Quote from Ryperior74 »Quote from Reki762 »I'm not wild about these and I think they're less good (from what I've seen) than the ZEN precons but, honestly, as someone who is feeling serious wallet strain from my Magic habit, I'm kind of glad that there aren't any Fierce Guardianships/Dockside Extortionists in these decks. I do miss the old way of doing things, releasing 4/5 commanders, on their own, once a year; it was like Christmas for Commander players. But, yeah, I'm glad these'll only cost me 20 bucks or so, if I buy them at all. All that said, again, I'd like to see them focus their Commander energy on making 4-5 really strong (and still affordable) Commander precons each year. I do like that these replaced those jank-ass planeswalker decks, though. Does nobody here remember it’s not the yearly commander Decks they are replacing and it’s the planeswalkers decks I don’t remember where but I believe gavin confirmed we’re still getting those yearly commander decks with lots of new cards along with these weaker $20 ones

Quote from Ryperior74 »I have 2 suspect creature types for number 6 feel free to throw in some stuff 1. monger 2. Nightstalker By one stink-in year Phelddagrif misses out on this (Questing Phelddagrif Was printed in planeshift 19 years ago) And 2# maybe it’s Stasis

Quote from WarMachinePrime »Gross, should have been an uncommon. 25 cent mythic after rotation. Why does every card needs to be a powerhouse?? No one is saying that. Why does every mythic in this set need to be an outhouse?
Why does every card needs to be a powerhouse??
Quote from Ryperior74 » omg they made that same dunce cap/idiotic mistake they made with volcanic salvo And that was a rare To make it mythic rare Worthy the correct wording is “up to any two targets” not “creatures or planeswalkers” so this is the worst mythic of the set easily

Quote from SilvosRogueElemental »Quote from mikeyG » I think a part of it is the limitations of the way they do batching mechanics, your party isn't chosen/static and all the mechanics do is check if things fit basic criteria. What I mean is, the way party was designed doesn't allow for things like "When a creature joins your party" "When ~ dies, if it was a member of your party, " or "Members of your party have lifelink." They were limited to counting roles filled, but even that could have been explored in more dynamic ways than basic scaling with some bonuses for a full party. Caring if your party has other members ("If your party has two or more creatures in it, ") or more interesting cross-class encouragement ("Target creature gets +1/+1 until end of turn. if it's a Warrior, it gains lifelink until end of turn." on a Cleric or "When ~ attacks, it gains flying until end of turn if you control a Wizard." on a Rogue) may have helped. As it stands, party is quite a binary mechanic, you either want full party to maximize everything or you don't want it at all. I respect that WotC was pushing for that (much the same way Domain was intended to be maximized and encouraged five color play and didn't bother with half steps), I just think it made for a less dynamic, less interesting mechanic. I think the flavor was well-received, so hopefully they bring party back and expand on how it is explored. I fully agree. Party being so completely binary means there is no early or even mid-game advantage to running a Party deck, but at the same time there’s no real late-game advantage either because having a full party doesn’t really ever pay off. It’s just a completely failed attempt and it’s baffling to me that it was allowed to proceed this way.

Quote from beren camlost »Quote from lookingupanddown »The awkward distribution was to support the set strategies: WB Clerics, UB Rogues, RW Warriors, UR Wizards, and RG and GW Landfall. The other four will be in Kaldheim. Okay thanks man. Boy this random split was not an elegant solution. Besides, don't the other pairs also have strategies? GU kicker, BG counters-matter?
