water proof deck (v.3.0)

The first thing I notice is that a lot of your bounce spells are very very questionable. You could find a lot better with just a basic unsummon. Word of Undoing is technically a better version. Why no snap? For mass draw, Borrowing 100,000 Arrows and Hylda's Crown of Winterwould be very good with all of the tap you have. Candlekeep Sage could be good if your planning on flickering nez a lot. Your counter spells are also lacking in quality. Disallow, spell pierce, and Ice Out are all better than your assorted cancel variants.
jzt0 on Abdel Adrian - Comboing Off …
7 months ago
My situation: Abdel Adrian, Gorion's Ward has Assimilation Aegis in exile with his ability. Candlekeep Sage, White Plume Adventurer, and Prismatic Lens on board, with Werefox Bodyguard in hand. At the end of my turn, my friend casts an overloaded Cyclonic Rift. I respond by casting my Bodyguard, targeting Abdel. If we are now both fully tapped out, am I able to combo off to my heart’s desire, essentially winning through the Undercity losing 5 life (Trap Room), getting a large amount of mana through Lens, BEFORE his Cyclonic Rift resolves? Please let me know if I need to clarify! Thank you!!

How about Gale, Waterdeep Prodigy and Candlekeep Sage? Run blink and bounce effects as control that's not too heavy that also gets you a lot of value.

Blink Commander
9 months ago
I'm not sure it's intended, but one of the largest problems with blink decks is that they naturally synergise into infinite combos. If that's what you're going for, then cool, but there is that split between groups who like it and groups that don't.
Any two sources of enter battlefield blink (Felidar Guardian, etc.) sets it off. The instant you put one down, you can target the other and you now have infinite creatures entering the battlefield.
The same thing can happen if you have three sources of enter battlefield temporary exile (Oblivion Ring, Abdel Adrian, Gorion's Ward, etc.). You just create a loop where they exile each other in turn for infinite creatures entering the battlefield.
This can also lead to a bunch of super weird interactions, but as with most infinite combos you've already won the game anyway (unless you deck yourself with Candlekeep Sage).
Add1 on Will Candlekeep Sage draw me …

Greetings,
I have both Brago, King Eternal and Candlekeep Sage on the board. When Brago connects and exiles himself only to immediately come back, will I draw two cards for him leaving and entering at the same time?
Thanks.

Candlekeep Sage could easily be as good or better than a Rhystic Study here.
Maestros Charm is just a solid charm.

Best Commanders in EDH [Tier List] Part 1
3 years ago
Nonary27 There are a lot of competitive/fringe competitive commanders in both sets.
New Capenna
Lagrella, the Magpie serves as Fiend Hunter in the command zone, letting you do sacrifice combos with Karmic Guide. She'll probably end up somewhere close to Saffi Eriksdotter.
Cormela, Glamour Thief combos with reanimator spells like Footsteps of the Goryo as long as you have cost reduction cards like Goblin Electromancer or a sac outlet that generates mana. I think she's pretty strong. Anhelo, the Painter is a grixis version of Kalamax, the Stormsire. Probably the best of the new Grixis commanders. Evelyn, the Covetous is weaker than it looks. I don't think there is an infinite blink/flicker/cloning combo piece that's also a vampire. Probably not better than Vela the Night-Clad, even with the extra color. Lord Xander, the Collector has a big impact on casual tables, but is nowhere near as relevant in competitive play. Would put him somewhere close to Evelyn.
Falco Spara, Pactweaver is an okay value engine, but you have to jump through extra hoops to go infinite with it compared to Elsha of the Infinite, so it will be a few tiers lower than Elsha. Rigo, Streetwise Mentor has to compete with Edric, Spymaster of Trest, they want to do more or less the same thing. I'm not sure if Rigo is better or worse.
Ognis, the Dragon's Lash does the same as Grand Warlord Radha. You get an extra color, but have the restriction regarding haste in exchange. Henzie "Toolbox" Torre is just a bad Grim Haruspex that can serve as pseudo-haste-enabler. Not weak, but also not very strong. Rocco, Cabaretti Caterer is a Wargate for creatures in the command zone. Might be the strongest Naya legend to date, although Marath, Will of the Wild is no joke either. Jolene, the Plunder Queen enables untap combos with Black Market Tycoon, but it just ends up being a much worse version of the Freed from the Real combos that other commanders can do.
None of the others are worth mentioning imo.
Commander Legends 2
Abdel Adrian, Gorion's Ward is similar to Lagrella, all about Fiend Hunter-type flicker/sacrifice combos. Candlekeep Sage is probably the best background for it. Alaundo the Seer is a simic version of Jhoira of the Ghitu, except that it's slower, but also draws cards. Bhaal, Lord of Murder is more or less an Odric's Outrider in the command zone, but that it only counts for nontoken creatures means you can't combo with Scurry Oak, so it's probably not that great. I think Duke Ulder Ravengard combos with Port Razer?
Gale, Waterdeep Prodigy sort of gives all your instants & sorceries flashback, which is usually very powerful. Not sure how good it ends up being in practice however. Ganax, Astral Hunter is basically just Galazeth Prismari. Kagha, Shadow Archdruid is yet another Golgari recursion commander, which are usually at least decent. Jan Jansen, Chaos Crafter goes infinite with Clock of Omens and Liquimetal Coating.
Baba Lysaga, Night Witch, Bane, Lord of Darkness, Dynaheir, Invoker Adept, Gorion, Wise Mentor and Jaheira, Friend of the Forest have a lot of combo potential, but I'm not sure how to break them yet.
