Felisa seems really good. It's not hard to throw a bunch of counters on creatures you control, and then have them die off via combat or sacrifice in order to generate seas of inklings. Plus, she has evasion and a way to put counters on creatures herself. Idk, it looks good on paper to me, and I know how crazy things like Cathars' Crusade can get.
The new cards are all pretty cool and unique, which I can really appreciate. They are dedicated to the deck's theme and look like fun and strong cards (although maybe not competitive, but that's okay. I'm more in it for the casual gameplay anyway.) Kinda sad they misprinted Zaffai's name in the text box, but I guess that gives it some weird collector value?
Out of the new cards, I think Veyran and the octopus entices me the most along with the reusable Suspend cards (which I always thought were interesting from the Time Spiral Block).
Good guesses, but I hope some of those mentions for the Witherbloom deck are not in there. They're really... bad for Commander. Predator's Rapport? I mean we need to see like the best reprints for Black and Green that function around lifegain/drain in order to make this deck work.
I would also love for Dread to be reprinted. I've loved that card for such a long time and have awaited its return as a reprint. This would be a good place for it; I am hoping that WotC doesn't forget about it. Wouldn't it be cool if it had new art and kinda looked like a giant Inkling Monstrosity?
Also, what time of day are we expecting these to roll out? Just whenever they feel like it? Or are we getting single cards throughout the day with the full deck at the end of the day like previous series?
Rootha is cool! she kind of has a weird built in protection via casting spells and copying them. Definitely will be finding her home in lots of U/R decks, I imagine.
So by now we know the general game plan of each Commander deck, as well as what the 5 Strixhaven colleges are focused on. I am just generally assuming here, but I imagine the Commander decks will be loosely based on themes like this:
WR: Artifacts, Graveyard Recursion of Artifacts, Spirits, Combat RU: Instants and Sorceries, Casting Big Spells, Treasure UG: Tokens, +1/+1 counters, making Copies/Clones GB: Life Gain/Drain, +1/+1 counters, graveyard interaction, tokens? BW: Politics, +1/+1 counters, flying?
Knowing this, I am wondering what cards would be good reprints for these decks. We can exclude talking about the obvious things like Command Tower, Sol Ring, and Arcane Signet, as these are likely to be in the decks. I want to know what weird cards we will see reprinted that help these strategies. I have a small list of ideas, feel free to add to it!
Huh. Is this a character tied to Silverquil, or is this something else entirely that I haven't learned about yet? Either way, it's pretty cool I guess. I was hoping Black/Green would get the "Magecraft - return a creature" ability to show off the life/death aspect, but this works I suppose. I just wasn't expecting an ally colored card to be secretly in this set.
Since you and the opponent do it, I think it means "Your" as in you guys, or collectively all of you, if that makes sense.
Also, I am very happy Magister of Worth got reprinted. I love that card and I am excited to see its return.
Always gotta make us wait
