Bloom Tender is incredibly powerful and I would highly recommend getting one for any green deck that can consistently get 3+ colors of permanents onto the board by turn 3.

I believe this might be the list. It looks fun! drat that looks awesome. I love how over time there's become such a high density of extremely powerful hatebears that a deck like this is not only possible but very viable.

Party Miser posted:I've got a Marchesa deck that probably could use some recommendations for what should obviously be stealing and sacking people's stuff. i didn't realize how scattered my mana artifacts were until i dropped it in moxfield, and the big money cards are old holdovers I've owned for a long time. https://www.moxfield.com/decks/7IfCLzvONUqQEtTHulA96w More and better free repeatable sacrifice outlets are a good start for a deck like this. Carrion Feeder and Goblin Bombardment are a good start, Bloodflow Connoisseur not so much. My recommended adds are Ashnod's Altar, Yahenni Undying Partisan, and Viscera Seer. Phyrexian Altar is another great pickup but is pretty expensive. You can also replace some of your mediocre draw spells and less effective creatures with cards like Deadly Dispute, Altar's Reap, Costly Plunder, etc. These do double duty of drawing you cards while also being instant speed sacrifice to protect a creature from getting exiled, bounced, etc. if you don't have one of your repeatable sac outlets online. As a bonus these are all cheap commons.

Aranan posted:Toxrill is a generic dimir deck (so baseline is already solid) which means it has a pretty good turbo adnaus/thoracle plan. It also allows you to run the dramatic scepter combo with Toxrill being the outlet. Actually casting and swinging with Toxrill is Plan C or D at absolute best, but that's still a decent fallback case because it eats hatebears alive, gives you card advantage, and is a decent clock. I can't really see what he does better in cEDH than Thrasios with any Bx partner. The amount of games where you cast him and keep him around for his abilities and body seem like they'd make up a vanishingly small amount compared to the massive versatility you gain by going into Thrasios+Partner

Railing Kill posted:I need ideas for a RB commander. It is my everlasting shame as someone who usually played red Sligh and suicide black back in standard and extended in the 90's that I haven't found a RB commander that clicks with me yet. I guess it doesn't need to be aggro, but that would just be a bonus. Anything interesting would do. I recently tried Strefan Maurer but found it underwhelming compared to Edgar Markov. I also tried a Kardur artifact deck that just isn't working. I might be overthinking that one and should just try it some more, but I'm also shopping for a RB commander that really pops. Grenzo is one of my all-time faves. Gives some otherwise terrible cards a great place to shine, and it plays like no other deck.

Heath posted:How so? You used to be able to move him into the command zone with his ability and have it still return him to the battlefield. This made it so that if anyone played a Stifle effect or something like that on his return trigger, he'd still be able to be recast from the command zone. Now you have to keep him in exile, so if his return trigger gets disrupted by anything he's permanently gone for the rest of the game.

# ¿ Jan 26, 2022 20:24 |

Heath posted:His exile and return trigger are all one trigger. You either interrupt the whole thing or you don't. If you cast Stifle on him while he's still on the battlefield he triggers again and that goes on top of the stack so it will fizzle. If you stifle the exile ability, he will never leave in the first place. That's not correct. His ability creates a delayed trigger that occurs at the end step, which goes on the stack and can be interacted with. 603.7 in the comprehensive rules.

It's how a lot of effects like that work, anything which exiles and returns at the end step sets up a delayed trigger which can be interacted with. Roon of the Hidden Realm is a good example, I used to play him as a commander and included Voidslime and Trickbind for that reason. That's actually a lot stronger now that it can permanently remove commanders, maybe I'll look into rebuilding that deck...

Heath posted:Three devastating triggers on ETB, on attacks, and on death are disappointing because they don't hit everybody? Making one of your three opponents discard 3 or less cards and then later having them sac half their nonland permanents is not enough for 7 mana. Milling half their library helps them more often than it hurts. This guy is not good.

Heath posted:Is this what power creep does to people, where they won't even get out of bed for a creature in the command zone that doesn't just either win the game outright or at least lock everybody else out of the game for seven Mana? It's not difficult at all to get 7 (or more) Mana pretty early on in Commander. That's hardly a prohibitive cost. Compare him to the other things you can do for 7 mana, even 5+ years ago. His death ability is decent but that's basically it.

The problem with him is that he doesn't actually do anything in this format. Making one opponent discard half their hand rounded down of their choosing is a minor inconvenience for one of your three opponents, and they will keep all of their most relevant cards. This barely impacts anyone especially if they're in a winning position. You can't leverage his body offensively because his second ability actively helps quite a lot of decks, and even if you can safely attack he has no evasion. His death trigger is the only decent ability, and even it is only an inconvenience. It slows one person down by getting rid of some of their mana rocks or tokens, but cannot eliminate any real threats. He costs seven mana and in no way advances you toward winning the game, or even provides meaningful cover for you to develop other means of winning the game. If he at least hit all opponents that would give you some breathing room in like a control deck, but even then I honestly don't think he would be worth playing over any of the other Grixis commanders that see a lot of play. He doesn't even have any kind of fun synergy with other cards or an archetype to build around. He just paints a target on your own head because he looks a lot scarier than he actually is.
