It's cute, but that thing has no hooves. Edit: maybe it does, I missed it's spindly legs and thought it was floating for some reason.

The Mind Flayer is actually really funnily bad to me. Like the cards are not made to be particularly pushed or anything, Dustin has cheaper analogues, and Lucas's ability is kind of weak. but those can be excused to some extent since they're paired commanders that have 2 colors and you can build around. The Mind Flayer wants to be a 7 mana "draw 1 extra card per turn for each opponent" effect. At a baseline draw an extra card per turn effects that scale up tend to cost 5 (Curse of Surveillance, Honden of Seeing Winds), with black of course having the really popular Phyrexian Arena and Underworld Connections at 3 for non-scaling ones (Connections does need 1 extra mana each turn). But then Mind Flayer doesn't actually draw you a card each turn effectively. In fact, if it could play stolen lands then it'd be much closer to drawing an extra card per opponent per turn, but it doesn't do that. It only allows casting permanent spells, meaning for even the most creature heavy decks this is like drawing half an extra card per turn. In most cases it'll be drawing like 0.3-0.4 cards per turn per opponent, which becomes extremely crappy on a 7 mana card. And it also makes the payoff significantly harder to achieve as well. Finally, looking at the payoff, you get a 9/9 vanilla creature. In a lot of ways this actually ends up being worse than just having the enchantment, as it now becomes vulnerable to creature removal, and has no evasion or any way to protect itself. This is where they could have put a really flavorful ability that protects/reanimates itself by sacrificing the stolen permanents or something, but nope. Just a 9/9 vanilla that can be chumped freely and does nothing more if you actually achieve the condition, which the triggered ability again does a really poor job of doing in normal cases.

I'm obviously not experienced much with Magic but this is the first card I've seen that pulls from the bottom of opponents' decks. Aside from the thematic quality (the upside-down place), doesn't this alter the deal a bit, e.g., when someone mulligans they put their discard on the bottom, and certain other card effects also have you stick stuff at the bottom of your deck? Obviously as soon as you have even one deck shuffle effect that goes out the window, and you can't exactly get the flayer card out quickly, so maybe it's irrelevant. Mostly though I think it's the theme. The monster draws from the upside-down place, first you get attacked by corruptions of your own people, and then eventually it breaks through into the world and attacks you directly. Compared to the weaker themes in the mechanics of the various Friends, this seems more connected to the monster's flavor.

One's a big thumb, the other is a bright blue fish with wings and the third is a big lego man. Snapcaster's just a Dude

If they let you draw from the bottom of your own deck it'd be abusable, I bet. There's effects where cards go to the bottom of the library because the designer wanted for sure for you to not find that card again easily. But since it's your opponents' decks I don't think it's that significant, other than changing the way your opponents decide to scry.

Yeah, unfortunately, Black doesn't have too many "bottom of deck" effects https://scryfall.com/search?as=grid&order=name&q=oracle%3Abottom+color%3DB I love the flavor, but I'm having trouble coming up with combos it could be abused with as a commander

Put all of the broken cards in a deck with a mana base you can't afford, duh. I am almost done crafting all of my Pathways. Will probably do Shocks next. I don't really play historic, and only do constructed for dailies, though. But like all formats, I figured that as long as I have a good mana base I can play whatever. Been enjoying Jump In and the Harvestide event. Jump In packa have 8 lands each, a big improvement over 9 lands in Jumpstart. The curves seem better as well. Some of the Jumpstart packs have way too many 5-drops. waffles beyond waffles fucked around with this message at 04:59 on Oct 17, 2021 |

FWIW I took a little break from grinding in Historic because it got boring but post-JS I've spruced up my old Jund Sacrifice/Bolas' Citadel deck and it's doing great on the ladder. It's very flexible, and I haven't seen many other people playing it, so a lot of players don't seem to know how to combat its slipperiness. It has a remarkable ability to pick apart most creature-based decks. Decklist: 4 Mayhem Devil (WAR) 204 4 Darkbore Pathway (KHM) 254 4 Prosperous Innkeeper (AFR) 200 1 Swamp (AFR) 273 4 Gilded Goose (ELD) 160 4 Bolas's Citadel (WAR) 79 4 Woe Strider (THB) 123 1 Phyrexian Tower (JMP) 493 4 Overgrown Tomb (GRN) 253 4 Shambling Ghast (AFR) 119 2 Blood Crypt (RNA) 245 4 Priest of Forgotten Gods (RNA) 83 2 Yawgmoth, Thran Physician (MH1) 116 3 Blightstep Pathway (KHM) 252 3 Blooming Marsh (KLR) 280 4 Cragcrown Pathway (ZNR) 261 4 Llanowar Elves (M19) 314 4 Collected Company (AKR) 186 Dropping a citadel, flooding the board with creatures, and then using citadel's ability + Mayhem Devil to blow away your opponent will never not be fun, especially when your opponent has you on your back foot.
