Hey all, I did another article on taking a not super powerful general and try to optimize them to the fullest. Let me know what you think and if there are other generals you'd like to see
Hey guys so I've actually moved on from commander on to 60 card decks so I don't have any commander decks.

Can you tell us, when your ranking of the best lands will be ready?
Sorry it's been a while, life hit me fairly hard late February so I haven't been able to write as much as I'd like. I'm hoping to have it up soon.

Not that surprised with the top ten - good quality fixing is vital for any non-monocoloured deck so the best fixers are always going to rate highly, Strip Mine kills all these cards we're discussing, Tomb is more mana for (almost) any deck, and things like Shop, Tabernacle and Cradle are more niche but simply ridiculous in power level for lands.
I will say I'm slightly surprised that Gemstone Caverns didn't even get onto the full list (unless I'm going blind and missed it) - sure, it's a Wastes if you don't have it in your opener, but if you do, there's good odds on it being another Mox Diamond.

Funny you should mention Blood Moon. It (and Back to Basics) are why I keep a rule that at least half of your lands should be basics. (But I'm very discriminating wrt: dual lands anyway, not just throwing them in because hey, they're dual lands.)
Avacyn's Pilgrim is interesting. When it came out, I thought of it as "mostly better than Llanowar Elves, not as good as Arbor Elf", because of mana fixing. My opinion hasn't really changed, though obviously devotion decks may disagree. (It is possible to do two- or even three-color devotion in Commander, but it involves abusing clones and reanimator spells, along with hybrid mana.)

Card advantage is not the same thing as card draw. Something for 2B cannot be strictly worse than something for BBB or 3BB. If you're taking out Swords to Plowshares for Plummet, you're a fool. Stop doing these things!

Stranglehold and Aven Mindcensor come to mind too. There are also a few really old cards that fetch ramp and fetches but are never really played in EDH (but do see Vintage play) like Ankh of Mishra. For fetch-hosing in EDH, you really don't want to face down Ob Nixilis, Unshackled.

Hey guys, I'm looking to get some more ideas on content you'd like to see. I made a poll but am mostly looking to see comments or whatever on what people would like in the future.

Approach of the Second Sun doesn't work that way. It doesn't have an on-cast trigger, so countering it will stop its controller from winning. Also, it needs to be cast from your hand in order to win the game, so while you can make it work with Narset, casting it off of her trigger will only ever give you seven life and put it in your library.
I think Jakarta could have been an honorable mention but I don't feel like she does anything better than the current GB generals. And she is often a tyre card combo in which the extra two are fairly mediocre.
I just don't see her doing enough.

It's interesting but it's rare to have that many viable creatures on board unless it's infinite
In which case you should be winning anyway.

You still actively doing the blog? I enjoyed the reading, didn't agree completely with Planeswalker rankings but that's part of any subjective ranking system.

I mean, a deck playing Leonin Arbiter?
Nope, even then you want fetches
