The Tier List

Oathbreaker forum

  • Let's face it, The Tier List I made could use some work.
  • Many of you have probably never seen it. It's the one that is updated with each subsequent magic set.
  • I am but one young, small, manly child. I cannot maintain the list without help.
  • Even the EDH Commander Tier List has multiple users contributing and maintaining it.
  • I invite you all to view the deck's page and join the linked discord where you can contribute to discussion, and depending on your level of involvement in the community, you will become one of my very bested friends whom I will share the deck with.
  • Oh yeah, and the grading rubric is going to be released soon. Thought you guys might want to see that eventually.

I have no firsthand experience with this particular commander, but I think that Narset, Parter of Veils + Windfall is competitive. Again, just a guess. Also, Huatli, Radiant Champion in the right deck can emblem the turn after you play her. That's got to count for something. One last comment: Will and Rowan can be played as partner commanders, so if Will is competitive, so is Rowan.

  • I didn't necessarily make this forum post to be a place for discussion, but I will acknowledge what you are saying and try my best to explain my thought process.
  • Firstly, you are comparing Narset Windfall to other oathbreaker strategies that can win outright without the need to draw into their wincon.
  • I'm referring to things such as Ral Reverberate and Freyalise Tokens.
  • The strategy itself is most effective early game, but it is also a bad idea to go for the main strat early game as your opponent's will have the chance to develop and control you when it matters. For this reason, you need to control the board until you have the proper mana, which gives your opponent's time to develop. It's a double-edged sword.
  • Narset Windfall is competitive like Kaalia of the Vast is competitive. Very good commanders until they are murdered.
  • As for Will Kenrith and Rowan Kenrith : they can't very well be treated as the same tier, as one is objectively better than the other and they are two separate planeswalkers.
  • If you are playing partnered Kenriths, you are most likely to play Will first because his abilities are better and directly work to play Rowan easier.

  • You got me on Huatli, though. I don't know why I put that in casual.

  • Hope those are adequate explanations.
