TheoryCrafter on Beta Brackets Update Today

3 weeks ago

Personally, if we're going to have a whole bracket system, we may as well just unban everything that isn't an ante, conspiracy or is racist and set a minimum bracket for specific cards. Such as all cards currently banned means you can only play it in Bracket five while a card like Teferi's ProtectionGC can only be played in perhaps(?) no lower than bracket 3.

With that said I don't think there was a bad call the whole announcement. I know Y'all aren't happy about Coalition Victory. However, it's a spell with a mana cost of 8 and every color except Green has at least one counter spell with a mana value of 2 or less that can handle it. Not to mention the countless spells that cost one black mana to force a discard and there's cards like Naturalize to destroy Dryad of the Ilysian Grove or Leyline of the Guildpact(which some players won't be able to afford purchasing, anyways) as soon as Coalition Victory is cast.

While I don't ever see myself building a deck around Braids, Cabal Minion I can definitely see someday putting her in the Juri, Master of the Revue Deck I am currently building.

Because Sway of the Stars is now unbanned, it's not that difficult to win a game of Commander with Battle of Wits in it. One just needs to activate Spawnsire of Ulamog's 2nd activated ability to put a lotta Eldrazi on the battlefield, target Battle of Wits with Oblivion Ring or Detention Sphere, then cast Sway of the Stars for the win. Provided you can find a playgroup willing to tolerate a wish board of 103 or more cards.

May you draw well.

Seriously tho, Balaam__ is correct here.

"Gain control" does not mean what you think it means.

There are different ZONES in a magic game. One of them is the battlefield, another one is the stack. "Gain control" effects can only refer to objects in those zones (one exception: gaining control of another player ala Mindslaver)

An effect that COULD give access to your sideboard cards would have to be worded so that it includes the words "outside the game" (like Wish or Spawnsire of Ulamog). Cards do not naturally move inside or outside the game (or the sideboard) unless an effect specifacally states that and "outside the game" is also not a zone.

Permanents and "Permanent CARDS" are not the same. "Permanents" can specifically only refer to objects on the battlefield. In all other zones and in the sideboard those are "Permanent Cards" (Seed of Hope is one examle).

Under any circumstances, an effect that would bring a card from outside the game into the game would refer to the card as "(optional type specification like: Artifact, Permanent, blue, instant, Eldrazi) CARD" as seen in a Scryfall search here.

The way Brand is worded it can only (1) give you control of your own stuff on the battlefield (which in most cases is completely doing nothing), or (2) give you your stuff back that an opponent stole or got Donated or you exchanged with them (Spawnbroker and other cards could have done that), just like Balaam__ explained.

Don't you think a 1 mana spell that can slam any 15 cards on the table (or you can also cycle for {2}, lol) would have been a format staple, or immediately banhammered???

"(am I the only one wondering why people don't use this more)?" - Yes, since it sadly does not work like that.

All I can tell you now is to not get discouraged by that. Happened to me before, happened to others before, prominently happened to MTG deckbuilding legend Patrick 'The Innovator' Chapin before (Link to StarCityGames article), and it will happen again. Move on, there are many other combos remaining to be found. Cheers!

So I'm trying to make the ulimate Genesis Deck that focuses on cheating out Creatures and producing lots of mana to activate Spawnsire, Avacyn, Angel of Hope is for boardwipe protection Archetype of Endurance is for targeting Exile protection, Nylea's Disciple is for life gain from using The One Ring for draw and all the Genesis Cards to cheat my Board state out, except Gelatinous Genesis which for an alt win con. I've managed to get everything out by turn 4 before...but it just doesn't feel fast enough, I brick way too often, by either drawing way too much mana or not drawing enough mana, any advice?

Maybe try Eldrazi cards with annihilator to force opponents to sacrifice permanents? Artisan of Kozilek, Eldrazi Conscription, Emrakul, the Aeons Torn (Banned in commander), Hand of Emrakul (Requires Eldzari spawn), It That Betrays (highly recommended for this deck by me), Kozilek, Butcher of Truth, Pathrazer of Ulamog, Spawnsire of Ulamog(20 mana ability does not function in commander), Ulamog, the Infinite Gyre, and Ulamog's Crusher are all the cards that have or give Annihilator

I'm confused. So you get a sideboard of up to 49 cards. But, for the most part, sideboards are largely out of bounds for Commander. You can't play with cards outside of the game, which is why Spawnsire of Ulamog doesn't work. So essentially what Prakalis really says is:

"At the beginning of the game, if Prakalis is in the command zone, each player exiles up to half of their library. If a player does this, they shuffle their library."

And then he transforms the moment he enters the battlefield?

I'm sorry but this is really confusing me here.

One really cool consequence of this however is being able to cut out a bunch of fluff and immediately hone a deck down to the barebones you need to win. So that's pretty awesome, at least.

Target player shuffles all creatures they own from the battlefield, their graveyard and their hand into their library.

If ~ was kicked, it has flash.

The missing piece to my brilliant plan to use Spawnsire of Ulamog to wish just about every Eldrazi ever printed onto the battlefield, then use this spell, if necessary, to win a Commander game with Battle of Wits.

Your challenge is to create a card you need to pull off a game winning combo.

Draconino I have toyed with Spawnsire of Ulamog, but since I don't rule zero the sideboard in my groups, it loses some of it's charm. I actually find that it's very rare for Kruphix, God of Horizons to be removed, so while Horizon Stone is very good, would eat up a card slot. Sea Gate Restoration  ^Flip on the other hand is absolutely something I am looking to add to the deck since the cost to play it is very minimal.

If you're able to, I would recommend that you grab Spawnsire of Ulamog as another great Eldrazi, Horizon Stone for redundancy if someone stops Kruphix, and Sea Gate Restoration  ^Flip is a great utility land in that it can double the cards in your hand and give you no max hand size permantently.
