Honestly, my $0.2, tutor commanders are kinda bleh. Sliver Hive lord is a solid 'creature type' (cheaper?) Commander that enables a lot of fun interactions. But that means, don't build a typical 'sliver' deck. Notable exceptions, the mana slivers and harmonic.
5/5 indestructible that can make all your dudes (that you change types at will) indestructible as well is pretty decent. Keeps the jank flowing.
Op or anyone capable could you make a list or even a chart if possible of all the suggestions?
I'm on mobile so my apologies, I'll fix it when I can.
I'll try and keep it to cards that haven't had a recent reprint.
Yeah, there seems to be alot of narrow cards in this one. I also forgot Rhythm of the Wild thats the best haste enabler ive seen since Temur Ascendancy and etb trigger counters, pretty deece.
Now that the full set is spolied, whats peoples first impressions?
Sleeper hit or total snoozefest?
I'm not all that hyped like I was for Guilds of Ravnica. There is very few standing out like wow this could be fun.
Guilds gave us
Im liking it too, but still think its a tad slow in this type of deck. Aristocrats for sure, the wait: tap is killer in an aggro shell of this deck. Also good for Combo/value for sure.
Emmara Tandis just nope. 7 cmc? For that effect... Teysa, Envoy of Ghosts also 7 cmc...5 would of been nice with less pwr/toughness
Licia has been mentioned, Ludvic is prime offender no. 1 of this.
I still like her but Anya, Merciless Angel isnt all that merciless and another Booros flop, there have been many.
To be fair, everyone of those would work and I would pick which one you like the most.
Kruphix is best when you have alot of mana plus stuff like Seedborn Muse, bank all that stuff to keep mana open to protect your beasts
Vorel is cool, but you need the hydra out, it needs to survive and really only need just 1 big fat trampler. But it can double other stuff as well, so its focus can be broadened to stuff like Lux Cannon.
Zegana, good choice but high cmc, draws you cards but again only with a decent sized creature out, else it falls flat on its face. If there is alot of creature control then this would not be great, niether would be smashing in with hydras though.
Tatyova seems like goodstuff to me, you get to draw cards off her ramp spells, ok. Draw and ramp are necessary, seems boring to me. 5 cmc being a bit high because you would be ramping into that! Still good though.
Arimexthese(or however its spelt) is legit, its always going to ramp you from 4 to 6 (7, if you hit land drop) but can get wastelanded, ghost quartered ect. if there are no other threatning lands like coffers/cradle.
All things equal id go with the ramp commander. Draw is not a problem in simic, and better to have a reliable ramp commander and reliable draw spells than anything situational. And lower cmc is great. Works well with Kiora's Follower and such.
Funny, was working on a similar decklist for Jodah. One weakness I forsee is having all those big spells/creatures. So I made sure to include all these
This was in addition the basic ramp of Birds, Sol Ring, Farseek, ect. Think the deck was 15 ramp style/cheater cards.
Here is a budget decklist by Commanders Quarters: https://youtu.be/8wYl97kx75k
They also did an upgrade list, worth checking out.
Smothering Tithe seems like a decent ramp spell, with artifacts going to grave other silliness can ensue.
Me, im putting it next to Armageddon in Boros MLD.
But for more casual crowds, with Trading Post seems decent too. Add a Dross Scorpion and you got a bad draw engine.
Still the card Im most excited for is Growth Spiral, pick up 4x Foils of those.
Next would be Teysa 3.0. Another great Aristocrats commander or in the 99.
Sure does look like Dig, but the question remains, Why the @#$% didnt they use the new awesome art? Another UMA fail.
MM17 > UMA aka Should of been M25

...will update and add as I think of more. Bored, killing time with what I can.
Reflecting Pool is creeping back up
Reconnaissance
Rise of the Dark Realms
Personal Tutor (it's mediocre but playable, print it)
Three Visits
It is a common...to make that worse.
Also, always pay 1.
Have been really fun.

Geeze the list goes on and on
Allegiance so far
And the mill guys Persistent Petitioners...
To me, set seems lacklustre as a whole compared to Guilds
Teysa, Envoy of Ghosts also 7 cmc...5 would of been nice with less pwr/toughness
