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.
Reef Worm thank heavens this would have spiked faster than a rocket if not reprinted in this Shamanic Revelation another honorable mention was just about to enter above $1
The Winner Reprint(s) are.... Rite of Replication currently $11 Ezuri's Predation currently $17 (Awwwww they didn't errata the beast's tokens to Phyrexian beasts Tokens oh well.)
oh I really hope some of you got helm of the host during dominaria print run or got it while cheap it's gonna spike hard because of this deck
When it was teased that there would be a new creature caring about sea monsters i got excited. Spawning Kraken is so boring.
you can't be serious sea monster tribal players will go bonkers for this especially when tiro of meletis sees it.
It's not that it's a bad card design, it's just that I feel we were expecting either a legendary or something a bit more impactful than a token without evasion. Getting an untapped creature to help deter a crackback is nice, but you already need to work to get your big monsters through since so few have natural evasion. Or rely on the one copy of Serpent of Yawing Depths to be found on time and survive. This ability on a commander would at least have been a build around and give a bit of consistency.

Decent value for reprints but not a fan of the fractal theme.
I kind of like fractal harness. At first it seems bad at X=1 but if it comes down a turn earlier then it becomes a 2/2 next turn anyway (assume it survives). Will get to test for my artifact cube.
Given the token theme I was expecting the food making chef but I guess it makes more sense in the GB lifegain deck.
EDIT: Esix is crazy with armies in a can! Myr Battlesphere is 21 creatures. Deep Forest Hermit is 16 6/6 Squirrels. I had to read it 4 times to make sure. Am I reading this right?

This entire "counter" theme invites you to totally get all in on it.
Proliferate counters, make more tokens of everything, Doubling Season all if it.
Almost all the cards get out of hand super quickly.
Deekah: oh simple it’s shark typhoon on a legendary basically but can grant unblock ability rather than flying
Ruxa: hey Congradulations this is the brith of a French vanilla themed commander deck and for 99 that’s Ayula, Queen Among Bears all the way the vast majorly of the bears will get the buff and quite a few of the bears can be brought back from the grave with this
Curiosity crafter *smells* aah the fresh smell of yet another reliquary tower effect these always benefit and this one can even draw you cards for tokens getting damage through via combat.
Perplexing test (teaser name by the way): very nice slightly worse Evacuation but with options based on creature board states is it more tokens or more non-tokens in play.
Replication test: this is a risky demonstrate you get to copy 2 stuff you own but a opponent can get something too. I say the safest thing by far is doing it with atleast 1 token of and Biovisionary in self because you just win instantly that way.
Spawning Kraken Yo tiro of meletis this is the card your waiting for, anyway not so hot for this pre-con but sea monster tribal will absolutely take this easily (too bad it’s not legendary that would be a perfect legend)
Fractal harness: sweet a doubler for attack and germ ETB but somewhat pointless if you already have Kalonian Hydra in the deck since it does that attack effect for all the creatures
Guardian augmenter: oh this would have been so much better if itself has hexproof as well. Oh here’s a tip it’s saids “you control” not “you own” so that means if you happen to control magic someone’s commander (or whatever way) it gains hexproof since you control it
Paradox zone: pretty simple token maker that gets double sized every end step would rather use sandwurm convergence since it throw in no flying attackers allowed even though no size doubler
sequence engine if this wasn’t sorcery speed, nor a huge mana amount needed for giants creatures to be targeted , and not a tap ability so untappers needed. This would have defeated scavenging ooze.
Geometric nexus: before you say it sticks you might want to read that it’s everybody's instants/sorceries spells not just yours it see's so you gonna make Godzilla size tokens easily with this so any token themed deck can take it since it’s colorless.
oversimplify very very risky since they end up with monster plus size fractals knowing the total power average on a board. But nice it exiles the creatures though I saw best case is to have 9 mana for this and a wrath effect when you have next to none creatures

The answer to essix/mystic reflection is always master of waves imho. with just those 2 - he enters with 3 devotion, makes 3 of himself with 6 devotion and you end up with 18 5/4 elemental tokens. go.
new goal in life. cast doubling season and untap with it. hmmm....oversimplifytwincast 2 tokens with twice your boardstate's previous power that then get exiled to make 2 tokens with 8 times your old boardstate's power.
perplexing test is very similar to the white destroy all non-token critter wraths. This is instant speed - so in this deck it should function like a poor man's cyclonic rift to let you swing for the kill.

(Anyone else notice how one color always gets an extra card?)
DUDE!!
this queen is yelling at you big time
Indeed Ayula is still the better commander, but Ruxa is a fine card in the 99 for her
(gameplay or $)
(honorable mention is Hornet Queen now the tokens are truly no longer gonna be hard to get)
Reef Worm thank heavens this would have spiked faster than a rocket if not reprinted in this
Shamanic Revelation another honorable mention was just about to enter above $1
not that many lands this time best we got is Lumbering Falls and Yavimaya Coast
The Winner Reprint(s) are....
Rite of Replication currently $11
Ezuri's Predation currently $17 (Awwwww they didn't errata the beast's tokens to Phyrexian beasts Tokens oh well.)
oh I really hope some of you got helm of the host during dominaria print run or got it while cheap it's gonna spike hard because of this deck
It is the vanilla matter commander that casual players were asking since the print of Muraganda Petroglyphs
you can't be serious sea monster tribal players will go bonkers for this especially when tiro of meletis sees it.
and plus don’t forget the changelings
https://scryfall.com/search?as=grid&order=name&q=oracle:Changeling
Plus Amorphous Axe, Mistform Ultimus, maskwood nexus, mutavault, conspiracy, Arcane Adaptation, Xenograft, and finally Unnatural Selection

Excatly my thoughts
Deekah pumps out a lot of huge monsters for pitch-spells and free spells in particular, also with Delve.
That looks quite nice.

Esix: whoa that was quick it’s just a single dang set later we already got Mystic reflection on a legend. So who’s gonna try 3 color legend/partners or 4 color partners or a 5-color legend to run this with Brudiclad, Telchor Engineer and Trostani, Selesnya's Voice and Thalisse, Reverent Medium/Teysa Karlov?

Commander's insight very simple it’s strictly better Blue Sun's Zenith only con it it doesn’t go back to the library
