GrammarYahtzee, many players have told me that, but creatures are also easier to cheat onto the battlefield and reanimate, and they can also attack and block, which gives them far greater flexibility and versatility than what non-creature permanents have. Also, both Azure Mage and Triskaidekaphile have more lenient costs for their activated abilities than what Treasure Trove has, which may not be a major issue in a mono-blue deck, but will definitely be useful in any multicolored deck.

Azure Mage does not in any way make Treasure Trove obsolete. an enchantment is much harder to remove than a 1 toughness creature.

Personally I’m not a big fan of alternative win condition cards in EDH for the most part. Quickly comboing out the table isn’t how I want to play multiplayer magic. That said it’s very easy to interact with a small creature that needs to live until your next turn so it’s not very scary. Also I haven’t wanted to run Azure Mage in an EDH deck…I want to say ever, but maybe it happened once like 8 years ago. So no this new 13 matters card is not EDH staple material to me.

The new card Triskaidekaphile from Innistrad: Midnight Hunt is very awesome, and I predict that it will be very popular when the set is released, as it provides three excellent abilities for only two mana, and I cannot help but wonder if that is simply too much for such a low cost. However, I do not think that that card shall be banned, because it is good, but not overpowered, at least not in my mind.
Therefore, I wonder if it shall become a new staple of the EDH format, because each of its abilities is potentially very useful for it. Research has shown that having no maximum hand size, despite not appearing to be an ability that is particularly valuable, is actually very much so, as seen by Reliquary Tower and Thought Vessel being among the most popular lands and artifacts for this format. Both mana sinks and methods for drawing cards are popular in any format, so a card that provides a mana sink that draws cards should see no shortage of play. Finally, while alternate win conditions are usually a niche in any format, the alternate win condition provided by this creature is very easy to achieve, almost too easy, in my mind, which should again make it popular. Even if Triskaidekaphile does not become a new staple in EDH, it certainly has rendered Azure Mage obsolete, which itself rendered Treasure Trove obsolete.
What does everyone else say about this? Will Triskaidekaphile become a new staple in EDH?

I would add something as simple as an Azure Mage. You would only need one. This is because once you get infinite mana, you could activate Kinnan's ability infinite times, eventually hitting the mage, and then draw your deck and actually be able to pump mana into a Walking Ballista or whatever.
