It means if your opponent steals the creature several turns later, you don't have to remember whether it came into play via Chainer's ability or not.

It's this.

Remember that these are cards designed with multiplayer games in mind.

I was actually somewhat intrigued by the new Chainer until I realized it was only once per turn. Otherwise, this Madness deck looks like it would benefit from Patriarch's Bidding, but I'm sure Wizards is too cowardly to reprint it in a commander deck.

My point is that there shouldn't be "Commander" cards, just like there are no Draft, Standard or Pauper cards. It's lazy design.

There absolutely are draft cards, unless you're running the 3 mana conditional bolts and 5 mana black removal sorceries and green common vanilla 7/7 beaters and poo poo in constructed. Very conservatively half the cards in every set are draft cards.

Making Chainer red feels weird to me. His entire novel was about using black mana!

I think it's supposed to be young Chainer, testing his abilities, before he was the Cabal's stalwart. So the red is more character flavor.

Use it in a multiplayer game during the player to your left's turn to get another turn. If you can make copies indefinitely, you can permanently lock almost everyone out of the game.

You'd really only be locking the poor guy across from you out of the game. Lefty and righty get one turn for each of your two turns.

If you make two copies a turn, you can lock two players out of the game. It’s hard to do, but the definition of a feel bad/npr card.

This + Prototype Portal + Unwinding Clock (since it enters tapped). But I'm already doing this in my Memnarch deck with Ugin's Nexus to take infinite turns, which is way better.

I don't know if this the right thread but I had a loving amazing game last night.

I was playing Temur Elementals vs. Orzhov Ajani deck. They got their Ajanis out and started pumping them, I got lucky and got Omnath and Reef out and was pumping both of them. He got the flooring B/W Happy creature that pumps with life gain and started loving me up. I got a 12/12 Krasis out only for it to be pacified, I got a 13/13 Krasis out the next round only for it to be pacified. I ended up milling myself out. Dude had 26 life. I ended up playing 2 Chandras and making GBS threads out 2 Elementals. I played basically every Elena card I had until I had only 4 Mana left. I played a new Omnath and did 22 points of damage, then Shock x2 to win.

It was a loving awesome game.

They're good decks for anyone who doesn't have a huge collection and needs staples and/or a decent base to start with as a build-up project deck. But for anyone who's as invested as anyone who posts in this thread, yeah, just buy the singles you want unless you need enough that buying the full deck would be cheaper/more convenient.

On topic, it's absolutely the laziest thing in the world that the official decklist site doesn't have the new cards in it. "Note that our system won't be updated with the new cards, so all you'll have is a name to go on." Holy poo poo you are the web team, spend ten minutes to code the new cards onto the page, they're already on the card image gallery.

The thing is, the set sucks even if you want to buy singles. Look at Commander sets starting a few years ago and go back to the first one. Each of them has at least a few cards that are seen constantly in either competitive pods or casual pods. Last year's was a turd and so far this year's is barely any better.

So much for making up for the year where they raised the prices and printed worse cards. I guess at least this year they "only" printed bad cards.

Waste Not is a build around card, but it's a super spicy one. I'm a fan.

It also only costs 1B and is harder to remove than a creature.

Why would you ever play Bone Miser over it? It costs way more.

Bone miser triggers off your own discards so its way easier to set up desired effects

This is true but waste not affects all your opponents. Like Aranan said, it's fun with wheels for that reason-- it's huge value for a small enchantment but you need to build around it.

Every time I see Goatse, I think of Maureen. That's the last thing I saw. Before I blacked out. The sight of that man's anus.

It's really hard to build around individual cards in commander that aren't you commander because it's 1 card out of 100 (Even if tutors can increase that number to 3 or 4 out of 100) and most people pack non creature permanent removal because of lack of sideboards, and are more likely to draw it because the games are much longer.

This is why you should always play Sidisi and just tutor whenever you want.

Lipstick Apathy
You typically wouldn't build around an individual card. You can build around a strategy though, and packing your deck full of Wheels is not bad when cards like Waste Not, Notion Thief, new Narset, Smothering Tithe, etc exist. Granted, none of these work well at the same time but they're all great wheel enhancers.

Combine that with graveyard recursion like Yawgmoth's Will/Mnemonic Betrayal and commanders like Kess and you have a ton of value to work with.
