But 35 is just horrendous. I hate it. Worst part of set commander by far. 35 basics seems unreasonable in almost any deck, I don't run that many even in my mono colour decks :rofl: I can't imagine any 2 or 3 colour deck would work with that many. Might be just me, but I wouldn't call it forbidden f...

I'm not sure what running a nonbasic "for the sake of them" means, For me this means including every possible "dual" non-basic, mainly in reference to the ones that etb tapped, but even those that have conditions for etb untapped. I do like to have couple, but it is rare for me ...

i don't run nonbasics just for the sake of them - especially if they can't generate mana of color. Hitting pips and entering untapped are the most important things when it comes to lands overall. This sums up my attitude towards non-basic lands as well. I do run a lot of basics mostly because of th...

Card Considerations & Changes [br] Opportunities to test new cards have been limited this year so far, but I have been testing and evaluating these three cards: Skrelv, Defector Mite vs Mother of Runes On paper Skrelv does appear as a strictly better version of the Mother but I do not think he ...

@Avacyn Believer if you are into leaks, you might enjoy the maiden for your human deck consideration Thanks for the tip :) If it is a real card, I do love the design for a Human Tribal, because to me it has something fairly easy to build around, and card advantage on the commander is always nice. T...

Saskia the Unyielding for an aggressive build sounds fun. Play some Thalia, Heretic Cathar s, Loran of the Third Path s, Dark Confidant s and such, drop Saskia to double strike someone to death, use Angel of Glory's Rise and Patriarch's Bidding for some late game reach. You had me at 'aggressive' :...

Ultimately, Tymna the Weaver is the best human Tymna the Weaver and Ludevic, Necro-Alchemist would be something I'd be inclined to try. Sansgreen aggro decks are so fun.

Not a bad shout, drawing a lot is a good way to fill the yard too, to have Humans to reanimate with the Angel.

You could try Nalia de'Arnise with bunch of Shadowborn Apostle s and human payoffs. Nalia would act as kind of janky Future Sight . It is an idea, and perhaps there is something to explore in the DnD party mechanic, but anything with Shadowborn Apostles then turns into Demon payoff which I think de...

Yeah I'll second Bruna. ISB has mentioned a few times the possibility of a human-centric build with her, and it's getting more and more viable with time honestly. Rick, Steadfast Leader getting a universes within treatment, Myrel, Shield of Argive , Recruiter and Ranger-Captain, Esper Sentinel , al...

I've had a Selesnya humans and angels deck forever headed by the OG Sigarda and this new one they printed is just everything I've always wanted for the deck. Being able to cast humans off the top and then protecting them is just clutch. Starting to think I ought to first figure out what I want the ...

Thanks for the suggestions! If this is an EDH deck, as I presume it is, I would suggest this commander: Sigarda, Font of Blessings . You can run both angels and humans together. Alternatively, if you want more Human focus, you could go with Kyler, Sigardian Emissary , but I think Sigarda might be wh...

love these :D

I've noticed that I don't have any tribal decks anymore, and while I could scour EDHREC and other resources, I figured the best resource there is, all of you! and your experience :) I never tried to build Humans, so hoping you can give me some pointers what to look for and build around. As the subje...

@Avacyn Believer So what did you mean by "mad things with card types" and how does that relate? Oh, I meant like Battles and Sagas that transform into other card types. Not sure if there was anything else that different from normal card types recently. To me it just shows Wizards are not ...

Are you talking about the flip walkers and grist? I mean, those are neat tricks but I think it'd get old if they did it for as many commanders as there are in aftermath. I think they're just experimenting with new player-milking techniques. Honestly I was just thinking even simpler, just print them...

Wild idea maybe, but I don't think they needed this crazy story to print popular planeswalkers as Legendary Creatures. It's not like they aren't doing mad things with cards types in recent years.

Yeah I said it. Drawing cards is overrated. Doing damage is where its at. While I don't disagree, I think that is more deck specific than something you can apply to everything. Especially if the commander doesn't have card advantage and/or easily combo stapled on them. With commanders like that, yo...

My own experience has been that I've noticed myself moving away from low CMC draw cards and yeah, my decks didn't work consistently. After watching a lot of EDHREC Podcast where they were talking about "unsexy" cards, I've changed my mind and updated my decks so include more of the 2 or 3 ...

Might be just the local meta I am used to playing in, but one of the most common Auras I see the Bear Umbra . I would actually give Fumble a go in some of my blue decks, though I don't think it would be as useful against dedicated Voltron decks since those will use Auras and Equipment for protection.

I am thinking to just pick an old card from the first few sets of Magic
