You’re building with a lot of Auras yourself, but there’s some other tricks you can play, and once in a while you’ll get something neat from one of your opponents.īPhillipyork: Legendary Cascade is an interesting ability. I don’t know why I want like 20 copies of Ivy, but there’s a way to get there.įromtheshire: Very fun and encourages a slightly different approach than a lot of other Simic decks. Simic, make an ungodly number of token decks keeps getting support. Also it’s nice to see Jhoira again, continuing to be a boss.īPhillipyork: This card is bad but fun as hell. This means you can rapidly dump a lot of artifacts and get some big artifact into play.įromtheshire: Birthing Pod style decks are almost always very powerful, and working with notoriously strong artifacts while increasing two at a time should make alarm bells go off in your head, even before they get to untap shenanigans, of which there are many. There’s some fairly obvious loops, Clock of Omens and – Liquimetal Torque and Liquimetal Coating (or other artifact-ings), this will let you drop an artifact, then tap it and another artifact to untap Jhoira, which means you can drop another artifact. Also potentially big for Fling-ing things after they’ve dealt combat damage or other hilarious shenanigans.įromtheshire: Nice flexibility and useful triggers.īPhillipyork: So this is a fairly badass version of Jhoira. Usually you are drowning in ways to trigger it and are searching for the few copies in your deck so the access is great, and coming with incidental life gain and deathtouch as a bonus is really handy as well.īPhillipyork: Another boss aristocrats style commander, very solid triggers for Mardu or Rakdos aristocrats style. The triggers are separated, which is interesting and has some weird implications, largely that if your death trigger loop requires a life payment you’ll die too, but hopefully be recovering as creatures come into play.įromtheshire: Having your first copy of Zulaport Cutthroat be in your command zone is excellent in the type of deck that wants it. Deathtouch is one of the better evergreen keywords on a commander since it means if you’re forced to chump block he’ll take something down with him. The fact he’s a cleric is pretty nice, for things like Orah. WB is very affordable to get a trigger onto the board so you can start sacrificing. Even in joke decks this a very solid ability to go wide with, much less once it’s something like The Locust God with real spells and a billion hasty insects.īPhillipyork: This is a boss Orzhov aristocrats commander or trigger for aristocrats decks.
For aggro go wide decks a lot of potential in Izzet colors but those decks have a lot of trouble closing out the game.įromtheshire: If you think I’m not building an Izzet bird deck jamming Bird Maiden now you clearly don’t read this column much. There’s a lot of Equipment that is balanced by having high equip costs, and dropping these to 1 offers some interesting possibilities.īPhillipyork: This is a fun sort of board prowess ability. Dwarf vehicles is fun, and it’s fine to have a non-dwarf commander I guess but it doesn’t feel very on theme.įromtheshire: Only getting the effect once is a bit of a bummer, but the abilities are pretty great. Equip 1 and Crew 1 is okay, fun for a goofy kind of deck, but I wish he was a dwarf and not a human. Overall kind of mediocre.įromtheshire: Pretty slow and narrow, at least he’s a Human I suppose.īPhillipyork: The ETB trigger in my opinion should be a tap trigger, not an ETB trigger. Menace is pretty meaningless on a creature where by default you would want to keep him untapped to use his ability. 3 toughness is enough to avoid most board control based on damage, which is nice. In terms of generating value this is neato, and white can do a lot of with +1/+1 counters, but it’s a lot of colored mana. A sac outlet in the command zone is nice, but this costs mana, and taps, so it’s not spammable or a win con. Good luck getting his emblem to be active.īPhillipyork: A-Aron here is an aristocrats and +1/+1 themed type deal. He has a great +1 Loyalty ability for creature digging. Rocco Gest: This is a great Planeswalker that I can’t wait to add to my collection.

On top of that, the ultimate ensures this will live rent free in enough people’s heads that more often than not this will die as soon as you cast it. The +1 is useful, but in green you could easily just have straight up card draw instead, and the minus isn’t much to write home about in EDH. BPhillipyork: Compleated Planeswalkers are here to stay (yeah right, they’re going to get uncompleated) giving people poison counters is neat as an emblem, but kind of underwhelming.įromtheshire: Look, I could go into a whole lore thing here about Planeswalkers being able to be compleated now but let’s set that aside for the time being.
