Marvel over Marvel Girl. Because X-Men had been at best hit or miss, hell, The Last Stand, Logan, and Apocalypse are all forgettable and the less said about Fox'...

I hate Mirage,* but I like this card. So, you can't go infinite, but you do get entry triggers, and you can get death triggers with work, plus, you know, combat.

*Teen Titans' attempt to ride on the 90s antihero fad. I won't say anymore. *shudders at memory*

Uno! But seriously, I like this idea, and it's been something I've been waiting for: Truly multiplayer cards. Didn't expect one with no 1v1 value whatsoever; even goad cards work as "can't attack next turn".

That Curse is going into a deck I want to use against a friends Niv-Mizzet deck, he likes to draw 20+ cards with it to finish of the game. Well, now it will finish off him first. :) It can also be thrown in Nekusar and such, when you don't yet have what you need to win the game, but you can knock o...

So, he basically hoses red removal and fight effects. Or he can be used with fight.

It is funny to see grimoire again, I remember that was always one of the fail mythics back in the day when opening packs. Pretty threatening card in commander though.

It's one of those like Lux Cannon that looks like a threat but is easy to remove.

Not surprising given the announcement of the Netflix show.

Or the degree to which they phoned in Dark Phoenix.

Just wow. And he can even still kill Vhati il-Dal.

the back end on this is a complete miss. 10/10 w/ annihilator 1? then I get it 10/10 golem, construct, statue even when did eldrazi come from a statue that someone carved? are eldrazi and the gargoyles from ghostbusters similar? blegh the more I look at the card its elegance and flavor are not swee...

Was expecting the third Gnat Miser/Locust Miser version.

Not an insect. I actually thought of this guy

This could actually be pretty useful in dredge. If you use a Life from the Loam loop, this guy can pay for the cycling.

I just see it as a decent attempt to make combat more relevant. A lot of Commander games run on combos, so making combat more relevant diversifies the meta.

And commanders with partner are cheap already.

I remember having one of those way back in the day. Dear god does it suck. If you're just going for huge burn finishers there's a million better options. At least it's technically mono-black. Fireball says hi! And there are so many Fireball variants, why would you ever run this? Also, why would you...

Wait, if you have both Pramikon and Mystic Barrier, do you just stop all attacks?

Wizards been doing alot of Future Sight type of cards latelly

They're making versions of old cards compatible with the new templating, I think.

It's not Scooze, but if there's anything that keeps Commander in anything resembling balance, it's hate cards that do something else so you don't feel like you wasted a card.

Low cost commanders I. White rejoice

Also commanders with +1/+1 counters used as a resource/sacrifice themselves.

How does this interact with partner?

Basandra, Battle Seraph was actually pretty strong, you mean. I guess it is a bit closer to her. It always drove me nuts that her ability was symmetrical in the combat trick colors. Glad to see that fixed that. I'd be more likely to build Marisi if it were Boros though, Naya is...meh. Ah well. We g...

This is the kind of card you cheat out on turn 2 because you really didn't want to play another commander game. It will go into my land destruction deck though. Land sac is particularly evil because you know you're using it to kill everyone's lands. Normal LD or even MLD at least is justifiable on ...

Just FYI, this deck's commander still can force tokens to attack while populating them.

You mean they ETB tapped and attacking. Because usually forced attack makes me think of Erg Raiders and friends, which would not attack if it could not attack.
