Retromancer posted:I would proudly jam UB zombies with this in EDH if it weren't for the fact that UB is a dreadful color combination in EDH. UB is the second best 2-color pair in the format. This guy is probably the best option for a zombie tribal commander now, and he might be decent in standard too. Obviously an absolute house in limited.

Voyager I posted:UB is fine in EDH? Obviously it'd be better if you also got removal for noncreature permanents, but that's basically the only thing you can't do and U has enough powerful bounce effects that to fake removal when you really need it. yeah there's nothing wrong with UB in EDH, just play combo-control

You already for a hot take? BFZ and KLD story bad, but amonkhet good? E: to be clear, i dont think any magic story is actively good, though some of the one-shots have been perfectly acceptable. I enjoyed Yahenni's first appearance for example.

Honestly it captures a real horror feeling way better than return to innistrad did imo, even if you can see it coming a mile away the idea of everyone waiting for eternity and a glorious afterlife & then just being presented with an endless wasteland is a cool, resonant image

I kept reading the Amonkhet stories only because I kept hoping that maybe this week there would be actual plot instead of interminable character studies. The Samut stories gave me that plot but also highlighted how loving useless the Gatewatch had been for the past six weeks.

Then the story was lame and the best part is when they turned to Liliana for something and she was inside a wurm.

The Amonkhet gods were generally all pretty boring. All of the HOU ones have been cool as hell. Clearly, Bolas took the cream of the crop here.

 Djeru the Purified - 3WW (R) Legendary creature - Human Warrior - 4/3 Vigilance When ~ enters the battlefield you may search your library for a Planeswalker card, reveal it and put it into your hand. Shuffle your library afterwards. If a source would deal damage to a Planeswalker you control, prevent 1 of that damage.

I'm going to GP Birminghan with my other half, and am starting to be tempted to play the main event. Do i take lantern control, or do i loan it to her, and build a gimmick deck like 7 land belcher, or Toshiro Orchard?

Claim brings back death's shadow, so maybe it will find it's way into that deck?

I was wondering if they were going to do an Unearth type of card. Obviously actual Unearth would be a bit insane with Rogue Refiner and Tireless Tracker, but this feels just about right. This seems powerful enough to spawn a cheap BR or BX/r creature deck, and the aftermath might enable a card like Combat Celebrant to finally see play. Just remains to be seen if it has a bigger impact on standard or modern. I mean this thing gets back Bob, Goyf, Death's Shadow, Vizier and Devoted Druid, and the aftermath seems highly relevant.

Seems like it could see play in Mardu Vehicles? Wouldn't be surprised to see some kind of Jund Aggro list popping up, either.

I don't think Mardu is the right shell for that type of card, compared to say, G/B Energy, because while getting back a 3/4 Elephant or a Longtusk Cub, a Snake etc is pretty good, the only 2 drop you want to get back in Mardu is Veteran Motorist. Then you have the issue of what do you cut for it, since that deck is already streamlined, and half the time you want your creatures in the yard anyway to feed scrounger.

I guess we've gone from 1-cost mana dorks, to 2-cost mana dorks, to 2-cost mana dorks that you can only use every other turn.

After mulling on it a bit, I'm unconvinced on Claim to Fame making it into DS. The obvious comparison point is Kolaghan's Command, since both are 1BR spells that bring back a creature for value. Especially in Grixis, I suspect KoCo's versatility and power beat out Claim's speed. It has a better chance in Jund I think because Jund is a more aggressive build, but I'm not convinced. If I actually played Death's Shadow decks, I would test it, but I'm not convinced. It's interesting to note that you can split it up and that it gives you a bit of potential extra value off of edm Lili though.
