griffstick on Card creation challenge

Since I made my wife a card I decided to make my own with the same art style.

Wild

Or

Create an creature/enchantment aura, that works like bestow but in reverse. Celestial Archon for example. The bestow cost is more than its casting cost. Well make an Aura Enchantment that has a mechanic that allows you to play it as a creature instead and the cost to do so is more because when it dies it attaches to a creature as an Aura. See its bestow in reverse.

golgarigirl on What makes a deck-worthy commander?

@gleelock

I was running Chromanticore as my commander (house-ruled, of course), but I was only running four {R} or {B} cards. With the influx of enchantment support in the new enchantment set (and ever since then...honestly I first built the deck in COK, and the support has exploded since then), I determined it was very easy to live without those cards. They were nice to have, but I just ended up swapping them for similar roles at that point.

legendofa on Urzatron with Filter and Pain …

City of Brass and Mana Confluence add mana, instead of just filtering like Shimmering Grotto and Painted Bluffs.

This also has a lot of building required. Without lots of land searching, it's going to be pretty colorless at first. So I'm not quite sure what this would go into, generating colorless mana until it starts generating all colors. Maybe if you want to get Chromanticore and Godhead of Awe in the same deck?

It's an interesting idea, I'm just not sure there's a problem that needs this solution.

I've also build a Brutal Hordechief deck online before. That was a lot of fun.

Captivating Vampire can be loads of fun if you enjoy losing friends.

Chromanticore is one I've always wanted to build. Maybe a Mutate / Aura deck. I've tried that in the past with Surgeon General Commander, but I couldn't get it to work.

Hmmm beyond what is mentioned I can only think of Child of Alara (blow up the universe/embodiment of the universe vibes) and Chromanticore (Zooming through space). Can't say either invoke thoughts of he moon, but in my head they do provide a space theme.

For me, my rule 0 commander would either be Genju of the Realm or Chromanticore or maybe Perplexing Chimera when I feel spicy.

Assuming that's all of your permanents, all of them. You start with Faeburrow Elder at 7/7, Chromanticore at 9/9, Grixis Grimblade at 6/5, and Knight of New Alara at 2/2.

Storm's Wrath resolves and deals 4 to all of them. Knight of New Alara dies. Without the buff, Elder is a 5/5, Chromanticore is 4/4, and Grimblade is a 3/2, so the last two die. With both of them gone, Elder is now a 2/2 and dies.
