Wow, it almost feels as if we got a second set this year... really got my eyes set on Arena Rector and Stolen Strategy. The prices are also up there though, I don't recall a recent set at this price level recently.

The secret to enjoyable Commander games is not winning first, but losing last.
If my post has no tags, then i posted from my phone.
Bramble Sovereign seems a pretty good card for any creature based deck. Ignore the ability to give you opponents stuff (well, unless they cast Phage of course) and just enjoy copying everything you play for 1G
Bramble Sovereign is the best green card i've seen since probably doubling season. I'm gonna test her in every deck i have with green
I will probably grab one, but there is no deck i have currently that will utilize her well. I cant put in dragons as not enough non-legend creatures to make her worthwhile, and Ghave is token based.
Mixed with a good amount of counter movement. the fact that you can move any counter from any creature is a very unique and rare ability, and now we have Pir and a DS reprint, as well as a card that draws us cards for moving counters onto opposing creatures. Daghatar is a few good cards away from having a very cool niche.
BTW, Daghatar can only move +1/+1 counters, though that is the most common kind of counter. I too love that new green creature and Dhagatar is perfect with many cardsof this set.
So i feel its safe to call Spellseeker a blue staple
Yep! Three-mana creatures that tutor on entering are solid, even with only a 1/1 body: Imperial Recruiter, Recruiter of the Guard, Trinket Mage. And the format has tons of excellent 0-2-mana instants and sorceries.
I'm excited to put a copy of Spellseeker in at least my Merieke deck.
Frenetic Efreet was errated around Odyssey because of Chance Encounter however that errata was reversed in 2009 and the card currently works as printed.
Time to draw some cards and make an obscene sized Cyclops

coin flip shenanigans, i think i will use this as my R/U deck. (Though I still kind want to use nin as my commander for my U/R deck.
First Dominaria, now Battlebond, WotC is finally getting their creative juice back. And the sheer amount of good reprints are also very welcomed. Good job.

There is an interesting caveat here. You essentially can't draw your whole deck with Frenetic Efreet and Zndrsplt, Eye of Wisdom. Once you resolve Frenetic Efreet trigger either way, it's off the battlefield and you won't be activating it again if ever, so you have to activate the ability proactively the total amount of coin flips you want to, but you can't know how many of those flips you'll win, and Zndrsplt, Eye of Wisdom isn't a may clause, so you have to figure out what odds you want to play and then do all the flips. Also, you insta-lose to Word of Seizing cause Zndrsplt, Eye of Wisdom triggers off of anyone winning a coin flip.
I am not arguing against playing these things, rather I'm just nerding out at the design.
Edit: Even better idea! Stack infinite coin flips, draw and cast Glorious End. Even more gambling!

Zedruu: "This deck is not only able to go crazy - it also needs to do so."
They've been around since Alpha and its taken until 2018 but FINALLY we get a legendary wurm! And it is WEIRD!
slap a darksteel plate on it, attack with a massive token army and have them all fight your wurm. Where does it say your creatures can fight each other?

sadly is a may so your oponents's creatures aren't forced to fight it
Brightflame and Brightspear. Brightspear give all my dragons doubel strike which is worthwhile. Brightflame boost my knights whch does nothing in dragon tribal. But it doe sallow me to grab brightspear, and it brightspear gives me a free dragon in my ahnd. So yea I'll run both. And I know what I am removing already for them.
5 cards I want now (6 if you include D.Season, I own one, i just don't want to have to proxy a duplicate if i can help it)
So until someone else can amass eight power, they probably aren’t attacking you, right? In the color that has decent instant-speed indestructible and hexproof?
I’ll probably try it in Surrak. Curves nicely after him to swing on probably turn four.
EDIT: Lol just remembered Greater Good in this set, the perfect combo
LOL and we had Tree of Redemption in a Master Sets. What a joke Masters 25 was, jesus christ

This set is like hold all the stuff that was suppose to be in iconic and 25 masters
Bramble Sovereign is terrific fun in EDH--it's anti-general tech!
EDIT: NEVERMIND, forgot about new, terrible legend rule. Good with Reyhan, though!
