LOL. If you can get time stretch lon top and have a sac outlet, this is brainstorm, plus two turns, plus 10 to their dome for 6 mana. Christmasland? sure, but this card has a very high ceiling.
UB Extra Turns seems like a good commander. Or you could play it in Yuriko and do things that way with Ninja tribal.
Worse in standard, but maybe it could find a home in control simply by virtue of being a 5/4 body with Brainstorm.
Elspeth hit her with the back end (the pommel) of her sword, she didn't pierce her.
"she drives the pommel of her golden sword INTO the back of Nissa's head"
A weapon inside another person's head, regardless of sharpness, usually means death. Maybe I read it too literally?
Too literally. The amount of force it would take to drive a blunt round object like a pommel into someone's skull would leave them without a good chunk of their skull.
The implication coming into March was that there was only a couple thousand Mirrans left alive before this started, and they lost even more through the current set. Not unreasonable to suggest that there may only be hundreds of Mirrans left alive when all is said and done.
Heliod being killed within a sentence is just rough, and while Kaya is a skill ghost-killer she was also facing a god, something that stays alive by the power of its followers. Making Theron gods so vulnerable to one mortal, a cut on their "ethereal" throat, is just... I don't know, lame? It's like how Ob Nixilis just swoop in on Capenna and suddenly defeated all five families with ease.
And where's Caberetti?
Being the smartest Phyrexian, Jin certainly picked the worst time to rebel. Plot armor much?
Elspeth pierced Nissa's head from behind, that'd kill most phyrexians on the spot, and somehow she was alive for days to be cured? I suspect this is WotC's compensation for killing Chandra-Nissa relationship, back in the days when the company had less courage.
Melira, being the cure and prevention of Phyresis, never had any chance to shine until her death. You'd think with all the invention rebels came up with they would've alchemically create a cure out of her now. Admittedly, I find it poetic that Karn gave up his spark on Zhalfir and will resides there, a plane from the first invasion with his best friend. We just need Jhoira there.
As much as I'm happy to see Ajani alive and well, it does the story a disservice, much like how DC/Marvel kills off characters but always revive them, readers will stop feeling for the loss.
WotC should stop building climaxes for a set then end it with such luke warm finale.

Sauron being a 4/4 bugs me. Isn't he supposed to be a massive battlefield threat?
Also, he actively loses in combat to Teysa Karlov... a lawyer with a bad leg. Lawayers canonically greater that the Dark Lord of Ultimate Evil. Take that Tolkien.
She's... actually really good in Legacy with original print Lost Soul. In addition to one of my favorite flavor texts, it's also 1BB for +38/+38 until end of turn.
"She walks in the twilight, her steps make no sound
her feet leaves no tracks on the dew covered ground
her hand gently beckons, she whispers your name
but those who go with her are never the same."
There's a real haves/have nots of this round of decks.

"The number you are trying to reach has crashed into a planet, please make a note of it."
Ah, my mistake. That's quite a bit worse.
