Whats commandos? I cant seem to find much on it other than cards with "commando" in their name or "did you mean commandER archetypes?" search suggestions.
I currently have mother goose and hydroid krasis and i think im gonna swap one of those out for this. I do miss the days of trygon predator sometimes, and this is just a much better body. Id probs have ignored it entirely if it didnt have vigalance and 4 toughness tho.
I also like its interaction with random artifact token production for when ive run out of things to break that my opponents control
I dont think the 5/0 split is good unless you are already winning and just need a body to finish the job, be it the 5/5 or something you draw into with the 5 cards.
But as a mulldrifter variant that spells matter decks could play and benefit from? Much more intersting. I think getting your best card and a 4/4 or getting 4 cards and a thopter at instant speed is bananas, since that's already something i want to do with young peasy decks. Plus, "modular mull drifter" off of snapcaster mage/torrential gearhulk just sounds like a spicy combat trick.
I guess it is true that being a build around is rough. I just happened to find enough incidental 1 damage abilities or 1 power token production that worked well with him. Particularly in red based spells matter decks that already run things like young peasy and burn, or go wide token decks that like hellrider, goblin bombardment, and Judeth.
Maybe it's just a flashy win more card that caught my eye, but I'm gonna try it out and see how it plays put
Surprised to see no discussion for this guy. I think with the amount of split damage abilities like seismic wave, arc lightning, or bigger effects like inferno titan and hellrider, this guy can represent a ton of damage. He even buffs your 1/1s damage. Stuff like goblin bombardment or Judith also seems silly
Even the humble Spikefield Hazard becomes a super bolt. Thoughts?
Vodalian Mindsinger enters the battlefield with two +1/+1 counters on it for each time it was kicked.
When Vodalian Mindsinger enters the battlefield, gain control of target creature with power less than Vodalian Mindsinger's power for as long as you control Vodalian Mindsinger.
Honestly I'm not a huge fan of most temur cards typically used in cube and thought this might be a flexible sower of temptation /Thread's of disloyalty variant for the slot. It's not the craziest pick, but I like that it can be in any combination of the blue combinations for temur, and even just as a dual color creature hits a lot of relevant targets. Obviously 5 mana, 2 color 4/4 with limited targets isn't great, but having the base body for 1UU and hitting two power targets for a tricolor slot isn't awful either. I'm personally testing it out just because I have a void for temur.
I guess to boil it down, it's not the best at this job, but it's not strictly color bound to a URG deck either
This is most certainly a powered down recurring nightmare for unpowered cubes, where recurring nightmare is just too much so that's fantastic.
I'm planning on dropping dance of the dead to get a cleaner looking text box in the cube for petty reasons. I know its not an equivalent exchange, 2 mana recursion is better than 5 mana split. I think the ability to repeatedly recur is well worth it and being an artifact gives a new interesting way to cheat out thicc boys from the yard in the artifact fatty.dec thanks to OG tezzeret, welders, or even in conjunction with feldon by eating the token copy to recur the original.
i could be looking in the wrong spot tho

I like the art were getting, but i think this may seal the deal on me ever getting the OG art extended.
"OH HO, DO YOU NOW"
I'm supporting artifacts and zombies <3

Can get real big real fast with the right deck and large enough artifact support. This looks like a rad inclusion
