So Command Zone is doing a bit more math in their precon upgrade guides this time around and I kinda wish they did this for the LOTR ones, but can understand it more when this set coming out is more reprint focused than newer cards. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XvLWezTXjMk&t=1169s It's timestamped to the section about the dollar value of the deck, and were able to basically figure out how much per US Dollar spent you are getting for, in this instance The Sliver precon. Mainly due to the fact that most of these decks are going for anywhere between $82 - $114. If you're specifically looking at the Sliver precon on Amazon, it's $114 for a pre-order which means you'd be getting LESS than what the video is positing. It's about a six minute segment but goddamn PER DOLLAR spent on this loving deck is $1.92 at an $80 price vs previous precon averages ranging from $2.38 - $2.60 that are supposed to go from around $40.

I tried to get my pre-order of the four decks refunded but the store would only give me a aprtial refund so I went gently caress it, that'll teach me.

River Song looks like a fun commander, I always wanted a draw from bottom ability!

 I wonder if this is playable in cEDH. Castable on turn 1 with a Jeweled Lotus and can draw a lot of cards if you call the right number. Also in UB for Thoracle combo lines.

Nymris is the new hotness in cEDH right now (after people saying it wasn't good enough for a while), so I think a similar card that costs less could stand a chance. Talion almost feels like another Rhystic Study so it's cool.

I do like how Moonshaker continues the historical trend of white getting a card functionally similar to it's green counterpart but markedly worse due to that tiny functional difference.

It'd be fine but eight mana is a lot, you're basically only going to be able to cast it in WG and then you have better options. Nice budget option though, or will be after prerelease hype.

My opinion is that it's a totally serviceable card that white just... doesn't need. White has plenty of other ways to get overrun/pump effects, and unlike green white can't consistently tutor this out as an 8 CMC creature. Some W/X decks will love this, but the majority of mono-white and 3+ color decks will quickly find out that the support just really isn't there. How many decks want this to replace Cathar Crusade, Akroma's Will, or Mirror Entity? It's not that this card is weaker than craterhoof in a vacuum; craterhoof just has a lot better cards in it's color that support it as an endgame finisher. That said I'm toying with the idea of a mono-white bigstuff reanimator deck and I suspect that moonshaker will slot in very nicely there.

Craterhoof is good because it has haste. If Moonshaker (I want to call this thing "Moonraker" so badly! Pew pew pew pew!) was green, it'd still be worse.

What would want this that doesn't already get craterhoof? I can't think of anything that would be able to get an 8 drop and have enough guys on the ground to make the pump big but isn't green. It's not only competing with Craterhoof, but also Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite, as a big white power swing. You don't beat Elesh Norn easily.

That's a fair take. That said, the number of mono-white creatures with haste is exactly one (just Akroma) so unfortunately that just wasn't going to happen.

The only realistic options I can come up with are G/W mostly-token decks that want both for redundancy, W or W/U blink shenanigans, and W or W/B reanimator.

Yeah I'm not sure what deck would actually care about White Hoof other than some GW deck that could use a Chord effect for Hoof but instead tosses out White Hoof to like barely manage to squeak though the damage from swinging they need to end the game and even then I'm sure the Haste on Hoof just makes it like a 1/100 chance of this being the actual correct play instead of just grabbing hoof classic.

I think flicker decks could make good use of it as a wincon. My Ranar deck will probably love it.

I'd like to try it out in the Esper Knight Tribal precon. See what other shenanigans I can find out with UB to play around with. Is there a spell in black that gives all your creatures Shadow till end of turn?

No, but you can give them either Horsemanship or Fear with a creature/enchantment respectively.

It's a great budget option for a lot of decks that can't afford craterhoof.
