Top Quality MTG Cards, Tournament Playable
Perhaps one of my favorite budget cards to run in Commander is Public Enemy, and one that always forces the opponents to read the card because it just doesn’t see that much play often. From Streets of New Capenna, Public Enemy is a fantastic card if you want to force the table to defeat a […]
From Modern Horizons 2 is Out of Time, an Enchantment that offers an interesting way to remove all creatures from play for a period of time. Featuring an old keyword in Vanishing, Out of Time allows you to phase the board of each creature on the battlefield and add a Time counter for each creature […]
Seeing a much-needed reprint in Time Spiral Remastered is Heartwood Storyteller, a Treefolk that offers a Group Hug approach in Commander. For each time a player casts a noncreature spell, each of that player’s opponents may draw a card, allowing you to subtly punish players who aren’t putting out creatures during a game in Commander. […]
Soltari Visionary is a weird one. Shadow is an old keyword ability that means an attacking creature with Shadow can only be blocked by a defending creature with Shadow, and a defending creature with Shadow can only block an attacking creature with Shadow. Essentially, the Shadow creature is unblockable due to the lack of Shadow […]
Sweepers are a crucial part of Commander where White often has the best answers in Wrath of God and the recently printed Sunfall from March of the Machine. However, Black can accommodate with board wipes such as the iconic Damnation and Toxic Deluge, but these options can be somewhat expensive to a budget-minded player. Languish […]
Wheel effects in Commander are often desirable as they offer a soft reset but can be back-breaking in the correct strategy. Ruin Grinder is an excellent option for those who love playing Artifacts in Commander, especially paired with an effect such as Trash for Treasure, where you can gain even more value by returning another […]
Commander continues to be one of the most popular and accessible Magic: The Gathering formats around, with hundreds of different ways to express yourself within the singleton format. Given the breadth of cards and releases these days, it’s impossible to keep up with all the new cards that see print, and in some cases, you […]
They say cards that give your opponents a choice are bad, because your opponents will always pick the option that’s the worst for you and best for them. Well, when the choice is between Mind Control or Time Walk, good luck making a choice that’s bad for your opponent! Expropriate – especially when copied – […]
No one likes having their stuff stolen (except for Zedruu players, I suppose, and who knows what’s going on with them), and Tergrid, God of Fright steals things in a way that feels particularly frustrating. While your opponent sits there, a smug grin on their face as they cast their Smallpoxes and Dark Deals, all […]
Being prevented from casting your commander in a game of, well, Commander can be absolutely infuriating. It’s not always a problem, as some Commander decks are able to function without their general on the field, but when you’ve built a deck around your commander’s abilities, having it locked in the command zone thanks to Drannith […]
