So by now we know the general game plan of each Commander deck, as well as what the 5 Strixhaven colleges are focused on. I am just generally assuming here, but I imagine the Commander decks will be loosely based on themes like this:
WR: Artifacts, Graveyard Recursion of Artifacts, Spirits, Combat RU: Instants and Sorceries, Casting Big Spells, Treasure UG: Tokens, +1/+1 counters, making Copies/Clones GB: Life Gain/Drain, +1/+1 counters, graveyard interaction, tokens? BW: Politics, +1/+1 counters, flying?
Knowing this, I am wondering what cards would be good reprints for these decks. We can exclude talking about the obvious things like Command Tower, Sol Ring, and Arcane Signet, as these are likely to be in the decks. I want to know what weird cards we will see reprinted that help these strategies. I have a small list of ideas, feel free to add to it!
pucatrade
big receipts
alpha mox emerald
beta time walk
4 goyfs received
3 liliana of the veil
4 karn liberated
3 force of will
4 grove of the burnwillows
snapcaster mage
3 horizon canopy
2 full art damnation
Good guesses, but I hope some of those mentions for the Witherbloom deck are not in there. They're really... bad for Commander. Predator's Rapport? I mean we need to see like the best reprints for Black and Green that function around lifegain/drain in order to make this deck work.
I would also love for Dread to be reprinted. I've loved that card for such a long time and have awaited its return as a reprint. This would be a good place for it; I am hoping that WotC doesn't forget about it. Wouldn't it be cool if it had new art and kinda looked like a giant Inkling Monstrosity?
