Yeah, I did the same math, and that 17-cent restriction was too tight. Those commanders I mentioned, Tazri and Garth, are the only two generalist five-color legendary creatures that even came close to fitting, and only 52 cards work at all. Even loosening to twenty cents a card only gets 83 different cards.

The other two main options, General Tazri and Azlask, the Swelling Scourge, have deck building requirements that make them barely one step above vanillas. Kasla, the Broken Halo is the only other mythic rare Ally under 30¢, and the 30¢ colorless creature options are Heart of Kiran (kinda) and Oblivion Sower. Again, that's almost double the average card price.

And the commander has to be five colors in the $10 mythic deck. Even in three colors, there aren't enough cards in any color combination to fill the deck. Temur has 23 cards, Naya and Bant each have 20 cards, and it goes down from there. Four-color options are all too expensive.

On top of General Tazri and Azlask not doing anything, a lot of the cards that fit the requirements don't do much--that's why it's just five-color stuff. It's mostly legendary creatures from here. Admiral Beckett Brass only supports Dire Fleet Ravager and Admiral Brass, Unsinkable, and Clavileno, First of the Blessed only supports himself.

More to come later.

Nov 2 Admiral Beckett Brass's High Seas Robberies finally won a pretty dominant game. Stole a Circle of Dreams Druid from Jared, who was playing Abomination of Llanowar. Port Razer and Cosmotronic Wave the turn after made for an absolutely devastating combat.

Oct 25 Admiral Beckett Brass' High Seas Robberies lost a long close game. Logan had to leave. Dawson eventually killed us with his Jared Carthalion, all planeswalker, Umori, the Collector companion deck. We were all at similar life totals, 8, 6 and 4 with Jesse dead in the final turn cycle. I was able to attack Dawson for 14 on my final turn. To kill him, I would have needed to crack my Glaring Spotlight for three and I thereby couldn't have enough mana to also overload Blustersquall, which would be the only way to survive the attack from Ba if I killed Dawson.

Sannoji - Thanks for the upvote! Admiral Beckett Brass is a pretty rough commander and getting her ability to actually trigger is challenging but pirates are fun none the less! What did you like about the deck? Have any suggestions?

AFAIK all cards are spoiled now.

The set managed to get me surprisingly hopeful by including Pirates in the Outlaw batch, only to make me disappointed. At most, the new Malcolm can replace a french vanilla flier in my Admiral Beckett Brass deck. At least Cactus Preserve can do some work with Ghalta, Primal Hunger.

Felix Five-Boots and Vihaan, Goldwaker are pretty neat

Hey! Thanks for the recommendations Coward_Token! I know Delney doesn't double Merry or Welcoming Vampire's triggers but it still does synergize with almost two thirds of the creatures in the deck so I think its still worth it. I like the Monologue Tax, though Lotho, Corrupt Shirriff arguably does it better, still redundancy might not be a bad thing. I think Smuggler's Share is really interesting, but maybe too easy to play around the part that gives me the treasures? I love Revel in Riches, had it in and Admiral Beckett Brass deck a while back so it could definitely be a worthy inclusion. Not sure the rest do more than anything I already have but I'll do some testing and then decide. I really appreciate the suggestions!

I absolutely love Admiral Beckett Brass as a commander. She was my first commander deck, and after 6 years she's still plundering the high seas. Nice to see someone who didn't immediately swap her with the new one.

My thoughts Show

As it has somehow avoided being banned in EDH all this time, I welcome the reprinting of Mana Crypt.

"Welcome to...": do the new Walls lose all their abilities?

Jeff Goldblum joins Hugh Grant as yet another A-list Hollywood actor that you can now play as your commander. Anyway, the card is kind of like... mutual theft? Seems hard to optimize because if you include synergy like Faerie Mastermind and Agent of Treachery, there's a risk that you end up accidentaly exiling them for your opponents to use. (Also, I was going to be a know-it-all and say that mathematicians aren't scientists, but chaos theory said "no".)

Ojer Axonil: I kinda wish this used the Transformers "More Than Meets the Eye" technology so that it basically functioned as a transforming MDFC.

The Skullspore Nexus: Will try to fit in my Ghalta, Primal Hunger deck. If the big girl dies, you get a replacement that can in turn give a discount on recasting her. Also, the basic play pattern of Turn 5: Cast Ghalta T6: Cast this and activate it like an X=1 Exponential Growth, netting you a commander that can one-shot anyone who doesn't have more than 3 toughness worth of blockers, is solid.

Breeches: I didn't know I needed this for my Admiral Beckett Brass deck. The pseudo-evasion mode synergizes well with menace, and the Treasure mode + his mana cost sets up casting the Admiral on-curve quite smoothly, especially if you managed to get out two other Pirates already. IDK why they included first strike and on-curve P/T and an attack trigger that doesn't actually requires himself to attack and pseudo-evasion, seems a bit pushed even in my eyes.

Huatli: The powercreeper within me wish she functioned like the March of the Machine Praetors, transforming back at the end of the Saga.
