They will probably put something out about it being their first representations of openly gay characters, unless I've forgotten one. I saw it mentioned when they printed the Artifact Wall.

So something I just noticed from the last open... Tom Ross used 4x blossoming defense AND 4x vines. Totally dropped twisted image from the maindeck. Uses rancor instead of Distortion Strike or blessing. I like it.

Owen does some funny stuff. I still laugh about the time he Skyped into LSV's stream and went off on a rant about how he'd accept $5 to burn every book in the world.

Duel Commander's life total went down to 20 recently, I can see Vial Smasher doing some loving work there. Same with the not-blue damage doubler dude. But I like that this set is managing to give us 60(?) new commanders, even if most of them will be mediocre.

Assuming each deck has 3 partners and 1 other legend, and counting each pair of partners as a commander, there will be 110 new commanders. (125 if you include using a single partner on its own as a commander, but that seems strictly worse than pairing them with another partner.)

...how is 3 partners per 4c deck going to work? I assumed we were getting two 4c legends and two 2c partners. If there are 3 partners in the deck, one of them can't be used as a commander for the deck because it will be the wrong colors, unless we have color overlap?

It was mentioned upthread that each deck would have 3 partners, 2 enemy-colored and one ally-colored (e.g. WUBR would have WB, UB, and UR partners). I assumed there was a source for that. If it's 4 legends of which 2 are partners then yeah 55 new commanders.

I feel like with how much commander happens across the world WOTC would put more into it. Even though I have personal stake in it at all, it seems pretty annoying to have as little support as it does. In other news, Kent and cardholder have been roasted pretty hard on reddit today. Some have put the situation in a very convincing light that Kent might eat a suspension for this. If you asked me if that was possible yesterday I wouldn't have believed it. Good.

I assumed there was a source for that. If that's the case, the UB partner in your example would not be able to be used as a commander in the WUBR deck because there is no corresponding WR one. Which is why I'm confused. There is no combination of three two-color dudes that all fit into the same four-color deck as commanders.

Didn't notice this before, but this wouldn't be an option anyway because the "partner" mechanic explicitly states that "you can have two commanders if both have 'partner.'" The Shortest Path posted:There is no combination of three two-color dudes that all fit into the same four-color deck as commanders. The allied one wouldn't be a commander in the precon deck (if things are as people are assuming), but that doesn't mean you can't make your own decks with any two partner commanders you want.

The format has as big a cardpool as you can get and they give it a yearly influx of Commander-specific decks. If you mean sanctioning the format I can see an argument that "legitimizing" it would go against its casual roots, but for as much as people complain about the Sheldon braintrust dictating the rules and banlist I would think that Wizards has the experience to do a better job with those topics (though people would still complain of course). And only crazy people would watch a sanctioned EDH tournament.

Previous iterations of commander also had legendary creatures in the decks that couldn't be your commander as is. It's not a big deal.

Dr. Stab posted:Previous iterations of commander also had legendary creatures in the decks that couldn't be your commander as is. It's not a big deal. Yeah but why put a specific legendary with an ability only useful in the command zone if you will never be able to use it as a commander in the base deck? Doesn't seem very likely. However, assuming they do allied coloured commanders next year, it would be cool if they added a secondary or tertiary commander with the partner ability, just to give more options. I don't think the chances of that are very likely, as I assume they want to keep the keyword within this 'block', but still...

EDH folks get way more support than cube folks when it comes to wotc casual support and cube is clearly the superior format. Though cubes usually get some good poo poo from the commander sets but this one is especially hostile to cube both in theory and the v limited amount of cards spoiled so far.

What? Oath's aren't worth much at all since they're banned in Legacy and aren't actually good in Vintage. The problem is that Oath also isn't good in EDH - you're just immediately the #1 target and there isn't a creature good enough make up for the fact that your opponents get first crack at their own creature while also keeping your Oath around long enough to get back to your own turn.
