Very hard not to look at this as a cash grab move.
Exectuive 1: "Folks, standard is failing and our profits are down. We can't just keep churning masters set to make people buy premium products, they're starting to notice our scheme".
Executive 2: "Standard has been bad for years, but you know what people like? Commander"
Executive 3: "Why don't we make Commander with only standard legal cards, so people are forced to buy into our new product even though it is bad?"

DrWorm posted a message on [Primer] Skred RedFYI, back in the day this deck was know as Skred Red, which is a pretty cool name. I have been working on a deck like this based on DOLZero's Moon's Essence deck, though I have not finalized a list or done any testing yet. Another wincon that I came across is Boros Reckoner and/or Spitemare with a big ol' Skred aimed at it. My other off the cuff suggestion is that Magus of the Moon can up your moon count nicely (and I really would play more than four moons if I were you), though it is more vulnerable.Posted in: Modern Archives - Deck Creation
...oh, and Chandra Pyromancer would fit well in a deck like this. - To post a comment, please login or register a new account.

That last part is so ridiculous I can’t even come up with a vaguely articulate response.

If a card does not do something powerful for its mana cost the turn it comes down, and you have to mention 1-3 other pieces to abuse it, it simply isn’t that strong. Combo piece? Sure - just like dozens of other cards, and at 6cmc no less.

The natural synergy with all the life loss in Marchesa is quite significant. Between Reanimate,Unspeakable Symbol, Treasonous Ogre, Yawgmoth, all the painlands, etc I ended up drawing over half my library by recouping life from Whip of Erebos.
Might have been a one-time success but the card definitely made an impression.

I don’t run Redcap but I do play Glen Elendra Archmage for infinite sac trigger shenanigans, that’s possibly an additional option to consider.

Suffice it to say I think you’ll excite a lot more people and get more player participation when you offer a product that actually encourages engagement instead of treating your consumers like a captive market with subpar intelligence.
They’ve been treating players like fools for a while, that approach is likely to have a diminishing rate of returns.
