Bookrook on What makes a card or …

I think that a toxic deck is anything that generally makes their deck unable to do anything their deck likes to do. So a Maha, Its Feathers Night or a Toxrill, the Corrosive deck might be toxic to a creature reliant stompy deck, but not to a spellslinger deck. Even my Beamtown Bullies deck thinks every deck that plays Leyline of the void is toxic. However, I believe that there are some cards that are generally toxic to all decks, such as grand arbiter Augustin 4, or Nekusar, the Mindrazer.

Bookrook on Top ten most toxic commanders.

These are, in my opinion, the top ten most toxic commanders to play against. The ones where you get teamed up on more than the guy with the turn one sol ring.

Atraxa, Praetors' Voice. Infect infect infect infect. Also gets toxic points for being an infect commander.

Koma, Cosmos Serpent.

If they have any kind of token doubler or nonlegendary cloner, you might as well skip your untap step. Once my friend had an Essix, Fractal Bloom out with a Mirror Box.

Numot the Devestator Land destruction. Need I say more?

Tergrid, God of Fright  ^Flip.

Nobody cares about the lantern. Everybody cares about their creatures going up for adoption.

Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker

Goes infinite with a ham sandwich. Pray WOTC never makes a blue version of it.

The Beamtown Bullies I’m guilty of playing with this deck. Who new there were so many cards with very big downsides. *cough cough Leveler

Grand Arbiter Augustin IV

Do you want people to play with you?

Maha, Its Feathers Night

Kaervek, the Spiteful, Night of Souls' Betrayal, and the million other cards that give all creatures -1/-1 until end of turn exist.

All the Phyrexian praetors (but mostly Sheoldred, the Apocalypse)

Card draw is good in commander. Sheoldred deals damage to your opponents when they draw cards. Plus,Peer into the Abyss either instakills an opponent or gives you 30 life and 40 cards.

Nekusar, the Mindrazer

Just like sheoldred, but you get access to red for wheels and handsize burn spells, and blue for being blue.

*honarable mention to The Infamous Cruelclaw decks that play 99 lands and Worldfire.

Not exactly a payoff, but Maha, Its Feathers Night has a relevant Ward cost, and can serve as a big beater in the air. Its static ability and Trample will help it get through most Flying blockers. Sometimes a wincon can be as simple as punching someone with a big flyer a couple of times.

Also, Tinybones, Trinket Thief and Tinybones, the Pickpocket can both interact well with discard strategies in their own ways. Trinket Thief certainly is a popular option as a discard commander in its own right.

It always takes me a couple of days to catch up on previews. I got some time off today, so I'm almost up to date.

Another Mystery Booster Playtest mechanic arises!

Kaervek, the Spiteful + Maha, Its Feathers Night (not enough poetic, too much awkward in that name) could be interesting. Would it be good enough for Pioneer?

New art for Run Away Together by Omar Rayyan. He's got the right style for this sort of pastoral setting.
