Am I weird for being disappointed in Shifting Woodland ? The Delirium trigger requiring at least four card types in the graveyard seems to encourage a lot of multi type cards, and then requiring four mana (not including the land itself) to activate it makes it seem like it will help out some combo d...

Well, dang. I was already looking at Flare of Cultivation , but here is another mono-green/non-colorless-required card to consider. The tricky part is that the activated ability wants cheap creatures to activate it, while giving the greatest benefit with larger creatures. I am not sure my own deck w...

I mean, you can tell that WotC's version of "combo" with this is Nulldrifter using its evoke cost, and getting five cards for three mana is pretty efficient. I honestly don't know if they care about infinite combos in Commander.

Have you considered other Titania ( Titania, Voice of Gaea ) and Argoth, Sanctum of Nature as part of your 99 as another method of recurring lands from the graveyard en masse? Even pre-meld, she helps keep your life total up and she's big enough to trigger the card draw elements looking for power 3....

Yeeeea turns out we're not out of the woods yet. The ninjas missed a Facebook group that has the commander decks First a cleaner version of some of those new eldrazi deck cards we already figured out https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/845756668993470495/1234964966852001892/eldrazi-commander-dec...

I know it is dumb, but I am mildly annoyed that Gold Rush doesn't make Gold tokens.

It's like someone who plays blue/green wanting something other than "when this creature attacks, I draw cards and play extra lands". Yes, there are plenty of twists on that idea and there are other themes ("leviathans" for all those merfolk and merfolk-adjacent creatures), but th...

I'm confused about why a modern set has commander decks

Because Wizards of the Coast is the only profitable segment of Hasbro and Commander-adjacent products sell better than products for other formats, so Hasbro is doing whatever it can to stay afloat.

He looks terrible to me. Wait 7 turns and he builds a Bear Umbra ? Yeah ok pass. I think the idea is that you put him in an aura deck so all your creatures are getting untapped as well, giving him/them pseudo-vigilance, and so on. It's all enchanted permanents, not just lands. The mana fixing aspec...

Yeah, if Bethesda had a sense of humor, I think they would be more likely to acknowledge how poor that "radiant quest" idea was implemented and joke about it. Flavor-wise, it is a mess. The only reason I see him being those three colors is "mana fixing is green and soldiers make us th...

. I was super pumped for Assemble the Players at first, but thinking about it more it's probably a dud for most decks. Looking at my two whitest weeniest decks (Heliod and Lurrus), Heliod runs 30 creatures but only 23 that can be played off the top with Assemble. Lurrus fairs a bit better with 29 c...

I reviewed the rules on transform while planning to pick up one of the new transforming gods and want to make sure I am not making a mistake. When transforming from the Temple side back to the God side, the activation requires the land to tap. Transforming doesn't untap the card, correct? If so, tha...

Ojer Kaslem, Deepest Growth joins The Skullspore Nexus as two cards which interest me for my mono-green EDH deck. It is creature-heavy with an emphasis on commander damage as finisher, but I never regret having additional normal threats, especially ones which can provide card advantage. Until I can...

Throne of Eldraine looks really appealing. Is it expensive? Moderately so. But it pays commander tax up to twice, is a significant mana ramp, and also acts as card draw to refill your hand after you use it it to cast all your spells. Green players can also ramp into it, which makes it even more app...

Also seems fun in conjunction with Kozilek, Butcher of Truth . An opponent loses at least ten life and you get your whole graveyard back. I am also happy that Smite the Deathless doesn't work on Thrun, Breaker of Silence . It generally makes me sad when offense beats defense. Yeah, I am looking at y...

Berserk would definitely be on my list if I wanted to add instant-speed buff. I love its interaction with indestructible and it can even be used as creature removal for enemies to mix things up. That makes it more flexible than something like Primal Bellow . Re:beatsticks. What I found (and keep in...

I started playing Commander back when it was still Elder Dragon Highlander, well before Hasbro noticed the format and started making products focused on it. My Thrun, the Last Troll deck was full of green good stuff, with some search and card draw to pull out the utility creatures which could disrup...

I think you may have gone too light on basic lands to make Prismatic Vista, Sakura-Tribe Elder, and Rampant Growth useful. There are also a lot of cards which look for Forests compared to how many Forests you have (7, if I counted right). The only cards I see which require more than one black mana a...
