Far Traveler

Legendary Enchantment — Background

Commander creatures you own have "At the beginning of your end step, exile up to one target tapped creature you control, then return it to the battlefield under its owner's control."

Welcome to the club, bfroese90!

What's the intent of Ephemerate, Felidar Guardian, Far Traveler, and all those cards? You don't have a lot of your own creatures to blink, and most of these return the creature to its owner's control, not its controller's.

Unfortunately no, this won't work. When an object changes zones the game treats it as a new object with no relation to what it was before. There are a few exceptions for things needed to make certain effects work properly, but none of those exceptions help here. After Far Traveler's trigger resolves, the Obzedat trigger still on the stack will be referring to the "old" Obzedat that created it and can't do anything with the "new" Obzedat that just came back.

If I have Obzedat, Ghost Council and Far Traveler on the battlefield and I move to my end step, can I stack the effects so that Obzedat, Ghost Council leaves play from Far Traveler's effect, comes back then leaves again due to it's own effect?

Thanks for your comment Ferrahk, maybe I should edit the description because now I am reading it maybe it is confusing. Far Traveler is in the deck to blink Vishgraz, the Doomhive or Ichor Rats, to protect another creature after attack thanks to the ability of Saryth, the Viper's Fang, and because it is an enchantment so you would have more options to draw when Atraxa ETB. I tried to have almost 10 cards of each type to help with the draw trigger but maybe is one of the easy cuts for one of the Maybeboard. Thanks for the question though.

Excalibur478 Thanks! I'm really glad you like the deck, a friend of mine used to play a Brago deck years ago and I remember I hated playing against it, so I really tried to make something more interesting lol

I haven't playtested this one that much yet, but the weakest aspect is definitely closing out the game. Currently the main wincon is token generation with Blessed Sanctuary, Myr Battlesphere, Abdel Adrian, Gorion's Ward, Whirler Rogue, Blade Splicer and Pegasus Guardian, but I found that it's actually pretty slow. Approach of the Second Sun is a good backup wincon, but it paints a huge target on your back so it's better if you can redraw it quickly or lock down the board, and the deck is quite good at both os those things.

The deck can't protect the board very well against wipes, only having Eerie Interlude as protection or maybe a counterspell, but it can rebuild pretty consistently after one given how much card advantage it can generate.

Getting creatures tapped so Far Traveler can blink them isn't really an issue but can be a problem sometimes, so I've been thinking about adding more tap effects, although this can also be solved by breaking the budget a bit and adding more blink enablers like Conjurer's Closet

Thanks again for the comment and the upvote! If you have any more questions or maybe some suggestions, I'm all ears :)

I think Volo, Itinerant Scholar with Far Traveler would get the blink fun for you without the gigantic target on your head with Brago, King Eternal as your commander.
