Coward_Token on Fuck it, late Outlaw of …

2 weeks ago

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.

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.

Ur-Dragon, Draconian Overlord {5}{W}{U}{B}{R}{G}

Legendary Creature - Elder Dragon Avatar

Flying, haste, ward {4}.

Eminence - Other dragon spells you cast cost {2} less to cast.

Whenever Ur-Dragon, Draconian Overlord attacks, look at the top X cards of your library, where X is the number of attacking Dragons you control. You may cast any number of Dragons from among them without paying their mana costs. Those dragons enter the battlefield tapped and attacking.

10/10

Yep, an even more unbalanced commander. Enjoy!

My last challenge didn't get done, so I'm putting it here again. Please make a new Admiral Beckett Brass.

Goldbeard, God of the Pillage {10}{B}{R}{U}

Legendary creature - God

Haste, Indestructible, Trample, Menace, Hexproof.

Affinity for treasure.

Whenever a Pirate deals one or more damage to one of your opponents, you create that many treasure tokens.

9/5

Make a new Admiral Beckett Brass.

I got ninja'd, but it was wild so it's all good :)

Planar Atlas: Sigh. For mono-color commanders, especially MV 4 ones, it would have been nice if this came in untapped.

Zask: obviously mills for random token Insects too

Auntie Blyte: How is there no black or rakdos hybrid pip for the identity? And How is she not just an imp? Guess they went for the "Devil on your shoulder" pun. (IDK if self-life loss in general would have been too much for the trigger.)

Agus Kos, Eternal Soldier: With Brother's War in mind I was thrown off by this not being a tribal card. And then I was thrown off again by it saying ability, not spell. Anway, probably some fun to be had here; how about Gideon, Battle-Forged? Or Mirrorpool?

Daring Piracy: I would have prefered Cloud Pirates as menace isn't super reliable, but Admiral Beckett Brass is nonetheless happy to have a reliable source of tribal combat damage.

Tragic Slip: Sigh. At least there's not a panty shot.

My thoughts Show

• Don't like most of the Japanese art, looks like cheap screencap alters. Mind you, I like anime.
• Runadi should really be titled Hydra Caller
• Creeping Bloodsucker is a fine addition to Belbe, Corrupted Observer, even if it doesn't curve. Three life a turn isn't bad either.
• Chevill is getting support at a glacial pace
• I'd rather have another Plague Spitter reprint than Festering Evil
• Towering Gibbon looks so cute, haha. I kinda wish it looked at all your permanents though, mostly feels like a more boring green Clone
• I've definently never seen Kibo before. Anyway, are primates only getting two new cards? Because I feel gruul doesn't have very exciting support for EDH. At least Scrounging Bandar works.
• Pirated Copy: So this isn't quite Clone + Tandem Lookout. For one, it's drawing you on combat damage only, so no shenanigans with Lightning-Rig Crew. However, it also lets you copy other people's stuff, which means that their combat can benefit you. I think, but am not sure, that copying a token will make the drawing ability work with all tokens with the same type that aren't otherwise named. Because go-wide decks needed to be put down more in EDH. Not really into this with Admiral Beckett Brass TBH, too high MV. (What I really want is for Protean Raider to get the preserved tribal part of the ability.)
• Don't like white getting copies trough Preston the Vanisher, even if they're weak. Illusions in particular don't feel right for a truth-oriented philosophy, although I suppose light can blind and not just reveal. Surprised it didn't have a blue mana pip somewhere.
• Ashcoat curves nicely enough into Marrow-Gnawer, regardless which one is your commander. Attack with Ashcoat to give your Rats extra power, sacrifice one of them with Gnawer for extra tokens (and even more attack power next turn), then recur the saced rat with Ashcoat. Getting to recur not just one put two cards a turn is quite generous too.
