StopShot on In your opinion: what was …

What came before the first Commander product.

The first Commander product, Commander 2011, came out after New Phyrexia, with the Scars of Mirrodin block being infamous for creating the keyword Infect which is an incredibly powerful keyword in the Commander format, but can be argued was not designed with Commander in mind because of how it was obviously meant for 20 life formats and has never shown up as a keyword in any base commander product since its debut.

What came after the first Commander product.

Just like how powerful infect could be, after Scars of Mirrodin came the Innistrad block which would create Commander staples still used today like Blasphemous Act, Craterhoof Behemoth and Laboratory Maniac, but could you argue WoTC pushed these cards for Commander players? I don't think what Commander staples printed in a set is an apt indicator of what influence Commander has on any given Standard set, after all Avacyn Restored released Griselbrand, a card WoTC would never have created in today's Standard sets given how much the Commander format plays a role in their current set design.

How the Griselbrand standard may answer this question.

I think a more appropriate metric is to apply what I would dub the Griselbrand standard when assessing Standard sets. The Griselbrand standard is cards or mechanics that would be fine in a 20 life 1v1 block constructed format but would obviously have no business ever being in a marketed product for a 40 life multiplayer format, with other examples of the Griselbrand standard being infect, Serra Ascendant, Emrakul, the Aeons Torn, etc. Not every Standard set needs a Griselbrand-like card or mechanic to determine if the Commander format played a role in its set design. Instead, it should be asked, at what point did the Griselbrand standard die in MTG Standard set design to make way for the Commander format? I feel this is a more appropriate question to ask to determine when Commander started to take effect on Standard set design, and I'm curious to hear what set you think would best mark this transition into the Standard sets we see today.

If we skipped the battle I wouldn't have to fight against them...

Personally id have been fiiiine with it. Nothing jams mu day more then a surprise Emrakul, the Aeons Torn or Ulamog, the Infinite Gyre.

Though, I am team Dragonlords. I too was upset to see it skipped over, giving the Dragonlords a single printing in almost all respects.

Icbrgr on Psychic Frog and Emrakul

If I have Psychic Frog in play and i decide to use Burning Inquiry/Goblin Lore and Emrakul, the Aeons Torn is one of the random cards discarded; could I in response to Emrakul going into the graveyard activate the Frogs ability to exile 3 cards to prevent shuffling my graveyard into my library?

Claim the Firstborn is the funniest card XD

Forbidden Friendship is pretty funny too.

The bait and switch with tricking the opponent into thinking you're playing a regular token strat and then pulling Emrakul, the Aeons Torn into play for free is really hilarious though, the icing on the cake. Awesome sauce.

Femme_Fatale, that I am unsure of. I did some random cherry-picking and looked up some other cards on the banlist and they all seemed to be banned on the website - looks like it's just Emrakul, the Aeons Torn.

Emrakul, the Aeons Torn is showing up as being legal in Commander / EDH on TappedOut, and is showing up as legal in decklists in the format.

At least formally, Emrakul, the Aeons Torn is not legal for EDH, so it's a strange decision. I would prefer Ulamog, the Defiler, Ulamog, the Ceaseless Hunger, or Zhulodok, Void Gorger as the commander, given legality issues.

Some other small thoughts:

wallisface on Help improve my deck pls

1 year ago

Two things that might help people better evaluate this:

1) what format is this for? I assume Modern??

2) make this as a deck on the site and put the link to it here. It’s a bit hard reading the list as a wall-of-text.

Just from looking at what’s there at the moment, a bunch of cards don’t seem very good/helpful - namely Nylea's Disciple (doesn’t advance your boardstate therefore doesn’t do anything), Nissa, Genesis Mage (and excessively high mana cost and basically only provides even more mana), Gelatinous Genesis (there’s just better things to be doing than this).

I’m worried you’re investing a lot of energy to maybe be cheating out some kindof-ok (but a bit meh) creatures, when you could instead just be Tooth and Nailing out an Emrakul, the Aeons Torn and Xenagos, God of Revels to win the game on the spot.
