I know people are complaining about partner and plabeswalker commanders, but I am really excited for this set. The drafting aspect with weird partners sounds super cool, and I think it will be a fun way for some EDH players to break out of their usual habits of playing overpowered cEDH stuff as well as their typical strategies and instead play some weird decks.
As for Partner returning, I have mixed feelings as I know how busted some of the old combinations are, but I also know how fun it is to mix and match partners to make some fun and wonky combinations. I guess I choose to not play cEDH so I get to avoid the really dreadful partner combos.
Also, did someone mention that they were also releasing Commander Precons with this set? Or was that just speculation?
Yes. There are Precons. In the vein of the Zendikar Rising ones. Only like three exclusive cards.
How is prismatic Piper Color identity gonna work outside draft And in regular commander
couldn’t you just say any color at any time each game You made it esper with the piper and Ishai, Ojutai Dragonspeaker
But yet you can switch it to jeskai and bant Before each game
I mean as long as you have a package of cards to make your deck legal when you play it. If you have Ishai and Piper and, at the start of the game, call piper black and then are playing red cards then you’re cheating. But it could be cool to have like a deck skeleton that is one or two colors then packages based on what color you want to play.
I wasn’t playing when Original Zendikar Block came out but I’ve always seen The Roil as Zendikars defining feature not the Eldrazi. It’s greatest facet has been that it, more than any other plane, is it’s own living actor. But in BFZ block we learned that the roil was basically an immune reaction to the eldrazi being sealed there. So what happens to Zendikar now? Emeria comes crashing to the ground? The weather becomes even more volatile as the plane itself adjusts to a new norm? And now all of its denizens have to as well. And here comes Nissa, the person most suited to lead that adjustment because she’s literally it’s best friend.
Also we’ve been gone from Zendikar for coming up on a year(in universe) now? And without their parent eldrazi there empowering them and refreshing their numbers of course Munda and Tazri are eliminating the spawn. Also The people of Zendikar need to learn that their hero is dead, which is probably one of the reasons Jace is there.
Oh I'm aware I just put it there because the hype was real when it was reprinted in battlebond since it was 15 before that time
So we never have to worry about that ever again with 2 reprints
... it’s got four printings before this? I know it was a little pricey before battlebond but none of that changes that it’s not great now. Maybe we’ll get an equipment one and see Puresteel Paladin get a reprint. Now that would be the sort of juicy reprint white deserves.

Tree of Redemption would like a word with you regarding title of worst reprint of all time. Lol

At least this will put more copies of Terror of the Peaks in circulation so it’ll be cheap to get for the Ur-Dragon.
Congrats? Other people were talking about it coming to historic tho so maybe my post wasn’t for you.
