How do you like Balan?
Im playing 8 1/2 Tails for quite some time and was thinking about switching Commanders.
Not sure if Sram, Balan or maybe some other colors.
What am I missing here?
Drifting Meadow -> Desert of the True
Haven't had a lot of games recently, but I love what Balan, Wandering Knight does. Dodging equip costs is a powerful effect and the built-in double strike makes her a scary, quick clock.
I'm in the process of foiling this deck out and Drifting Meadow isn't available in foil.
I'm starting to dislike seeing every member of the Gatewatch collectively showing up every block. It made sense with the Eldrazi, but now I would like to see them allocate 1-3 members per case.
And they really need to have Jace take a break from the action. I find it rather ridiculous that the central figure of an entire plane's government is constantly absent from his duties.
