DemonDragonJ on Should I Put Caustic Caterpillar …

GodzSoldier, I actually did not at all notice that Deadly Brew was a sorcery, not an instant, so I have changed my mind about it.

As for Claws of Gix, I have that card in this deck because it allows me to sacrifice any permanent, not merely creatures, which has actually been useful, on certain occasions.

DemonDragonJ on Commander Masters Previews and Speculation

1 month ago

WotC has officially announced that there shall be a Commander Masters set, so let us begin speculating about it!

Thus far, only three cards have been revealed, but they are all excellent, so I am hoping that the remainder of the set shall be comparable.

If The Ur-Dragon is being reprinted (and it needs to be), I also would like to see Edgar Markov reprinted, because he also is expensive, as well as Oloro, Ageless Ascetic, mainly because he has never been reprinted (except as a judge promo), so I would like to see him in the new card frame.

Given that Rhystic Study, Mystic Remora, and Smothering Tithe were all reprinted, recently, I would like to see Esper Sentinel reprinted, mainly to keep its price low and availability high.

I have said this, before, but I shall again pray for reprints of Book of Rass and Claws of Gix, mainly to see them in the new frame.

Sol Ring and Command Tower are almost certain to be in this set, but I also would like to see Reflecting Pool and Chromatic Lantern, to keep their prices low.

Akroma's Memorial, Mirari's Wake, and Privileged Position would all be great, as well.

What does everyone else say about this? What card would you like to see reprinted in Commander Masters?

ClockworkSwordfish on Extra Turns... But not for me!

I'm glad there were some helpful suggestions in there!

For the record, if you were curious about the Lethal Vapors route, it's trivially easy to skip infinite turns so long as you pair it with Grand Abolisher, City of Solitude or an instant-speed sacrifice outlet like Claws of Gix. I built a similar deck a number of years ago; you can see it here: Sir Not-Appearing-In-This-Game

Feels like a Goblin Bombardment is a good choice here. Phyrexian Altar if you are not worried about budget. Blasting Station, Trading Post, Spawning Pit, Altar of Dementia, Claws of Gix, Shivan Harvest, Thermopod for some other 'janky' options. Hope this helps :)

Claws of Gix are not expensive, but I would like to see them reprinted in the new card frame.

haha! A commander that im super interested in and actually have some card suggestions =D have you considered Claws of Gix for those times curses fall off or are removed from other players but you really dont want them attached to you for too long. Also Vedalken Orrery and/or Leyline of Anticipation so you can flash in some of your curses and attach them to yourself at the end of your opponents turn right before yours so you can benefit from the card draw effect at the start of your turn if your commander is in play. Otherwise pretty sweet looking deck I wasnt sure how to go about building mine and have just been slowly gathering cards that I thought looked good until I did.

Great Start! Try Adding Synergies: Bitterheart Witch, Grim Guardian, Propaganda, Solemn Simulacrum, Blim, Comedic Genius, Shoal Kraken, Geode Rager, Crumbling Necropolis,

Removal: Feed the Swarm, Chaos Warp, Claws of Gix, Slaughter-Priest of Mogis, Rapid Hybridization

More Curses: Curse of Echoes, Curse of Shaken Faith, Curse of Bloodletting

I just saw this post cPute so sorry for the late reply!

At the moment I am unsure on how else other than Slash the Ranks we would self-sacrifice the Academy Rector but if you have any ideas I am certainly open to them.

I love the suggestions and I am looking for space to add them now, the only issue with Back to Basics is it really affects my deck as I run minimum basic lands. If you are running a deck that can suit it more by all means make your opponents cry (then tell me all about it mwahaha).

What I am considering is adding in High Market , Diamond Valley and Smokestack as these cards still synergise with our plan to pace, pretend to make political friends (for those who play politics - who would hurt a bunny) and also stax stax stax!

Honourable mentions to Claws of Gix and Martyr's Cause as it would protect Kwain.
