Here's a thought: Charge us an annual fee. It seems that most here would rather stay on MTGSalvation, and if it means we need to pay a few dollars to keep it alive it seems like a better option than the forums dying.
Reminds me of when IMDB closed its boards. We need somewhere to go but there won't be an option that is good enough.
If the front side is a Legendary Creature, then it can be in the command zone.
Tibalt is taking over for my Mogis deck.
You know that changeling is in the set, right?
This is a pretty strong 2 drop for limited. Limited is what determines rarity, not constructed.
Also, this could be good in constructed.
When they did Theros, they knew that there was a lot of general knowledge about Greek mythology. Enough to do everything top-down. Films like Troy, 300, Clash of the Titans, Percy Jackson and even the Disney Hercules movie did a lot to give the average person knowledge of greek mythology.
But when they did Amonkhet, they realized that there is very little general knowledge about Egyptian mythology (pretty much nothing beyond mummies and pyramids). So they had to add more to it.
Same thing here. Norse mythology is beloved by a small subset of people. Most people don't know anything more than Thor, Odin, Loki and Mjolnir. A lot of people know of the World Tree, but even then it is not a lot. I am sure that they felt they needed another hook to get players into it. Phyrexians make sense.
In a set like this where we know how many reprints there are the number crunch becomes a lot more worthwhile.
Just look at Amulet of Vigor and imagine in the command zone.
Unfortunately, I just don't see too many etb tapped synergies that aren't land-based. So I guess this is a landfall general?
Blue has much better card draw...
2. Can only be played in monocolor commander decks that will cheat this into play. Assuming anything that is 2+ colors will have better options than a bunch of vanillas.
3. Would be really cool if it was less expensive. Like, a 3/3 for 3 that makes one token when it dies and Encores for 6 mana. Would especially be cool for precursor golem decks.
Most people build around their commanders. So when they can't play their commanders their decks are much weaker. Stealing 3 commanders should be a big enough swing to win you the game, even if they don't help you that much.
I know there are stronger ults than this but I think this is the most game-winning of the PW ults from the command zone so far. I play some of the PW commanders and I don't even try to ult them.
120 cards x 4. I realized that with more people we can draft a normal cube, so this is a good option for less than 4 people.
It is 5 colors, though there are imbalances with the gold cards as I want some people to play 2 colors and others to play 3 colors. I chose not to make any one color deep enough to go monocolor. If I want to enable this I would probably need to cut some gold cards and put some hybrid cards.
Will post the list once I pickup the sleeves.
Do you think there should be sideboarding or no? I think best of 1 would be best. You play each opponent once - 3 quick games.
