Xantcha Errata'd —Sept. 3, 2019
Xantcha was Errata'd.
The change is that she now gets exiled (to the Command Zone) when her controller loses the game. She used to flip back to her owner's control. This means that to win at instant speed with the WGD loop, we now need to include Comet Storm. It's now possible to overdraw when you kill Xantcha's controller. If you have infinite mana, you stack Xatcha draws equal to the number of cards remaining in your deck. Then they all resolve, and you draw your deck and kill one opponent. Then you dump the rest of the mana into the infinite Comet Storm to kill the other opponents.
Changes : + Comet Storm, - Whipflare.
They just nuetered this deck by errataing the fact that she comes back under owners control and instead you now have to re-cast her.
Whats your take on working around this?

NAHS901 Honestly, the errata makes the deck better. Now you can kill everyone deterministically after making infinite mana. When Xantcha's controller dies, she gets exiled, you recast her, give her to the next person, and repeat.

Kannibal It hurts her because you cannot kill at instant speed now. The work around we have come up with in the discord is to run Comet Storm over rolling earthquake and kill after you create infinite mana.

What do you think of Anje Falkenrath? Better, worse or different?
