Blade of Selves

Artifact — Equipment

Equipped creature has myriad. (Whenever ts creature attacks, for each opponent other than defending player, you may put a token that's a copy of this creature onto the battlefield tapped and attacking that player or a planeswalker he or she controls. Exile the token at the end of combat.)

Equip (: Attach this to target creature you control. Equip only as a sorcery. This enters the battlefield unattached and stays on the battlefield if the creature this card is attached to leaves the battlefield.)

Wow! Change in commander? Sounds good to me. Let’s reevaluate some equipment since he doubles triggers as long as he’s equipped:

Pip-Boy 3000 very on curve for cloud, letting us loot to ensure land drops early. Cool idea of untapping four lands at a time in the late game.

Helm of the Host or Blade of Selves will make more tutors in the form of more clouds

Sword of Forge and Frontier swords of X and Y tend to get better, especially with this ramping us more.

Nazgul Battle-Mace double annihilator? They would also have to pay 6 life for each sacrificed thing to stop us from getting control.

The Aetherspark being able to ultimate the following turn looks sweet

It depends. As written, if you don't do anything else, then the tokens in this example will get exiled because they aren't creature tokens. However, if you spend the mana to turn them into creatures then they'll be ok.

A copy effect copies everything written on the original object, plus the result of any copy effects that it happens to be under (e.g. a copy of a Clone of Runeclaw Bear will be another Bear, not another Clone), and that's it. No other effects being applied to the original object get copied.

In your example this means the copies of Lavaclaw Reaches created by Blade of Selves will just be regular, un-animated Reaches. If you leave them un-animated then The Master, Multiplied won't stop them from being exiled at end of combat, but if you activate the ability on any of them to turn them into creatures then The Master's ability will apply and they won't get exiled.

Just had this pop up. I built The Master, Multiplied a while back but while weaving, I have in something pop up that hasn't happened yet. But if it does, I'm wondering if I have Lavaclaw Reaches out and it's effect goes off, making it a creature until end of turn. I then give it Blade of Selves. so when I go too swing and the myraid goes off what'll happen after ward when lava claw reaches return to normal, but the master let's me keep the token that was made

Nice looking Angel-deck. I was just toying with the idea of how cool Blade of Selves can be in an Angel deck. Actually equipping that to amost of your Angels would be a nightmare for your opponents (assuming you play commander in 4-player pods). It would be amazing on Angel of Destiny, Archangel of Thune, Exemplar of Light, Righteous Valkyrie and Serra's Emissary to name but a few.

As for more conventional ideas, how about Sunblast Angel? She's a really nasty surprise when opponents' attacked the previous turn (another fun target for Blade of Selves, btw). Adarkar Valkyrie is also excellent; she can attack and still prevent something from dying afterwards. Even better, she can steal an opposing creature while saving it from death! Angelic Arbiter is also great; opponents either can't attack or can't cast spells; brutal.

Hey NV_1980

Thanks for the suggestions! I do own a Splinter Twin. Looking to add Orthion, Hero of Lavabrink and Mirage Phalanx now. Rionya, Fire Dancer, Delina, Wild Mage, Flamerush Rider, and Blade of Selves are also some solid options for this effect.

They work especially well as a surprise token copy ETB with haste enablers like Xenagos, God of Revels, and Rhythm of the Wild.

FormOverFunction -
Love the term "bolt Ron-ish"! :-D

Sorry if you already knew this and I just misunderstood your recommendation. But Blade of Selves and other Myriad effects are pretty terrible on most Commanders ... whenever we control multiple copies of a Legendary permanent with the same name, we have to immediately choose one and put the others in the graveyard :-/
The only exceptions I know of are Commanders we want in the graveyard (e.g., Slimefoot and Squee) and those we want to kill (e.g., Juri, Master of the Revue).

Thanks though, and cheers!

With a bolt Ron-ish (I’m going to leave that autocorrect there, because I like it as much as I like ‘voltron-ish’) commander I like the Blade of Selves because myriad really rounds things out nicely. The trouble I keep running into is the balancing the bouncing of creatures and equipping them with things. I’m not sure what the best answer is for that… which is where I end up every time I start thinking about massacre girl. Maybe you can rely on something like Endless Scream on the following turn, to follow her etb board wipe, and just never plan to cast her more than once a game? She’s literally the embodiment of Rakdos: yes, you’ve done insane destruction to everyone around you… but to what end? Loool
