War of the Spark Full Reveal —April 24, 2019

Two more WAR cards caught my eye now that the full set has been spoiled, and they are Command the Dreadhorde and Despark. Since most removal-necessary targets in EDH are 4 CMC or greater, Despark will probably replace Utter End. However, some metas have a lot more <4 CMC things that need killing, so play it at your own discretion. Command is a very powerful way to recur anything we need from our graveyard, especially since our average creature CMC is quite low. I will try to find a place for it.

P.S. If you start finding a lot of planeswalkers in your playgroup, run The Elderspell.

EDIT: Took out Nether Traitor for Command. Traitor was a tough cut, but ultimately I found it to be a bit redundant. In metas with more disruption, I'd keep it in. We'll see how it goes.

@Drtongue: Maybe I'm mistaken but doesn't Night Incarnate trigger just once, as it is a "leaves the battlefield" not a "creature dying" effect?

phsycord As stated by the official gatherer: "An ability that triggers when a creature 'leaves the battlefield' will trigger twice if that creature leaves the battlefield by dying." Teysa doesn't care how the ability is worded as long as it's triggered by a creature dying, so Night Incarnate 's ability would trigger twice if Teysa's on the field. If you have any other rules questions, the primer has an Ability Rulings section which covers all the other shenanigans we can get away with.

sub780lime Apologies for the late reply, but I can assure you that the deck is very fun. Thanks for the compliment!

Nice thank you!

I'd appreciate it if you'd like to post your thoughts on my own Teysa Karlov Aristocrats deck, where I'm aiming for a lower cost cmc than your deck, trying to combo off using Blasting Station or Drain effects
