MTG Salvation

Yea 4-color decks need to be considered just because they are super hard deosn’t mean we won’t get them

If we get a 5-color tribe again there’s no other choice but spirit in my opinion

Sliver too many legends already and I’m willing to bet they are too scared to touch a competitive tribe in a deck for new players

Dragons, elementals, scarecrows, ally and warriors all have a perfectly good 5-color legend already

Avatar is too little support

Angels don’t have enough UG angels I know they only want 5-color angels because of Maelstrom Archangel

The only other legend that needs a better legendary tribe is atog and that’s a sticky tribe

And spirits are in all 5 colors and do have tribal support you can do tons of themes with spirits

Heck lots of spirit legendaries none of the ones with a spirit tribal ability are perfect simply due to not enough colors witch-maw is the correct color combo for a perfect spirit legend but red may be weak but it does infact have a few high power spirits

• Ryusei, the Falling Star
  
• Malignus
  
• Kurkesh, Onakke Ancient
  
• Myojin of Infinite Rage
  
• Eidolon of the Great Revel
  
• Yuki-Onna
  
• Jiwari, the Earth Aflame
  
• Skyfire Kirin
  
• Adamaro, First to Desire
  
• Patron of the Akki
  
• Ore Gorger
  
• Mannichi, the Fevered Dream
  
• Kami of Fire's Roar
  

And Glitterfang for the spirts that have a cast trigger and whenever a spirit ETB

Finally Earthshaker if a vast majority of your spirits are flyers or/and enough enchantment/artifact that gives your team flying as static

And ofcoarse the biggest reason of them all O-Kagachi, Vengeful Kami needs a way way way better card it doesn’t match the strength according to the lore and final judgement and he could have atleast gotten a spirit tribal syngery/lord or whatever ability for that tribe

I don't think busts preorder for $160-$180 for the set. Just sayin'.

Well where ever I pre-order are somewhat just conned me

Pre-ordered 153 now it magically changed to 159 (still getting the decks though because I have ammo to transfer to my current and future decks and I do want to try the naya token and sultai morph decks as well)

Now for a question does some of the stuff printed in commander 2019 foreshadow anything?

It’s planeswalker deck

The abilities are lack luster for a standard set card and the number is 304 definatly above the number and the other cards find the walker in specific only walker deck cards have those

Not sure about theme

But abzan and temur are like locks before next year even happens

I think dimir and boros is the other 2 based off maros statement on color balance

Because Izzet was last year and Azorius can’t happen because the other color combo is rakdos and that’s this year

So logically the color combo and for tribes if that’s what they are doing again

Abzan elves

Dimir rouges or fairies (but I heard fairies is getting a new color in eldraine) or and zombies

Boros would be soilder or angels (I say knight but that’s mardu needed and throne of eldraine is probably gonna take care of that requested tribe)

temur there’s no other choice but elemental perfect colors most temur legends are elementals

But bare in mind 4-color and 5 color could happen and those could be color balance

If 5 color happens again my god please give us a proper spirit tribal legend

Dude.

Cyclonic Rift is a bad example. It’s on the fence for banning as is for being casually problematic.

You literally said it

So you may want to edit your message if this is not what you meant to say

I think the point is that when the new player sits down for the first time and gets steamrolled, they're going to be unpleasantly surprised to find how exorbitant the costs can be to upgrade their deck (Cyclonic Rift is how much?!). Filling these commander products with needed reprints helps everyone trying to cultivate an EDH collection do so w/o having to apply for a line of credit. For example:

Seedborn Muse is a format staple that makes virtually every deck containing green better by its inclusion. Not long ago it was a $30 card. That's a LOT of money for a card that isn't played in any sort of competitive environment. This new reprint is preselling for under $10 and it's only going to go down.

The new player needs as many of these reprints as they can get. They don't need, nor do they want, 15 cent cards like Pristine Skywise when they're dolling out $40.

Cyclonic Rift is a bad example. It’s on the fence for banning as is for being casually problematic.

Wait wait wait

That’s a Citation needed in so many levels where’s your proof they are highly considering banning the rift?

If it was at gen con I wasn’t paying attention due to just for the preview cards
(In my defense safe bet it wasn’t just me)

Now that the decks are reveal

Is it a bust

Not even close

It may still be nothing compared to all the decks before C18 but they did much better new cards and reprints that both newbies and pro players can get

And I do want to mention the fact that they are aimed at newbies rather than pros the pro factor is changing a deck to their prospective and certain reprints

Minor prediction I think K’rrick might end up as the second mono commander to hit the 1000 zone you can easily do a quick win with him

For those still wonder here’s the answer of the lore

https://mobile.twitter.com/jay13x/status/1159486936844840960

It’s the Ula statue from Shrine of the Forsaken Gods lazy because the token should have Ben a statue not a eldrazi

Oh one bonus



I’m absolutely gonna beg the, to make this the new art for sad face from here on out this is the best art to date

Yep

https://magic.wizards.com/en/articles/archive/feature/decks-commander-2019-edition-2019-08-08

Still need to do a little better but definatly better than last year

Oh and for the madness deck planeswalker it’s Ob Nixilis Reignited

madness deck gets sanctum of eternity aka the next command beacon

The first ever black card that can remove enchantments and maro said they are gonna start doing cards like this for black

Nice start even though they could easily have a creature

That parley card is quite fun in ixalan nice way to steal big beefy creatures from yards

And I’m sure some of you are wishing the necromancer is a wizard for inalla don’t blame ya
