I will be glad to find a place for this in Goreclaw. It may not have 4 power, but I enjoy annoying green creatures especially when they draw me plenty of cards.
Love this idea. For the true "achievement unlocked" feeling, I want to do this and then win by drawing my deck and decking myself (or pitching the cards to do something) over the course of a few attacks. Would require this not being the commander, but something in Temur colors to give yourself the blue decking wincons and red extra attack spells?
The regular art is a bit hard to make out in normal size, but I like it when blown up and you can actually tell what the tail is and what the paw-claw is. The showcase art is SWEET.
How i feel about competitive players and casual players in EDH: The competitive are german tourists, the casual are italian tourists, both in a italian beach. The italians asking themselves "why are the germans here?" make a legitimate question, the answer is because the beach is beautiful, no matter the country you came from. The italians wanting to ban the germans are dumb, because if the germans pay for their stay and follow the rules like everyone else, they have the right to be in the beach. Hovewer, if the germans started to ask themselves "why are the italians here?"... they would be dumb as hell.
Been trying to figure out how to brew Toski, Bearer of Secrets as a Squirrel Tribal Aggro deck even as a budget version with no Earthcraft to combo with Squirrel Nest and Throne of the God-Pharaoh but to no avail. The fact that he comes out on turn 4 (turn 3 or earlier with Jeweled Lotus, Sol Ring, and/or Elvish Spirit Guide) and doesn't ramp as efficiently early to mid game as Nissa, Vastwood Seer is a bit underwhelming IMO. Aside from Mono-Green Tribal and Squirrel support Toski doesn't leave a lot of room for infinite combos to go off as good. You want to spam as many Squirrels and pump Toski as soon as possible to not only deal Commander damage but also reap off of card draws by giving all your Squirrels deathtouch and trample. Shouldn't be hard to get a Voltron win with Alpha Status and/or Blackblade Reforged at least.
Worldslayer works pretty well with Toski If you have a way to get around that 5 equip cost somehow. I can see Maze of Ith, Sundial of the Infinite, and Ebony Horse slowing Toski down from having to attack each combat. You can even turn your draws into Bear tokens with Words of Wilding though I don't think it'd be worth it unless you need chump blockers. Toski, Bearer of Secrets seems too janky as a Voltron Commander though in regard to benefiting off of a Squirrel army is where he truly shines. It's just too bad there isn't enough Squirrel support that's in black border unless Kaldheim changes that. Krenko, Mob Boss can work off of Goblins faster than Toski can with Squirrels. I want Toski, Bearer of Secrets to be good though I don't expect him to be cEDH viable. Seems like a lot of Commanders are being pressured into having to keep up with cEDH nowadays.

Took the words right out of my mouth. I know this is a fantasy setting and the scroll tail is cool but as a fan of squirrels I wished our first squirrel commander actually looked like a squirrel.
I think I've learned to treat Magic cards like baseball cards: keep 'em in a binder in numerical order, don't play with 'em, try to finish the set and just keep my head down.
Seems to fit well into an elf deck, which tends to play similarly to a squirrel deck, I imagine. Make a bunch of tokens and go wide for big card advantage.
He's going to meet and join brash taunter in a super gruul can't kill me deck. Maybe with klothys thrown in for good measure, what a party!

Covered in a very long scroll, apparently.

That tail looks a frost giant stepped on it, though.
