The big difference between brass bounty and Halo stash is that the former gives you the treasures immediately, which I think makes it better in a lot of cases. The latter just feels like such a durdle card.

Immediately $50, then $75 after Sheldon writes an article about it.

More treasure generation! Cute with Dash, Unearth, the new mechanic Blitz, and pretty much just anything that can give all your creatures Haste.

I like it. A fairly straightforward and open ended commander that rewards aggro strategies.

That's what you get for not hailing to the chimp!



Halo Stash seems cute but bad at 6 mana. I’d much rather be in a scenario where I’m set up to abuse Brass’s Bounty, cast it then immediately get paid off vs casting Halo, waiting a turn then getting the Brass’s Bounty effect. I’m sure Halo Stash will have a place in casual commander token strategies but it’s not anywhere close to universally good enough to command a $50 price tag.

It's potentially game-winning if you want to use it that way, there's plenty of loops you can do like candelebra / disciple of vault / unwinding clock / and a 6 mana enchantment

But that's like 4 things. I think ideally you'd have the mana to cast it off treasures. It certainly could do some work in Chatterfang decks if you want and there's a lot of new sacrifice type things for Jund now in addition to Korvald.

A buddy of mine had an interesting-yet-lacking deck a couple years back built around subbing her out with ninjutsu after damage was dealt to avoid the "shuffle into deck" trigger, but it always ended up being too complicated and fragile for too little return.

More ways to add hit counters to creatures could certainly push it up into the "fun jank" category

Right. And I checked, Etrata only checks for the number of creatures in exile with hit counters on them. If you let her get some counters on them you can just Etrata in for the kill.

Yeah, I lost Game once because I figured I'd be safe letting her through once but didn't realize the alt win condition counted each creature individually in a mutant stack.

When we return to Dominaria, give me retro frames where you REALLY commit by making the type line for creatures “Summon _____” where nine times out of ten the blank is the full name of the creature.

An opponent chooses a dude in your yard and reanimates them under their control. The creature gains Haste and is Goaded. Exile it at the beginning of the next end step.

There's more words that I can't read, but that's the gist of it.

{T}: Target opponent whose turn it is puts target nonlegendary creature card from your graveyard onto the battlefield under their control. It gains haste. Goad it. At the beginning of the next end step, exile it.

So now that preorders for New Capenna stuff are available, I was hoping for a bit of info on the different types of boosters, specifically draft vs. set. I'm already planning on buying a collector booster box, probably one commander deck, and then a box of either the draft/set boosters.

I've read this link to get a sense for them, but I dunno, I guess.. I still don't see a large difference between the two? Is The List cards in the set boosters the biggest draw for them? There are more rare possibilities from the set boosters but at the tradeoff of the basic lands, right? Do the triome lands count as 'basic lands' or would those be rare cards?

Someone please help me budget this, my family is starvingin Halo withdrawal!

I guess I just need to decide if I'm going to buy both a set and a booster, or just one or the other. Buying both will probably zero out my cardboard budget for the rest of the year, since I've gone kinda ham recently, but also I love all of the everything of New Capenna so... :psyduck:
