This is going to be the most built Boros Legendary in a month.
A month from now, not a month after release.
Honestly as hype as I am for this card I don't know if I agree.
EDH Spikes will still want OG Aurelia. Same with Timmys, except with additional competition from Gisela. Johnnys have Firesong and Sunspeaker to have fun with.
Feather as a commander is for players who want to derp in a still-weak color combo. I'm sure there's a hundred silly things you can do with her swinging a Sunforger (and I plan on trying them all) but I'm interested to see at the end of the year how many players will stick with playing non-Aurelia Boros.
Though I really don't want another return trip after spending a year in Ravnica, there are a lot of clues that lead me to believe that we're going back to Theros in October. Feather is obscenely good in a heroic deck, not to mention Tenth District Legionnaire and Defiant Strike. Perhaps, after the defeat of Bolas, we're gonna to rescue Elspeth from Theros's underworld.

Can you name all of the creature types with at least 20 cards? Try my Sporcle Quiz! Last Updated: 6/29/20 (Core Set 2021).
Following the Boros Sucks thread where the lack of a great RW commander was discussed in lenght, we can finaly rejoice that this issue has been at last resolved by WotC!
Thanks for listening, Wizards! Although, the card had already been designed prior to the thread, but hey, thanks anyway!
So I guess this goes arbitrarily large with Karn's Temporal Sundering although I'm not sure that matters. lol
Would this work? Does it only matter if the card gets exiled, or does Feather's effect have to be the one doing the exiling?
I'm not 100%. I know there is some weird rule regarding it not mattering what source put a card in exile as long as it still ends up there, but I'm not sure if that is applicable in this case.
It doesn't work. Karn's Temporal Sundering exiles itself prior to resolution. Feather the redeemed has the stipulation that it must be exiled to its replacment ability in order for it to work.
That's due to the "if you do", I presume?
Correct. Since Karn's Temporal Sundering exiles itself as part of its effect, it isn't around when Feather's replacement effect checks to see if it's put in your graveyard or not (per Eli Shiffrin).
Feather's replacement effect DOES work with flashback, however, since a spell cast with flashback is exiled if it would go anywhere else after it resolves, and you can choose to apply Feather's replacement effect to it. This basically means your spells with flashback have auto-buyback.

We are not. But in the winter, that's still possible.
I was always thinkin Feather was female. The mouth looks like a nustache.
But biggest question: Why is FEATHER any less than Mythic Rare ??
Don't look a gift horse in the mouth.
Rare only means there will be more Feathers for all at a lower cost, which given this cards ability, plus the fact it is Feather probably means she will be one of the more expensive rares in the set.
When it first comes out maybe. People will hype over it. After about 2 weeks it'll be $0.49 on cardkingdom

I kinda figured, but its good for confirmation. Thanks.
Does it work with Revival // Revenge ? Iirc, "controls" means the card is on the bf ?
This won't work. You only "control" permanents on the battlefield and spells on the stack, and also a creature is only referred to as a "creature" when it's on the battlefield (it's a creature spell on the stack and a creature card everywhere else).
Super nice card. I am finally down to build Boros. How does she interact with Flashback? Can she get flashbacked spells back to our hand?
This works with flashback spells. If you cast a spell with flashback, it has a replacement effect that tries to exile it instead of putting it anywhere else. Feather also sets up a replacement effect that exiles, so you can choose to apply Feather's replacement effect instead of flashback's. Flashback will then see that the spell is going to exile, be happy, and not care that Feather returns the card to your hand later on.
Very happy she got a print!
Would have preferred if she just regrew bolts and lava coils and stuff though.
I guess she can bring back targeted pump spells, which is something.

The "Crazy One", playing casual magic and occasionally dipping his toes into regular play since 1994.
Currently focusing on Pre-Modern (Mono-Black Discard Control) and Modern (Azorious Control, Temur Rhinos).
Find me at the Wizard's Tower in Ottawa every second Saturday afternoons.
Actually the more I think about it I think this would be a good card for Jeskai control. Think about it, at nine mana you can Time Wipe every turn. And post board Essence Capture every turn.
Time Wipe does not target. It would be a terrible board wipe if it did.
That's too bad. It would probably be a broken board wipe if it did then because of Feather then.
No, it would be a complete and utter piece of trash board wipe because your opponent would be able to fizzle it.
Well thats is wotc redemption after more than 10 years of not doing a Feather cards
The card is good, very good. Alot of potential in it, if you are playing her in jeskai (for commnander/modern) then you have acess to Sage of Hours and can potentially go really easy on a one trip to "infinite turns land".
Only thing i think is strange is the art, because of her mouth the face looks weird. But all in all really nice to see her commanding the host of angels.
jeez. i read this, looked at stats and yeah, colored triple cost, 5 mana, sure... wait, where's that 2... there's no number here. tis on curve and a plus, **** me. one mana repetable boost draw HOLY ****!
Several hours before I thought to myself... that the only thing that can ruin Feather getting a card for me would be her getting an ugly art,like something spiky, angular, spread-eagled from Wayne Reynolds.
And here we are...
I got the feeling that this is going to be one of the most heavily customized cards in the future. People are going to love the card, but hate the artwork. On the plus side, there are going to be a lot of commissions, so that's good for artists.

In a bit of a flavor fail, one of the best cards to pair with feather in standard is Snapcaster Zombie. He gets back any cantrips that did go to the bin and the timing lines up to bring that spell back with Feather's ability.

She was challenged and imprisoned by Aurelia, before sort of being freed by Krenko.

Buuuuuut....CURSE YOU WAYNE REYNOLDS!
Huh...and now that both Feather and Aurelia are on the air, they will fight again for the Boros leadership?
Hopefully not right now. They have bigger problems to worry about.
