Kess, Dissident Mage does the same thing. If I recall correctly, people were saying it would let you get Buyback spells into your hand?

Thats correct, also spells like Narset's Reversal can take advantage of it.

how would you guys go about building an uro deck? for mid to high powered tables. I was thinking ramp, fogs, card draw, some interaction and then win with casting a lot of walk the eons and playing lands from my graveyard.

Uro's mostly a blank card, but if I was forced to use him, I'd probably want to lean into Greater Good and definitely not fogs and other durdles.

And then just ramp into a Rude Awakening/Sylvan Awakening or something? UG can only really win through beats, right? And I guess Thoracle/Jace/LabMan.

And when I say reprint equity, I don't mean the 700th reprint of Sol Ring.

I mean the resounding absence of Branching Evolution, a popular on-theme, on-color card that has never been reprinted since it came out in Jumpstart.

Yikes the Naya deck blows. I like the two new commanders, but that's all I care about from that one.

Naya needs a Lorehold-style makeover. I like Cabaretti from an aesthetic sense and I prefer go-wide to go-tall, but surely there's a different design space for the colors than "make big/many dudes and swing".

The knight deck is better but it's still not very exciting.

The knights deck has a lot of good reprints, and the other one has a couple of neat new cards AND they both have fewer than 40 lands, so that's good

But why the gently caress are they putting temple of the false god in precons again, I thought they learned that lesson

Adeline saw play in Worlds and is worth $10, that counts as a good reprint in my book. It also scales in commander as its trigger is per opponent.

90% of games don't have you play a 4th land?

It's a 20 life format card. It has no practical value in EDH. I guess if you pock up the precon, you could trade/sell it before ut rotates out of standard and the bottom falls out, but that's not exactly a glowing review for precon inclusion.

EDH is played with basically the Legacy card pool. Your deck should be doing a lot on turns 1-3 and a dead tapland isn't where you eant to be.

:stare: Jesus y'all weren't kidding on the tap lands. Why the hell don't they print out the lairs more often? They're perfectly serviceable cheap and their only drawback is making you return a non lair land back to your hand before end of turn.

Also whoever was asking about other Prosper led deck wins, uhhh Thespian Stage, Dark Depths, grafted exoskeleton, and loxodon warhammer? Also Elbrus, The Binding Blade if you want to pull out something with flying and trample once it has dealt a player damage.

Edit: https://scryfall.com/card/pls/143/trevas-ruins?utm_source=mw_MTGWiki

Just to be clear a tri land that does not come into play tapped that bounces a non lair land back to your hand is trash as far as an inexpensive way to mana fix with 3 or more colors on a deck. Ooook

Because they are some of the worst, most useless lands ever printed from a wildly unpopular set and people actually recoil visibly when they look at them?

Yes, almost all of the marquee stuff in the set (gating, land sac kicker, Planeswalker enchantments, lairs) went over with such a wet fart it reminded people of Prophecy, and the good stuff (Chant, Flametongue, Meddling Mage) was absolutely oppressive to casuals (and flametongue just warped standard completely). It was real bad and only the rest of the block being absolutely amaxing carried it.

Adeline is an inoffensive card that's good in some decks. I can't hate on it too hard when it sees some cEDH play.

The white-black artifact-themed Phyrexian deck got spoiled and it doesn't seem particularly great either.

So far I'm really not impressed. I'm glad most of the new cards are overpriced do-little cards so I don't really feel inclined to buy the deck for them. Commanders tend to be fairly cheap from their respective decks so they'll be easy to pick up. So far the knight deck looks decently playable, but it's still very meh.


I feel like they're holding back so they can make the Commander Masters decks the big hitters of the year.

Yeah that's more than likely what's going to happen, which makes the LOTR Precon decks coming out even less appealing considering the window of time between both of those sets.

Shalai and Hallar kinda loving rules as a commander. You can build it as a go-wide, go-tall, combo, or all three, and you're in the best colors to facilitate creature strategies. They are pretty much insta-wins with The Red Terror or Heliod, Sun-Crowned, both of which are tutored up/evolved into fairly easily.

The only thing I wish was different was that it could ping creatures too.

The precon sux but I am really digging the commander.
