This commander mechanic in standard is gonna be extremely controversial I think. Godzilla looks cool, counters that give keyword abilities are cool.

quote:You can have up to one chosen companion for each game. That chosen companion doesn't start in your main deck. Rather, it's a card in your sideboard. (If you're playing casually without sideboards, it's just in your collection outside the game. All the same rules apply to it.) This means it doesn't count as a card toward meeting the minimum deck size in the format you're playing, but in Constructed formats, it is one of your fifteen sideboard cards. Just before the game begins, reveal your chosen companion to all players. Once during the game, you may cast your chosen companion from your sideboard. Doing so follows all the normal rules for casting a creature spell, so do so only during your main phase. I guess I spoke too soon. It's still an 8th card in your hand and I still think it's a huge mistake to add it to constructed but at least the rules for it seem as sane as they can be.

Is it supposed to be like revealing a morph except your opponent has to fan out their deck after the match?

One thing I noticed, if a creature cast with mutate tries to resolve and it's target becomes illegal for some reason, it just resolves as it's own creature rather than your opponent getting an 8 for one.

Here's the planeswalker's guide, which has some nice art. Also mentions Narset, who Tainen posted a card for a few months back, I think. Also, Otter!

Since the restriction on Keruga, the Macrosage is a very big shift in deckbuilding, I imagine playing a janky mess is how you verify it. If you cheat in a Disdainful Stroke it's not like you can play it without giving up the gig, after all.

It's the same as the regular deckbuilding requirements, if someone has a 5-of in their deck you most likely also won't find out.

quote:So, the companions are legendary creatures who begin outside your starting deck and have great influence over the rest of your deck. Where have I heard this before? Ah yes, Commander. Commander players, even though you don't have sideboards, you can still get in on the fun. Each Commander deck may include a chosen companion. It starts outside the game and doesn't count as one of your 100 cards. Just like the rest of your deck, your commander must follow the deck-building rule if you're going to use a companion.

I mean not to join in with the doom-saying, but I can think of several deck-requirement cards from a few card games (HS being the obvious examples but also Hydralander in Yu-Gi-Oh) that ended up being meta.
