Re: [mtgnexus] Random Card of the Day - Academy Rector

The rares for the first two Urza's Destiny packs I cracked were this and Yawgmoth's Bargain. I still missed that Urza block was an enchantment theme, but I did get that it was a "development doesn't exist" theme.

Re: [mtgnexus] Random Card of the Day - The Bringer Cycle

Pretty useless, all things considered. They don't do enough, and they only play in wubrg decks.

Re: Aftermath commander roundup

Re: Nahiri, I mean, I could see equipment tokens (which technically already exist ) in the future, and maybe then we might have something, but caring about having a lot of equipped creatures isn't my thing until then, and even then, why not just stick on a Prowler's Helm and Voltron?

Re: Have cheap +1 CA draw spells really "aged out" of the format?

Very specific to low mv cantrips. My rule of thumb is a permanent (usually a creature) with mv 3 or less or a spell with 2 or less, if it's a cantrip, it gets consideration. May not make the cut, but it's considered. And that's not even counting fun things like the time I cast Aggressive Urge on Mir...

Re: [mtgnexus] Random Card of the Day - Evolutionary Leap

Has some niche value in tokens, since you're basically trading a 1/1 token for a card. It's also good for this reason if you're playing Sylvan Library . Don't like the top two cards of your library? You can use this to repeatedly put them on the bottom of your library until you get cards you do like...

Re: [mtgnexus] Random Card of the Day - Mizzix of the Izmagnus

Probably the most popular experience commander that I've seen? Mostly because spellslinger is popular. Sticking to the OGs, I'd say it generally goes: Meren of Clan Nel Toth > Mizzix of the Izmagnus > Ezuri, Claw of Progress >> Daxos the Returned >>>>> Kalemne, Disciple of Iroas I have literally on...

Re: [mtgnexus] Random Card of the Day - Koma, Cosmos Serpent

" Generous Gift is better than Anguished Unmaking " /sarcasm This card is brutal if unchecked. Tapping down lands in the upkeep, tapping planeswalkers. Very hard to overcome. Any time I don't see "nonland" before "permanent", I take note. While it doesn't destroy perma...

If there's someone to remember them then they aren't forgotten :P The forgotten gods in question are Evangelionesque monstrosities as usual .

Re: [mtgnexus] Random Card of the Day - Hushbringer

This and its cousins break a whole archetype over their knee. The other reason to make a portion of your removal slots instants.

TBH, my favorite is the hippogriff. I loves me some instant speed.

You forgot Parallel Lives.

Re: Have cheap +1 CA draw spells really "aged out" of the format?

Maybe the trend is going back toward Timmy. Commander still has a curve, and I personally still use +1 or +2 card draw spells.

At the end of the day, you still need card draw, removal, mana, and recursion, but a lot of new players think this format uniquely doesn't.

Re: [mtgnexus] Random Card of the Day - Back for More

I like this one. Sure, I usually prefer early, more broken reanimator spells, but getting a removal with it is great. I'm picking up something big anyway nine times out of ten, right? It just happens that at six mana, I'm usually talking It That Betrays or Pathrazer of Ulamog

Re: [mtgnexus] Random Card of the Day - The Epic Cycle

I've never played any of them other than Enduring Ideal, and I'm not sure I would want to.

Maybe Endless Swarm with some sort of Spellbook variant (Reliquary Tower, Thought Vessel, etc.) and a freak ton of permanents with activated or triggered abilities that function as spells.

Re: [mtgnexus] Random Card of the Day - Shaman of the Great Hunt

I can't help but think "So much better than Azure Mage." But it really does have a lot of value with "can't be blocked" and things like Traveler's Cloak an dTrailblazer's Boots.

Re: [mtgnexus] Random Card of the Day - Slobad, Goblin Tinkerer

Slow. Bad. I never thought I'd see the day when someone declared a two-drop (and you don't even need to tap to use his ability) "slow". Anyway, first was Falkenrath Noble . It still has some value, e.g., to shore up your defenses against small flying d00dz. But you'll find Cutthroat and B...

Re: [mtgnexus] Random Card of the Day - Fendeep Summoner

I've used the enemy-color lieges in token decks and never really had any complaints, though Mindwrack is a bit expensive. The ally-color ones, being 1HHH, do have the advantage of being generally cheaper, as only Creakwood is the same of the enemy-color ones. Okay, that out of the way, Fendeep Summo...

This just doesn't seem worth it. If you want to run reanimation sagas in Orzhov, I think that Elspeth Conquers Death and The Eldest Reborn are both better.
And unless you're doing an enchantment theme, Unburial Rites is quicker, and there are even cheaper options than that.

Pick two martyrs, win an angel/zombie thing! Seems alright for 3 mana, albeit pretty slow. Probably good for one of those Boros Reckoner type decks, not sure where else it may fit.
Or just use something with indestructible. (Or Cho-Manno, Revolutionary.) Still a bit slow.

Re: [mtgnexus] Random Card of the Day - Vryn Wingmare

Glowrider is older. Unless they're clones like Shatterstar and Longshot. Though TBH Thalia, Guardian of Thraben is slightly cheaper.

Personally I love tax cards. And this is one of my favorites, at least when I'm playing a lot of creatures.

This card is obviously really funny if you have something like Night of Souls' Betrayal and Falkenrath Noble ready.
