  • posted a message on Commander 2017 announcement -- Only 4 decks, based on popular tribes, not color wheel!
    It'd be nice if we got a Naya Druid tribal deck that has ramp, land animation, and a reprint of every single enchantress.

  • posted a message on What 4 tribes will we see in Commander 2017?
    Zombies are less likely now, but it's WOTC we're talking about, so it's not impossible.

    I think the four tribal decks will be-

    WURBG Dragon Stompy (assumed confirmed)
    BGW Elf Ball
    UR Wizard Spellslinger
    WUBRG Elemental land matters

    What I wish they were, however are-

    RGW Wolf Zoo
    UB Faerie Control
    WUBRG Warrior Aggro

    (Sigh) If only.

    Creature - Demon (R)
    Flying
    T: Target player reveals his or her hand. You may choose a card revealed this way and play it as though it had flash.
    5/3
    They are the most solitary of the seven, 'host' being a purely decorative title, for fear that they would steal from one another. No one is saying it is an irrational fear.

    Let us now be speaking of tribes for the set being called Commander 2017, yeah?

    The dragons appear to be taking up the big stompy play style, so I think we can rule out other big stompy tribes such as Giant, Octopus, Wurm, Leviathan, Kraken, and Sea Serpent.

    What play styles go with what tribes?

    Graveyard shenanigans? See Zombie, Spirit, Ooze, or Insect.
    Artifacts matter? Let's go Artificer, Golem, Myr, or Kor.
    Hard aggro? Got to be Warrior, Soldier, or Knight.
    Counters? Literally any tribe fits, however, Hydra, Fungus, and Mutant are dependent on that play style.
    Life-Gain? Better be Cleric, Vampire, or Angel.

    Host of Lust 4BR
    Creature - Demon (R)
    Flying, haste
    Whenever Host of Lust becomes blocked, you may return it to its owner's hand. If you do, gain control of target creature until end of turn. That creature is tapped and attacking.
    3/3

    Quote from Dontrike »
    I see talk of Ajani going back to Dominaria and I have to ask, so please tell me if I'm wrong. Isn't Dominaria still closed off? I thought PWs couldn't walk back there because something had closed it off.


    Dominaria was only closed off during the Shard of Twelve Worlds era. It stopped being closed off at the end of the Ice Age set.

    Is there a reason there are Planeswalker Watermarks on some of the card's text boxes?


    Story spotlight cards have the planeswalker watermark.

    Yay! Dominaria!

    Now we'll finally have definite proof as to when the freaking Mending happened. In Alara block they said it was a century ago, then in Scars block they backtracked and said its only been about a decade, but then the Amonkhet story doesn't make sense unless it was a century ago since Bolas couldn't have subjugated an entire plane and established an entire culture around himself in a mere decade because he was nothing more than a disembodied spirit trapped in the time rifts before he tricked Venser into freeing him. Speaking of Venser, that's another issue; if the Mending was a century ago, how did he not age but Liliana did. Was it an aftereffect of walking into a time-rift? Does that mean Teferi and Radha are both ageless too? I hope so.

    Even if a hundred years have passed since the Mending, the following characters should still be alive on Dominaria and I want cards for them all:
    -Karn
    -Jhoira
    -Squee
    -Jodah (especially Jodah!)
    -Multani (Possibly still comatose from being used to close the Yavimaya time-rift)
    -Teferi (if time-rift exposure explains Venser's youth)
    -Radha (if time-rift exposure explains Venser's youth)

    I also want to see slivers (not predaliens), I want to see kavu, I want to see cephalids errata'd to be octopus, I want kobolds, I want green cat warriors, I want to see where the heck Guff's library full of omniscient, reality bending books is located, and I want a lot of other things but my rambling has gone on long enough.

    In short, YAY! DOMINARIA!
