TheOfficialCreator on What Commander Do You Think …

2 days ago

I agree for the most part with suspensions. Cards can become unbanned but it does seem to be rarer and a more tedious process. There are some cards that deserve to be hard banned (like Black Lotus in Legacy or Lutri in Commander) but they're few and far between imo, and those could just be mainstays on the suspension list.

I've always been an adamant supporter of Emrakul, the Aeons Torn being unbanned in Commander, and I will continue to stand by that. I think unbanning it, looking at how it changes the format, then going from there would be perfectly healthy.

Part of the reason why this doesn't happen I assume is to make it so that players don't have to constantly buy or sell cards to keep up with changing suspensions.

So yes, that's a neat idea that I hadn't thought of before.

AllergicToHumans on Eldrazi Budget

1 week ago

wallisface Hi, thanks so much for the feedback.

This makes a lot of sense, but is it really necessary to remove all the larger creatures with higher mana costs? Yes, it can be hard to play them, but otherwise I'm not sure how to reliably win if my opponent is able to quickly defend against the "main 3" eldrazi. Karn is obviously going to help out a lot, and I can see Emrakul, the Aeons Torn being excessive, but Artisan of Kozilek and Sundering Titan often win the game when I can play them. Still, perhaps that's just the wrong playstyle altogether.

I will seriously consider these suggestions and I really appreciate it.

Eldrazi-tron usually plays a mana curve which is less reliant on assembling Tron, because they have no real way to reliably get it going. To that end, i'd suggest ditching Artisan of Kozilek, Sundering Titan, Emrakul, the Aeons Torn (Emrakul isn't viable to cast in even the most efficient of Tron builds, 15 mana is insane), and Conduit of Ruin.

I'm really not sure what Jester's Scepter is doing here, especially mainboard - it's just soo useless soo often in games.

I know you're on a budget, but getting 4-of Karn, the Great Creator will power this deck up a LOT. It should be pretty easy to find room for him after ditching the abovementioned cards.

I'd suggest playing full playsets of the "main 3" eldrazi also (Thought-Knot Seer, Matter Reshaper Reality Smasher).

No, it would take a while for Fight Rigging to trigger and I'm just realizing this. I just realized that you also probably don't want to tuck your only Ulamog, the Ceaseless Hunger underneath Fight Rigging. If this deck had a couple of more Eldrazis it would work and you would still get their cast triggers like the extra turn off of Emrakul, the Aeons Torn.

I have thought of some input, but it changes your deck drastically and will cost a little bit of money. Consider adding blue, dropping green completely. Focus on making your tokens and controlling the board early. Play Proteus Staff and Emrakul, the Aeons Torn. Its a bit glass canony but if it works, youll win. Just somethin to think about. This strategy would also work with Polymorph but again, emrakul HAS to be the only creature in the deck.

Balaam__, that isn't correct. Emrakul, the Aeons Torn's last ability is a triggered ability, so it can be responded to with an instant such as Goryo's Vengeance. Are you thinking of Blightsteel Colossus?

Emrakul, the Aeons Torn can’t be reanimated in any traditional sense. The second it touches the graveyard it, along with the rest of the graveyard, get recycled back into your library. As far as I’m aware nothing can take place between that trigger and its resolution. There are ways to cheat it into play, but Goryo's Vengeance is not one of them.

wallisface: I agree with you on the point that modern is currently quite healthy.
Regarding your argument of reprinting: It is just not enough to reprint these cards, but they need to be reprinted in a lower rarity.
It's nice that expensive cards like: Wrenn and Six, Force of Negation, Seasoned Pyromancer, Cavern of Souls, Emrakul, Kozilek, Ulamog etc. get reprinted in Double Masters 2022 if they get reprinted as Mythic Rares, but all in all that just feels like a drop in the bucket.
