Yes I know about Heartless Hidetsugu. The groups I play with frown on combo wins. That's why I didn't include him. Come to think of it maybe that means I should take out Repercussion. Maybe.
I was thinking drawing a damage doubler might feel bad, because I'd rather draw more burn. You very easily could be right about that. I could be wrong. Maybe drawing too many of them would be bad, but having like only a couple in the deck would be good.
Sundering Stroke Myojin of Roaring Blades
I discovered these two. Deal 7 to three targets sounds nice. I think I'd have to cut low end of mana curve. Not so good, but ok.
-Harsh Mentor
-Sensei's Divining Top
Also cut Thought Vessel for Star Compass, because it matters for Sundering Stroke now. I'm not cutting Ruby Medallion. It still is too good with other cards.
Just a deck idea I've been tuning the last couple of days. I wanted to write it down somewhere before I forget it. Maybe somebody else might benefit from the info too? Along that line of thought, discussion is also welcome of course. Maybe I'll splurge and try it out at lgs.
Nice article. I was sleeping on Baleful Mastery, but you made some good points. I'll be adding it to my cube.
Are there any cards you like from Commander 2021? I can see why you might not include them in this article. They are not actually in Strixhaven. Still would value your opinion.
So it's like Thriving Grove, but snow instead of green. That's interesting. Do you think this might still be worth it to swap? I'm thinking, because it's more obvious that it's not just for green decks.
Yikes, GOAT of Magic sets or what? It's going to take me forever to figure out which cards to include. As always thanks for the write up. I hold off on looking at new sets until you post these reviews.
Thanks again. This article is preview season for me. Keep it up.
I think I'm going to go with just Pheonix of Ash, but you've definitely got me thinking about other cards too.
Also want to try out -Lightning Bolt +Repeated Reverberation
Hey nobody told me Howl of the Horde was a thing. So yeah rather have that than Repeated Reverberation. Swap

Glacial Chasm is an amazing idea!

Pest Infestation seems much better than Reclamation Sage. Awesome!
Maybe there's an artifact I could do without if I wanted Triplicate Titan.
All and all Commander 2021 seems pretty cool.
