king-saproling on First Deck

This is a great list for someone new to the game! Personally I would make these swaps:

Abbot of Keral Keep -> Hoarding Ogre
Seasoned Pyromancer -> Aurelia, the Law Above
Grand Abolisher -> Bitterthorn, Nissa's Animus
Diabolic Intent -> Glimmer Lens
Ogre-Head Helm -> Conjurer's Mantle
Dolmen Gate -> Aegis of the Legion
Relic of Legends -> Sword of the Animist

DemonDragonJ on How is the New Voja …

I know that I ask this question very frequently, but WotC continues to print cards that I feel are simply too powerful for their mana costs, and the new Voja, Jaws of the Conclave is among the newest of those cards; for five mana, the new Voja is a 5/5 creature with three keyword abilities (including ward {3}) and a powerful triggered ability, which I feel is simply too much value for such a low mana cost.

If the new Voja did not have ward, did not have its triggered ability, or cost 7 mana, I would have accepted it, but, as he currently is, he provides simply too much value for too low of a cost; I understand that some level of power creep in any game is inevitable, but this is essentially power escalation, in my mind; I can accept both Aurelia, the Law Above outclassing Serra Angel or Scourge of Valkas outclassing Shivan Dragon, because they are subtle improvements over the originals, but Voja, Jaws of the Conclave is simply ridiculous, to me.

What does everyone else say about this? How is Voja, Jaws of the Conclave remotely balanced?

There were definitely lots of cool options in this set. My one wish-list commander that we didn't get was a new Isshin that had some mechanical flavoring as a nod to Seven Samurai / The Magnificent Seven. That would have been kind of hard to do, but could have been something along the lines of Aurelia, the Law Above.

Vihaan looks pretty fun. I might just build new Olivia, since I already have a lot of the stuff for the deck between what comes in the precon, and what I already have in my collection/Prosper. I am kinda weird in that I don't necessarily like to have multiple decks that use the exact same color combos.

The commanders you all mentioned are really cool. Taii Wakeen, Perfect Shot was one of the others that really caught my eye. I'm def a sucker for commanders that kinda go against the "stereotypes" of what their color combos typically do. Taii Wakeen could be spell slinger or maybe go-wide group slug.

I'm also really stoked for Felix Five-Boots. It tempts me to dust off and re-tool my old Brokkos, Apex of Forever, as it utilized a decent chunk of combat damage based triggers.

At this rate, my only hope is for the Olivia pre-con, but I was hoping for a Seven Samurai/ The Magnificent Seven mechanically flavored Isshin card. It's admittedly a pretty narrow space to care about controlling Seven creatures in some way, but Aurelia, the Law Above gets kinda close with 5.

Idk, but just something I was hoping for in some fashion. Seven Samurai was something my dad showed me as a kid.

I have replaced The Immortal Sun with Aurelia, the Law Above, which reduced this deck's average converted mana cost from 3.90 to 3.88, because, as great as the sun was, Aurelia better fits the theme of this deck.

I have replaced Flameblade Angel with Aurelia, the Law Above, which reduced this deck's average converted mana cost from 4.10 to 4.08, because, while Flameblade Angel was a great creature, she was reactive, while Aurelia is proactive, which is better for this deck.

DemonDragonJ on How Can I Put Aurelia, …

I very much would like to put Aurelia, the Law Above into these two EDH decks, but I am not certain what cards I should remove to make room, for her.

For my Uril, the Miststalker deck, I believe that I could replace Flameblade Angel with Aurelia, because, while Flameblade Angel is an excellent card, she is reactive, while Aurelia is proactive, but my Gisela, Blade of Goldnight deck is slightly more complicated, since I am not certain which card to remove. I originally was contemplating removing Archangel of Thune, but she is too amazing to not have in this deck, so I think that I may instead remove The Immortal Sun, because, while that is an excellent card, it does not contribute to the overall theme of that deck.

What does everyone else say about this subject? How can I put Aurelia, the Law Above into those two decks?

Should I put Aurelia, the Law Above into this deck? She would be amazing, in it, but I am not certain which card, if any, I should remove to make room, for her.
