Oh a straight blink general. And a cool one at that. So are all the secondaries gonna cost 5?

EDIT: Wait, no. Esper wasn't.

Check out the thread for my cube if you have the time, and tell me how terrible it is.

Generals meant to be drafted first in a single pack of 6 cards.

And here is the actual cube, meant to be drafted in 4 regular sized packs. (60 card decks)

Opal Palace is gonna be good for cheaper voltron style generals.

Hey rules experts: would the land work in a Karn, Silver Golem deck since he doesn't have any color identity?

Either way, this will bre great for an Experiment Kraj deck.

Kind of wish Roon returned the creature instantly. Also, not sure how I feel about Opal Palace. I hope this doesn't mean no Command Tower. That card is getting kind of pricey and it's pretty much an auto-include for any 2+ color Commander deck, especially the enemy color ones.

I like that some of these new commanders are just straightforward enablers for popular existing archetypes. You want to play Bant blink? There's Roon. Want to play lots of Wheel of Fortunes and hand punishment? Nekusar's right for the job. Want to play Esper Artifacts without Sharuum painting a bullseye on your forehead? Sydri is available.

Blink general is cool I guess. Bant didn't really need it.

New Commander now is cool too. Wish it gave haste instead :/

And there debuts the blink Commander! I really appreciate Wizards coming out with the official archetypes people have begged for the longest time such as Roon and Nekusar.

Opal Palace seems like a decent card.

So the only secondary commander we are missing now is the Jund one right?

No. The second ability would not be able to produce mana.

Not running a card because you wouldn't have fun with it is the most important reason not to run a card.

More brokenness for Commander.

Roon of the Hidden Realm is gonna make ETB creatures even better and will help creatures or itself dodge removals and board wipe like no tomorrow.

Man, I wish that Roon was just UW. I've used the Planeswalker Venser in some circles as a Commander, and I was hoping to have a near identical copy in the form of a Legendary creature.

Oh well, now I have to get some UG, and GW lands.

Opal Palace will be auto-include in Animar, Soul of Elements as a way to recover from a board wipe.
