Each of these cards has their own use in some way shape or form, and if you know your local pod relies on turning creatures sideways to load up on umpteen combat or attack-related triggers at which point they reach critical mass, surprise them next time.

You need untapped lands to do that though, sorry. Only Alela gets to play at instant speed ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°).

I just hope that Korlag manages to stay safe, because he must be protected at all costs.

Today’s article was my opportunity to sit down with Nathan and chat about attending Magic conventions and get to know him a little better.

Among these, there exists a card that has generated some buzz among cEDH players, a new Dimir Faerie Noble commander that allows you to pick a number. That certainly sounds pretty fun.

The community is what’s keeping Legacy alive, and if there’s anything I can say after this weekend, it’s that Legacy is alive, thriving, and just so much fun right now.

Chief: Let’s be serious. Some people would also rather lose to a Glacial Chasm than have any way to remove it.

Exxaxl: All decks should pass the Glacial Chasm test.

I’m obligated to mention that the brand new borderless artwork for Champion’s Helm depicts Commander players who were waiting around for the card to get a reprint... Paolo Parente knocked this one out of the park.

I’ve occasionally heard that Sun Titan is just too slow for casual Commander these days. If that ever becomes true, I might not continue playing. I have no intention of cutting Sun Titan any time soon.

AlarionMTG: She is a badass Goblin in a wheelchair, that started from the bottom and rose to the top, becoming one of the Izmagnus and serving directly under Niv-Mizzet—one of my favorite characters—so character-wise she won me over from the start!

ultramonkeydude: I actually just picked up Last March of the Ents and I think this would be pretty cool in this deck because my commander is a 10/10. I also just learned about Cavern-Hoard Dragon, which looks like a sick card!

Magic’s as old as Doom, Beanie Babies, the entry into force of the Treaty of the European Union and Nelson Mandela’s Nobel Peace Prize. It’s less fleeting than I thought it would be initially and I get to be a part of it now, for the time being.

Exxaxl: Behoooold the wizaaaaard. Chief: Here we go again.Exxaxl: Bewaaaaare his poweeeeers. Chief: Get it out of your system. Exxaxl: 🤘🎸Unspeakable poweeeeers!

Phil Gallagher from ThrabenU joins us to showcase his philosophy for casual Commander deck-building and asks an age-old question.

The flavor is there for most of them! I’m a big fan of cards like Displacer Beast. The goal of the deck was to shove as much of the D&D art in there while still having a defined wincon and having a deck that would still be fun for both me and everyone I play the deck against.

Bone Sabres seems like just the type of card your tokens need without being ‘too strong’. If this card also gave a keyword to the equipped creature I’d feel we see it played more often. Bioshift can make a huge difference with how combat flows for you and it’s still wild to me that this isn’t a bigger staple in +1/+1 counter decks. We’ve seen this card printed once in Gatecrash and it’s only $0.14 at the time of writing.

Trigger Guardian Scalelord, returning Abzan Battle Priest to the field. Riot choice is a +1/+1 counter here, trigger Shalai for 2 damage, trigger Enduring Scalelord, trigger Shalai for 2 damage again. Your attackers now have lifelink. How much damage are you taking? Math is for blockers - or for editors, right Chief? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

This is why the recent completion of a cycle that began back in 2004’s Darksteel is such a big deal. After all, it took over 19 years for this cycle to finally come to a close.

It’s weird to see this effect on a mono blue card knowing only 37 cards with at least Blue as their color identity exist (excluding changelings). I’d like to believe this was a deliberate design choice, just like with Vodalian Wave-Knight. Now, can we get a reprint of Riding the Dilu Horse already? Without updating the rules text to say ‘until end of turn’ obviously
