Addendum--If you cast this spell during your main phase, that creature gains double strike until end of turn.

griffstick on Rare commander build?

That's cool. I've never seen that cmdr built around that befor. And I've never seen that card befor. I feel there are just so many better options that that card gets put aside and forgotten about.

I've built 4 decks that I would consider having a unique cmdr. I can only share the decks of 2 of them with you today.

The first deck was built around Kiku, Night's Flower. Bring her out and holding the 4 mana up over your opponents head was a sweet tactic that caused your opponents to change what spells they are gonna play. So that was fun. That deck I built a while back and I can't share that with you.

The second unique cmdr I built around is Kagemaro, First to Suffer, similar to Kiku, holding a board wipe over peoples heads is a lil bit of a struggle for your opponents to play around. Because this deck is built to abuse board wipes its pretty fun for me. Not anybody else though. They all hate it. Nobody likes getting board wiped over and over again. Oh it's also a Demon tribal. That deck can be found right here

The third deck is built around Multani, Maro-Sorcerer, the original concept of the deck was to have every creature in the deck to have power and toughness greater than its casting cost. Also to have as many ways or drawing cards from casting creatures. That deck has evolved alot. You can see it here

The fourth and last unique cmdr I built a deck around is Michiko Konda, Truth Seeker. I built this deck to have tons of protection against removal. So naturally it was life gain, enchantments, and angel's with recursion built in. And a win condition that was Avacyn, Angel of Hope + Worldslayer. I don't have that deck on tapped out either. I still have this deck though.

I hope you enjoyed that and I'd also like to hear about some more unique decks and cmdr's

For Gisa, yes. "Dies" is short for "going from the battlefield to the graveyard", and Gisa, Glorious Resurrector replaces the event "a creature an opponent controls would go from the battlefield to the graveyard." If Karn, Silver Golem has turned something into a creature and it would die, that's an event Gisa's first ability can replace, so the card will go to exile. It won't be returned by the second ability because that ability specifies "creature cards".

For Scythe in your specific example, it depends. Kiku, Night's Flower's activated ability doesn't interact with Scythe of the Wretched because it makes the creature deal damage to itself, but Scythe wants the equipped creature (here, Kiku) to have dealt the damage. If the creature dies in combat with Kiku then it will work fine. The other card will be returned to the battlefield because Scythe doesn't care whether it's an actual creature card.

Trying to figure out if a non-creature artifact will be exiled with Gisa, Glorious Resurrector if I use Karn, Silver Golem to make it a creature and then kill it with a Kiku, Night's Flower for example. Same kind of thing if Karn makes the artifact a creature and they die to Kiku equipped with Scythe of the Wretched.

PTSD 4

Enchantment-Aura Cure

Enchant Player

Whenever enchanted is dealt damage from a source that has already dealt damage to it, they take an extra 3 damage and discards 2 cards from their hand.

If a instant or sorcery like Lightning Bolt or Fireball dealt damage to a player and if you deal damage with another copy it still makes this effect go off

Make legendary assassin commander that is actually made for assassins' the closest ones we are Queen Marchesa who just makes tokens and Kiku, Night's Flower which can get rid of high power low toughness creatures once a turn but neither actually help assassins. and yes ik there are other legendary assassins but they don't actually do anything for assassins Thraximundar is for aristocratic decks and i honestly didn't think the assassin subtype fits him or his style, Etrata, the Silencer feels more like a rouge than assassin and Kelsien, the Plague is the worst for assassins. Sorry went on a tangent.

dbpunk on What was your favorite play …

I have two

My friend and I were playing one on one, and he had a Kiku, Night's Flower and I had my Anafenza, the Foremost deck. He had just used ad nauseum to get most of his deck into his hand, then discarded his grave into his graveyard before casting Rise of the Dark Realms and getting about 70 power on the board. And the most I have is some spirit creature tokens and High Sentinels of Arashin at about 10 power.

I look at the board and see the only creature with flying is Rune-Scarred Demon. So I cast Path to Exile on it and swing in to win.

The other favorite is that the entire game I was managing to decently deal damage to my friend with my Vaevictis Asmadi, the Dire deck and my friend has their Lord Windgrace, but am hellbent at that point with a Greater Good. So Im about to swing in for lethal next turn with an army of goblins and other creatures and Vaevictus on the board. He casts a Damnation and thinking I can get cards back to rebuild, Im about to sacrifice Vaevictus and all my other big creatures, and he casts a Krosan Grip. I now have no cards and no field, and he wins by Scapeshift with Lotus Cobra and Amulet of Vigor on board and burns me out.

Love the theme (+1). Kiku's Shadow (technique from the assassin Kiku, Night's Flower), feels really on theme, even though it is unfortunately only at sorcery speed. Plunge into Darkness can be a really nice set up for Death's Shadow. Hope this helps.

I'm a slut for Kamigawa art, so I'm going to see how I like Kiku, Night's Flower over Gifted Aetherborn .
