Prosper, Tome-Bound

Legendary Creature — Tiefling Warlock

Deathtouch

Mystic Arcanum — At the beginning of your end step, exile the top card of your library. Until the end of your next turn, you may play that card.

Pact Boon — Whenever you play a card from exile, create a Treasure token. (It's an artifact with ", Sacrifice this: Gain one mana of any colour.")

Brimstone on Unable to read cards because …

I do not have a complete list, and it changes as new sets are put out, but currently Force of Negation is by default displayed in Japanese, Glistener Elf is in Phyrexian eventhough Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite seems to be normal, Estrid, the Maskedfoil is in Poster foil, and a whole mess of cards Akroma's Will, Dovin's Veto, Mangara, the Diplomat are in the new FF full art which I feel is somehow harder to read than the Phyrexian. I am also not sure why the site chooses to randomly make some cards foil. I have never designated a card as foil but on many of my decks cards are randomly assigned as foil, however this is not consistent. Fabricatefoil is foil in some of my decks but not others, Passionate Archaeologistfoil, Prosper, Tome-Boundfoil etc seem to be foil in all new decks I make. (Unwanted foils not only throw off the general value of the cards/decks but they also ass foil to the end if copied from the main list, so It's necessary to either delete that from every randomly foiled card, or go into the editing screen before copying the list. Below is an example deck I have made. If while viewing the sample deck you are not seeing the same style as me, I can provide screen shots instead.

Is there an option to opt out of cards defaulting to alternate art or foil?

P.S. In previewing my post I can already see that most of the examples above are displaying differently in this post than they are in the decks I am making.

Thank you for checking out the deck and offering some suggestions, Craeter, I appreciate it. I'm overdue on doing a year end wrap up of the various changes I've made this year. Definitely overdue for a primer update in general; I've been meaning to expand on a couple of sections and clean up organization in general. In regards to your suggestions:

  • I used to play Sword of the Animist in some of the earliest iterations of this deck, from like February 2022 to at most the following year. A core memory was an early game where I pulled all of the basics out of my deck with the Sword, & my play group saw how this would be a problem. Over time, I've moved away from playing equipment much beyond the Lightning Greaves variants and Skullclamp, especially outside of dedicated Equipment strats. They're useful, but I don't like the play pattern of equipment costs, especially when I run lots of cheap instant speed interaction, that I feel those costs can compete with. I think as I optimized my mana base, Land Tax effectively took the slot that Sword used to be in.

  • I'll keep that Kaya in mind. I played Kaya, Geist Hunter for a bit for her anthem effect and token doubling. Planeswalkers don't see a whole lot of play in my play groups because of how aggro and go-wide they primarily lean. Walkers tend to get attacked and removed very quickly.

  • Nahiri's Resolve is interesting as an anthem & means of re-setting creatures at end of turn. For a Haste anthem, 5 mana feels kind of slow, especially when there are other haste anthems in the 3-4 cmc range that also offer a power buff in addition to haste. I think this could be a stronger piece in a deck with a more dedicated suite of creatures or artifacts with ETB effects.

  • Etali, Primal Storm is another card I used to play in Isshin. There were turns where it popped off & got some really cool pulls off its doubled trigger. The majority of the time I played it, Etali tended to eat targeted removal and board wipes, or the attack triggers whiffed. It's a fun card, but very boom or bust. Big Red effects are fun, but after a while I craved more consistency.

  • Mangara, the Diplomat was in some of the earliest iterations of this deck (maybe like the first 4 months). I found that my playgroup would play around Mangara in a way that he didn't feel super impactful. Some of the earliest archetype shifts that I made for this deck were cutting the more defensive pillow-fort effects like Mangara and Emberwilde Captain, and leaning much more into being proactive with my own aggro. I've found that Authority of the Consuls and similar effects have been wonderful here because they hamper early aggro, or cheaply come down when the table is in board-wipe recovery mode and helps me get out ahead.

  • I played Gloin briefly in my old Prosper, Tome-Boundfoil deck. Gimli feels like it could be a budget alternative to Professional Face-Breaker, or put in work in a more Legendary focused deck, like you suggested. I toyed around with the idea of a Shanid, Sleepers' Scourge Mardu Legends deck about a year ago, and I think these two Dwarves and Galadriel's Mirror would be more at home there.

Thank you again for the suggestions.

Crow_Umbra on I wanna be the evil …

I think Red/Black is a great core to have as a component of "evilness". The third color gives you different flavors of villainy.

  • Malik, Grim Manipulator - Especially if the Universes Beyond version isn't your cup of tea.

  • Extus, Oriq Overlord  Flip/Awaken the Blood Avatar  Flip - For a different flavor of Evil Wizard that isn't Grixis.

  • Anhelo, the Painter / Lord Xander, the Collector - If you want a different flavor of Grixis beyond "Evil Wizard". From having played Anhelo, he's a weird mix of spellslinger and Aristocrats that kinda pushes and pulls between the archetypes.

  • Henzie "Toolbox" Torre - Henzie is more amoral than evil in lore. From consistently playing against my best friend's Henzie deck, this is definitely a commander that can consistently become the arch enemy of games. Highly recommend him for how explosive he can be.

  • Laughing Jasper Flint - Play a bunch of Outlaws and twirl your imaginary mustache. Olivia, Opulent Outlaw adds white and all the support and excellent removal options from it.

  • Prosper, Tome-Boundfoil - Prosper seems more like an amoral Warlock, than actually evil. Regardless, Prosper has quite a reputation, and can turn into an archenemy at tables. I used to play him, and didn't expect him to get nearly as much Treasure and Impulse/Exile play support as he did since his debut. He could also be a value piece in Jasper Flint or Olivia, since Warlocks are Outlaws.

  • Jon Irenicus, Shattered One - Another different flavor of Evil Wizard. Can be a fun kind of evil depending on the creatures you donate to your opponents.

Just a handful of options I can think of off the top of my head.

One of my favourite decks that I run is Faldorn, Dread Wolf Herald, I'd love to see that pop off with Prosper, Tome-Bound. I think they'd be really fun partners, you get wolves and treasures with every card you play.

Thank you Profet93, I appreciate it. I'll definitely update the deck and primer as I get more reps in. There are already a few new cards from Murders at Karlov Manor that look like they would be right at home here:

If this deck doesn't end up being my cup of tea, I've already brewed up an Ognis, the Dragon's Lash deck that will end up becoming a successor mashup of this deck, my Prosper, Tome-Bound, and Goro-Goro and Satoru decks. I have the nagging feeling there will be a cool Jund Legend in Outlaws of Thunder Junction I'm going to end up liking.

Welcome to the eternal formats Beseech the Mirror.

Eriette is pretty damn cool. Definitely considering building that one. It's a shame that you can't run Smoke Spirits' Aid with her.

Rowan has some interesting synergies.

Lich-Knight's Conquest looks pretty solid

Insert "this will go in Prosper, Tome-Bound" comment for Decadent Dragon

Syr Ginger has amazing flavor design, especially when you consider the old Eldrain trailer.

Ashiok's showcase(?), borderless(?) art is a thing of beauty.

DreadKhan on Super Juri-o Galaxy

Have you thought about Prosper, Tome-Bound in here to make Star Bits/generate card advantage? People usually use it as a Commander, but I suspect it'll do work in the 99 too. Any reason (price comes to mind, I missed my opportunity on these) you don't use The Ozolith? It seems like it has huge synergy with your Commander.

There is a fair bit of Voltron that might work in here, Juri can get big enough for Mask of Griselbrand to be very useful (he'll have Lifelink when he dies if he was equipped, so you can just deal damage and gain cards instead of life), Dauthi Embrace is very good at helping any creature attack safely, yours or an opponents even, you might try out Shizo, Death's Storehouse and/or Shinka, the Bloodsoaked Keep, either works for Juri or another Legendary, but I think Witch's Clinic offering Lifelink, even if it's only to your Commander, will be quite useful. I also like Berserkers' Onslaught for Double Strike on your entire board, 5 mana to permanently double your attacking power seems like good value. Finally, there is the new (and fairly unusual) Scavenged Brawler, this is a way to put 4 +1 counters on Juri once the card is in the graveyard, but you also get a bunch of very powerful keywords that synergize very well with a +10 power Juri. Since you like to sacrifice stuff, if you choose to try out some of those voltron cards you might like Rite of the Raging Storm, it makes plenty of tokens, and they aren't coming your way. Rite really likes Exquisite Blood and Kothophed, Soul Hoarder, and both I would argue are independently playable. All of these cards do a surprising amount of work in my own Rakdos deck, and I think your Commander is also pretty beefy.

DonaldFuck on Production of any color in …

2 years ago

So, i wanna talk a little bit about that rule change a few years back about production of mana color. What i mean is that before 2016 (i think that was the year) when a land or mana rock/dork was tapped for mana of any color you could only produce color that was in your commander color identity. Let's say i use Prosper, Tome-Bound whose color identity is black and red. If he existed in 2016 (ignore, if date is wrong) my Treasure tokens would be able to produce only one these colors (black or red) but now they have the power to produce any color i wish. This can be useful to, for example, cast spells that i may have stolen from other players' decks or activate abilities of permanents i stole.

Isn't this a little silly? I don't really agree with this philosophy and rule change. I miss the old days when you could only produce the colors that you chose to play with. It somehow breaks the rules of commander. What comes next? Allow hybric color cards to be legal in decks that have at least one of the colors in check?

What are your thoughts on this matter?

Is this rule change a good or bad thing?
