Narset Transcendent

Planeswalker — Narset

+1: Look at the top card of your library. If it's a noncreature, nonland card, you may reveal it and put it into your hand.

-2: When you cast your next instant or sorcery spell from your hand this turn, it gains rebound.

-9: You get an emblem with "Your opponents can't cast noncreature spells."

How about a Cruel Control sort of approach? Instead of spellslinging and pinging, focus more on card draw (learning new spells) and control/disruption (the piles of utility spells that let the D&D wizard make everything a little easier) until you finish with some big dramatic effect like Cruel Ultimatum or Magma Opus (high-level spells). Without seeing the sorcerer deck, it seems like it's using a lot of small spells for offensive pressure. This would make it more distinct as spellslinger control vs. spellslinger aggro.

I had a similar idea a while back, going for a cube instead of separate Commander decks. My wizard set was {W}{U}{B} support and control, with Narset Transcendent and Merieke Ri Berit as the centerpieces (not wizards, but they had the right flavor and ability). Is that something you would consider?

On gatherer, Narset Transcendents rulings note that if a spell exiles itself as part of its resolution, then ”the ability that lets you cast the spell again won't be created. The spell will simply be exiled.”.

So from that it reads that she can’t rebound Adventures.

Additionally, you have to cast an adventure spell to be able to cast the creature-side from exile - you can’t just cast the creature side if the card has been exiled in any other way (Narset won’t interfere with that interaction).

Sorry, another one! Don't hate me! :)

Will an Adventure spell get exiled as normal per the Adventure mechanic, or will/can Narset Transcendent exile it and rebound it? If it can be rebounded, it will be exiled... can I still cast the permanent portion of the Adventure card from this exiling, or does it have to be exiled from an Adventure to be able to be cast from exile? (This one is my assumption.)

Thanks in advance!

Also love the Dragonlords.... Dragonlord Ojutai is my favorite! *by the way did you ever notice the "decoration" around Dragonlord Silumgars neck? lol i love it!) nobody liked Tasigur, the Golden Fang anyway :p

If memory serves me right there was a gathering of the kahns at a mountaintop and there is a moment here/there which determined the future of the plane of Tarkir.... led by dragons or led by the humans.... In the future where dragons rule i believe it was Ojutai who tipped the scales in the dragons favor and the "fall of the humans"... granted it comes off as a bad thing but overall was the better future for the plane.

Dragonlord timeline Ojutai is connected to Narset Transcendent having her spark ignite by the discovery of Ojutai's role in the alternate timeline of Tarkir.

Kahns timeline Narset, Enlightened Master was leader of the Jeskai clan.... I believe there was some sort of major battle and due to timeline/magic/distraction she was felled in combat by Zurgo Helmsmasher.

and that pretty much everything i remember storywise regarding Tarkir/Ojuatai/Silumgar

Hey thanks Niko9! I agree completely about Settle the Wreckage; feels so good when it does work though! Narset is one of my favorite walkers too! Originally i was running Narset Transcendent but I just could not believe how many times the +1 would miss/reveal a land; and the -2 was just too slow/only felt relevant with Time Warp or something similar... decided to try out Narset of the Ancient Way... she is an interesting walker; i really like the lifegain so much paired with my fetch/shock lands and the looting effect really really goes well with Snapcaster Mage!
