The Mysterious Guide

{R}{G}{W}

Legendary Creature - Spirit Scout Champion

Whenever a nontoken creature you control with mana value 2 or less attacks or blocks, create a Map token.

At the beginning of your first main phase, if you control five or more Map tokens, you may return any number of lands you control to your hand, then put that many lands from your hand onto the battlefield.

3/4

I'm basing this card off a variety of folktales, with some inspiration from Blind Seer. The Mysterious Guide is an entity that wanders through the wild lands of (insert kingdom or region or whatever here), ensuring the safety of travelers and explorers. The Guide has some Fisher King-style influence, in that the landscape seems to change in response to their mood. The Mysterious Guide is rumored to be the ghost of a friendly hermit who bonded with the land itself, or maybe the hermit is an incredibly ancient and powerful geomancer.

If you want to build off this lore, create the character who The Mysterious Guide really is. Otherwise, create a card with the phrase "note the name of a card revealed this way".

ChaosJester on Is a color changing strategy …

I once played a Blind Seer deck and it was surprisingly powerful against my playgroup. I had to take it apart because it was too controlish. You should go for this mechanic, if you like playing jank.

Iluvmygirlfriend, thanks for your suggestions.

I have considered all of those cards, but have chosen against playing them.

King Crab is really cool, but very mana expensive, Willbreaker is just impossible to keep alive, Heartstone is a tad $ expensive, and Im not really that dependant on using Blind Seer's ability, and finally, Dismiss into Dream is a really cool card, but is a bit too mana expensive as well as making me too much of a target.

These might go in the deck at a later point, but currently I dont think they are good enough. They are however really on theme! So great job finding these suggestions for me :)

ClockworkSwordfish on Rare commander build?

EDH as a format never especially enchanted me, so more often than not the only reason I'd design a deck is around an especially odd or challenging commander.

Blind Seer is an absolute house that nobody sees coming. He turns Flash Flood, Hydroblast and Blue Elemental Blast into {2}{U} to blow up any permanent, or basically a monoblue Vindicate. Douse can likewise counter spells at will. Messing with colours completely opens up a lot of old school hosers, especially those that freely blow up permanents in mono blue. You can see the list here: Colorblind.

Another one I'm fond of is the never-seen Iname, Death Aspect, who can rather uniquely dump 30 or 40 Spirits into your graveyard all at once. From there, Living Death, Lotleth Giant or Mortal Combat can seal the deal. More of a combo deck, it doesn't have as much variety, but I guarantee it's a commander you'll never see across from you at the table. FINISH HIM

On the challenging side of things, I'm a big fan of Haakon, Stromgald Scourge. Since you literally cannot play him from the command zone, the only ways to make him accessible are Command Beacon and the more recent Netherborn Altar. You have to really jump through some hoops to get him in your graveyard where he can finally be played, but having the hurdle before his funky ability can be abused is sort of a fun game-within-a-game.

Alter Reality seems swappable since it's a very situational effect that doesn't have many uses outside a Blind Seer deck. So Cackling Counterpart can totally replace that.

I would also probably take out Artful Dodge for the Vizier since your spirits already have that needed evasion via flying.

GrimlockVIII on Favorite color or color combination?

This is kinda weird, but I really like a lot of stuff Blue has to offer in terms of creature aesthetics and non-infinite combo/solitaire strategies.

I like how a lot of the Blue Zombies like the Skaabs look like wholly different and unique abominations of science, which exist in stark contrast to the boring regular Black Zombies. One of my favorite commanders is actually Stitcher Geralf despite the fact that he's objectively not that great.

I like Mutants, I'm a big sea creature connoisseur, Moonfolk are pretty neat, Crabs are top tier, and I enjoy the versatility of Shapeshifters.

I recently watched a Deck Tech on Blind Seer , and that made me look into all the weird and obscure jank that the color has to offer.

Probably one of my favorite enchantments has to be Dismiss into Dream because it just turns every single activated ability into repeatable creature removal.

When I started playing my two first decks were and . I loved black, no question. But somehow has moved into my favourite colour without me even knowing. I already own a mono blue deck and I want to build two more with Higure, the Still Wind and Blind Seer . I guess I have an addiction to blue now even though I hate playing counter spells as removal.

You have definite legendary tribal in here, how about Time of Need ? Combos well with the overall reduction Animar offers.

Animar has pro black and white - you have blue... Why not splash in some color play? Blind Seer , for example. Sway of Illusion , Vodalian Mystic , and Tidal Visionary are a couple more good examples.

Also, you have 2 Cultivate in your mainboard.
