Passionate Archaeologist

Legendary Enchantment — Background

Commander creatures you own have "Whenever you cast a spell from exile, this creature deals damage equal to that spell's converted mana cost/mana value to target opponent."

I legit forgot about "choose creature type" aspect of "Throne."

However, I also have it in 99 of my Durnan of the Yawning Portalfoil // Passionate Archaeologistfoil deck.

It is awkward but the way I see it, it's an equipment card w/o having to equip.

m_tironi: The M15 border of Passionate Archaeologist only exists in foil when looking at storefronts, so the site is correct. The extended art of Passionate Archaeologistfoil is available on storefronts as normal/foil and the site has correctly marked them. Both show correctly in the text deck edit card search.

The bugs are to do with the portrayal of these in the deck itself and in this very comment, as it doesn't seem to be properly labelling the treatment. If you notice any others like this let us know.

Borderless Passionate Archaeologist isn't showing the selected Nonfoil option "Normal Treatment" once in the deck page, but always only Foil.

Passionate Archaeologist comes in both Foil and Nonfoil version:

Even outside of kindred decks, Roaming Throne is worth considering for non-blue trigger commanders who always wanted a Spark Double. Special mention goes to backgrounds like Passionate Archaeologist, because they work by giving your commander the ability rather than triggering on their own.

Underrated commanders. Very fun.

Passionate Archaeologist works for all spells, so perhaps if you want to add more draw later you could consider Visions of Phyrexia, Outpost Siege, and Urabrask, Heretic Praetor. Green has tons of draw these days, but having a few effects that impulse-draw might be worth it. Reckless Impulse and Wrenn's Resolve are very efficient too.

This looks awesome, very cool! Thoughts on Passionate Archaeologist? I realize it can hurt you really bad if you happen to exile it with Jeff, but then again, having it in play seems pretty damn powerful.

This is a very cool list, I really like the idea here. I also have some suggestions for you:

Syr Carah, the Bold could be additional card draw for you. Passionate Archaeologist will be a constant source of damage. Tavern Brawler and Outpost Siege draw additional cards.

You already have Blazing Sunsteel + Brash Taunter/Stuffy Doll, so that's an infinite combo you can use to win. Coalhauler Swine is another "masochist" creature. Chain of Plasma can turn your hand into fuel, and the empty hand is something you could utilize via Ghirapur Orrery. One final creature to include is Stormwild Capridor.

I was using Chrome and I checked it on Edge too. I have to take the browser out of full screen and make it a narrow window to be able to see everything.

Those are the all-in combo decks that I uploaded and think that the combo scores are low on. Additionally I'm really not sure what significance meta share has on weighing the salt of combos. To my mind Eternal Scourge+Food Chain (with a not included in the list Chulane) at adding 5 points would be the same level of salt from people as Chulane, Teller of Tales + Overburden + Shrieking Drake which is only adding 0.6. Both are infinite draw into a Thoracle. If anything an Overburden out for a turn cycle makes people saltier about the game when you spread the combo pieces over two turns.

Is the one that was including the non-existent Passionate Archaeologist in the Aggravated Assault combos. Though now the Aggravated Assault combos aren't showing at all. I looked at the combos on this non-combo deck since it was displaying as higher than the Chulane deck.
