Consult the Spirits

Instant

You lose 1 life and Scry 1. If you cast ~ from the graveyard, instead, you may return a creature card from your graveyard to your hand. If you cast this spell from exile, you may put a creature from your hand, graveyard or from exile onto the battlefield with a Finality Counter on it.

Flashback:

You may cast ~ from exile by sacrificing a creature and paying

"One finger to ask, a hand to beckon, then a body to inhabit."


Create a card that supports two Tribes, but from different angles!

I have a few of those, I cycle them every so often on here. Best examples are probably:

Muldrotha, the Gravetide gives Elves help with recursion when I inevitably overextend, instead of leading a more traditionally graveyard-focused deck.

Enchantments (not Auras) that literally doesn't have a dedicated commander, just a placeholder until something good shows up.

I was kind of surprised that Temur Goad is so underdeveloped. There's only four decks with those two hubs on here in any format. Xyris, the Writhing Storm's the commander there.

If I think I can find a way to make something work in unusual colors or strategies, I'm probably going to try. It fails a lot more than it succeeds, but the fun is in the attempt. I tend to build decks and fit the commander to the deck instead of choosing a legendary creature and building around that, so a lot of the time the commander's simply the best available option.

Coward_Token on Mark Rosewater Considers the Fetchlands …

2 weeks ago

Similarly to FormOverFunction, I feel fetchlands are just one mana fixing mistake among many.

For EDH in particular, I think it's kinda perverse that they and their ilk make it so that for commmander cards, it's pretty much always a good thing to have more colors rather than less, because it gives a wider access to a goodstuff card pool in the 99 with little drawback.

Runebound War Elk Artifact - Vehicle Mount

Saddle 1

Crew 2

You may only activate Runebound War Elk's Crew ability or Saddle ability each turn, not both.

When Runebound War Elk becomes Crewed, it gains haste and "Whenever this creature deals combat damage to a player, you may exile the top card of your library. You may play it this turn." until end of turn.

When Runebound War Elk becomes Saddled, it becomes a creature until end of turn and gains Vigilance and "When this creature becomes saddled, put a +1/+1 counter on each creature that saddled it." until end of turn.

4/4


Design a card that has different effects depending on whether it was cast from your hand, graveyard, exile, or library. You don’t need to cover every zone — just at least two distinct ones with meaningful mechanical differences.

Motor-Tank

Artifact- Vehicle

Crew 3, Saddle 2

If ~ isn't saddled, it has trample. Otherwise it is a 2/2 creature with persist in addition to its other types.

When ~ does combat damage to a player, do 1 damage to target creature

5/3


You either have Juggernaut or Lesser Masticore depending on what you invest in Motor-Tank. Very fun challenge, repeat!

Hello! have you ever taken a commander and build the whole deck with another idea that wasnt "ideal" ? im interested in commander made into aura decks or landfall decks when the actual commander has nothing to do with that at all but the deck is so adapted that it actually works. Tell me :D

Tidefire Ravager

Creature - Elemental Shaman

When Tidefire Ravager enters the battlefield, for each blue mana spent to cast it, scry 1. For each red mana spent to cast it, it deals 1 damage to any target.

3/3


Make a Vehicle that is also a Mount. The Saddle ability also makes it a Creature until end of turn. Have it get a different ability depending on if it was Crewed or Saddled. It can only be crewed or saddled each turn, not both.

legendofa on Pauper Dragons

Yeah, Sword Coast Serpent is really good for that. If it's working, keep it.

I learned not to rely too much on the Orbs. They're a strong supplement, but the deck doesn't shut down if they go away. More like an extra bonus than a key part of the deck. I might end up cutting them down further or sideboarding them, but so far they've been okay.

ChaseyK on Pauper Dragons

legendofa, I like Sword Coast Serpent a lot as both a tempo option and as a way to break through stalled boards (I play against a lot of White Weenie.) Dirgur Island Dragon has been less useful, but I do appreciate its flexibility. I could see swapping it with either more Fang Dragon or Avenging Hunter.

I'm not sure I'd want to cut blue completely (I find the counterspells quite useful, and cards like Sagu Wildling and Patron of the Arts make it really easy to get that blue mana), but looking over your list, I think you probably have better consistency. Though I have not had much success when I tried the orbs and globes you're using. They're just a bit too slow and there's enough artifact hate in the format that I don't often see their value.

FistofPickCity sorry for the long delay, I've been lazy with updating lists. I will get it updated soon though. Glad to hear you like the list and a big kamahl fan in general.

FistofPickCity on Om Nom Trample

I've been lurking on this list for a long time. I'm patiently waiting for an update....less patient now that I finally commented. I have a similar list, thanks to inspiration from you. (Favorite character from back when was Kamahl). What's your thoughts on Lifestream's Blessing over Return of the Wildspeaker?

legendofa on Pauper Dragons

2 weeks ago

How are the blue dragons working for you? In testing my Pauper Dragons deck, it felt like they didn't help me that much, and I ended up cutting blue completely. Good creatures, lackluster tempo Adventures. But the Masked Vandal is a great inclusion; I'm going to have to add that into mine.

Nice build, +1. Maybe Wizards ought to retcon the Eldrazi lore and reprint Imprisoned in the Collection Binder.

FormOverFunction on Mark Rosewater Considers the Fetchlands …

I do like the idea of a non-basic-only evolving wilds!!

Balaam__ on No

@PrincessOfFriendship I was going to dismiss the idea because I happened to look at the Nemesis printing first and it doesn’t mention anything about “can’t”, but a quick cross reference shows the other printings do indeed use the forbidden word in parentheticals when defining the Flying ability.

I’ll maybeboard it so I remember it exists, but for now I’m leaning toward it being just a touch too costly to cast to really be able to take advantage of the ‘skip combat’ benefit. I do appreciate the input, as always!

PrincessOfFriendship on No

Have you thought about Blinding Angel? If it hits your opponent they skip their combat next turn.

Teferi, Who Slows the Sunset yet another untapper, ultimate shouldn't be too hard to achieve. Probably worth looking into planeswalkers in general.

I'll try to shut up now.

Minamo, School at Water's Edge utility land that taps for colored mana and enters untapped

Manifold Key strictly better Voltaic Key (both are OK)

Aphetto Alchemist & Voltaic Servant cheap repeatable free untappers

For tapping, obviously keep an eye on the Planets and cheaper Spacecraft as they use counters and can give value. (Only at sorcery speed tho.) Scryfall link

Vehicles for crew-tapping whenever:

Mothdust Changeling is pretty much the same as Voyager Glidecar

Prosper of Hailfire

Creature - Demon

When Prosper of Hailfire enters, it deals 2 damage divided as you choose among any number of targets equal to the amount of paid to cast it.

When Prosper of Hailfire enters, exile target nonland permanent with mana value equal to or less than the amount of paid to cast it.

3/4


Make another hybrid-mana creature with an ETB trigger based on how much mana was paid for each color

DJST0RM on Hiding cards from analytics

2 weeks ago

It would be very useful if there were a way (perhaps some tag that could be put after cards in the deckbuilder) that could hide a card from the color pie and CMC curve calculations.

This is useful because I want the color pie to act as a tool so I can see if my mana base matches well, but cards I will never play for mana (eg. Gitaxian Probe or Street Wraith) pollute the data (and similarly for CMC curve).

Not sure how hard this would be to add, but it would be lovely to see something like this.

DryadArborGoesInCreaturePile on Pauper Splice Tide

Adversarial, this list is a meta deck. While I can admit I should be running a playset of Snap for graveyard hate matchups you can still churn through your entire deck until you find your combo pieces for a win on turn 3-4, then you can Deep Analysis your opponent to deck them. Playtest it yourself if you don't believe me. Merchant Scroll also tutors for Dizzy Spell which tutors for Stream of Thought. And the copies of Psychic Puppetry splice onto almost every draw spell, meaning your netting like 3 mana every time you cast an Ideas Unbound to keep digging on your big combo turn. Though when you can put your entire deck in your hand it doesn't really matter.

My brother runs this commander and as much as I hate this commander I absolutely love this commander! Ill be all happy to get a kill spell just for him to Timely Ward/Not Dead After All keeping her alive and adding more auras for more drain/gain. +1 happy brewing!

SufferFromEDHD on Perpetual Patterns of Proliferated Prosperity

Yooo I missed that Goblin Bomb haha this deck has so much potential. Staying with the OG theme... Mind Over Matter if this can't accomplish what the deck needs nothing will!

Trickster Mage mini Mind Over Matter

Tidal Bore weak one shot Mind Over Matter

Orim's Cure/Sivvi's Valor not as good as previous suggestions but on theme with narrow potential

Retreat to Coralhelm consistent land drops consistent triggers

Some good spitballs in there Coward_Token Drumbellower is such a pushed new card. Slow vigilance. Stinging Lionfish is the perfect 2 drop for this.

Brand of Kalom

Enchantment - Aura

When ~ enters, tap enchanted creature.

At the beginning of your next upkeep, exile the creature ~ is attached to. If the enchanted creature is legendary, return it to the battlefield under your control. Its owner gains control of it at the beginning of the next endstep

The brand weighs heavy on the wearer, only the strongest of wills can push through


I've been throwing around the idea of a red/white, non-black demon for a while. Make a non-black demon. (it doesn't have to be red/white specifically)

DemonDragonJ on Mark Rosewater Considers the Fetchlands …

2 weeks ago

Here is further commentary from Mark Rosewater about the fetchlands, saying that it is very unlikely that those lands shall ever again be in the same standard environment as the shocklands, and I actually agree with that idea, although I still say that efficient mana bases are better than being mana-screwed.

shadow63, fetchlands that can find only basic lands already exist, so why not have fetchlands that can find non-basic lands, as well?

**I've been attempting to expand my wine business in my hometown in White Plains. For the past 7 years I do play the lottery in my spare time, but on this blessed day I came across an article about Lord Meduza's spell to win the lottery. I contacted Lord Meduza to see if it would work and after I agreed to his terms and conditions for completing the task for me, he performed his magical powers for me and within 48 hours, he provided me with the numbers I needed to play the lottery and I followed his directions. I found out at the store that I was the winner of a $105 million jackpot. For a moment I felt uncertain but I looked again and I saw it was real. As I speak to you, My level has been elevated from grass to grace and I've come to know that life is more spiritual and with the Lord Meduza spell, you can actually win the lottery. Please assist me in thanking him and his contacts are listed as follows;

Coward_Token all of my lists are in need of updating on here, I've been busy (and lazy). I've definitely added quite a few of the new myriad creatures.

I will definitely look into mobilize effects, and I didn't even catch that on zopandrel. I've considered dropling him anyways due to the high mana cost, so this will probably be the catalyst for that change. Thanks!!
