Ok, my math is probably off but I think I figured it out.

Ral, Storm Conduit, Twinning Staff and Thousand-Year Storm in play

Ral -2, cast Repeated Reverberation (x3)

In response, cast Expansion (x3) with RR on the stack

21 copies of Repeated Reverberation resolve

Cast Mind's Desire, copying it 66(?) times

Play your whole deck for free, win

Thwart is definitely a combat trick to be aware of, if your opponent swings their board into even or bad trades with 3 open.

e: Also, Fluctuator + Astral Slide could be a deck.

The reason for this is that Fluctuator in standard would be completely bonkers in a no fun kinda way, like the last time Fluctuator was in standard.

If you're talking about Astral Drift, it was originally printed in Modern Horizons. This is a reprint of it in the Commander product.

This seems powerful on paper but I guess the kind of deck that wants to kill tapped creatures probably doesn't have many of its own creatures to tap. Nice board in against more aggressive decks though.

there's a rare blue variant in ikoria that is much worse

Irony Be My Shield
Jul 29, 2012

It's worse as a fair card but the fact that you get your thing back immediately rather than at end of turn means its more exploitable for one-turn nonsense.

I am going to figure out a way to take this and Thassa and make people miserable with Agent of Treachery.




Speaking of, I'm finding the "challenge" to the arena cube, such as it is having such an embarrassment of riches that you avoid the temptation to go 4/5 colour goodstuff and figure out which bombs are bombiest. Blue feels incredibly powerful: In a battle of bombs, control magic effects are pretty nuts. I had a guy who thought he was going to just brutalize me with Helm of the Host on Hypnotic Specter till I Agented away the Helm and put it on Agent. :v:

A bad slide in a better color in a format with Neutralize is still better than no slide at all.

Noting that this is just Flash, not Instants or things you cast with Teferi or anything like that. So it doesn't reduce the cost of any counterspells, for example.

But still, curving this on turn 2 into a turn 3 Nightpack Ambusher is kinda scary.

It is, but it doesn't seem super worth it if the only cards you're reducing are Ambusher and Brazen Borrower. Maybe you could do a more creature heavy build.
