I hate Narset, Enlightened Master more than anything, so being able to banish her to the shadow realm is nice.

And you can hit your own if you wanna bounce yours for whatever reason like it has a good etb or it's been stolen, like sanctum of eternity.

It's narrow but it's a good niche to fill, I think.

We have a guy that occasionally shows up and plays Narset. Everyone knows to immediately go after him because his deck just straight out wins if he gets to attack with Narset once.
It's part of the reason why innocent blood has been fairly popular in our lgs. And it'll probably be why this will be too

It's kind of a weird design to push in EDH, honestly - you've got a Commander that's kinda slow and doesn't do anything by itself, but also loudly announces "I'm going to gently caress the world" as soon as it resolves, which almost forces the table to hate you into the stone age and not let you do anything fun - the alternative, of course, being them letting themselves get hazed by you doing something completely unreasonable.

it's kind of impossible to have a fair deck with it in it unless literally every card is like, a vanilla beater since cost reduction is so powerful

They've become allergic to announcements again so maybe but they're big on arbitrary yearly slots and that part of the year has passed

The deck is fun, and is definitely powerful enough for a modern format without hogaak. I did happen to find two sideboard holes last night: amulet and druid combo, which are just not played online. Im swapping some sideboard stuff around and think that those will be fine now post board. Game 1 relies on finding a path very soon, which is a coinflip.

https://www.mtggoldfish.com/deck/2152449#paper



This was the list last night, I'm going to change it like this:
MB -1 Noble Hierarch -1 Renegade Rallier +1 Deputy of Detention +1 Eternal Witness
SB -1 Disdainful Stroke -1 Deputy of Detention +1 Pithing Needle +1 Celestial Purge

Trotting out BW tokens again today. It's a fun deck that does well against out new jund overlords but eats poo poo against our other tron overlords. Would it be worth cutting a Sorin for a one of Elspeth knight errant or putting Kaya's guile in the main?

Even the bwtokens4life.com guy has given up on tokens :(

I would try Guile. Maindeckable GY hate could be good.

I really doubt it. Tron doesn't seem like a deck that is looking to make extra land drops in the mid to late game, it already gets 7 mana from 3 lands. I also don't think tron is looking to loop any lands from the graveyard, it already has inevitability against every pauper deck, and I don't think it's even running a land that sacrifices itself for an effect, like cave of temptation or haunted fengraf, anymore.

"Life is a maze. This is one of its dead ends.


Tron already doesn't play the stupid sloth from standard which I'm pretty sure is a common? An extra 3 mana to get a land back from your graveyard seems almost 100% irrelevant.

It’s essentially a kill spell that doesn’t trip death triggers, gets through their boots/greaves, doesn’t care about indestructible/protection, and forces them to pay another tax. It’s much better than repulse.
