Go immolate someone else —Jan. 19, 2018
I like the interaction between Immolating Souleater (or its big brother, Moltensteel Dragon) and Bruse but it's been underwhelming in multiplayer. Most of the time, I feel I'd be at a better position if I had a removal or some sort of card advantage spell. If you are curious about the souleater x bruse interaction, I've done a math analysis of it and posted on reddit: https://redd.it/7phqk1.
I removed both creatures and added Path to Exile and the pseudo-, mono-white notion thief, aka Alms Collector. I've tested him before but decided to give him another chance. We can "combo" with Wheel of Fortune and get blue players by surprise.
Surprisingly enough, I've won a couple of games with Grafted Exoskeleton and it's been performing okay. It's a very situational card and spending 6 mana to cast and equip is asking a lot but it's been a decent alternative win-con so far. Honestly, I might cut it in the future if something better comes to my attention. The thing is that we don't need to juice up our commanders even more. They are usually enough on their own.
New set looks like crap for RW, so I don't think there will be any new additions but we'll see.
