Top Quality MTG Cards, Tournament Playable
A card that saw early buzz during The Lost Caverns of Ixalan previews is Dauntless Dismantler, which forces opponents’ artifact cards to enter play tapped. While it’s clear being able to tap down Sol Rings, Mana Crypts, and Arcane Signets as they enter play is decent, you can also tap down those Map, Clue, Blood, […]
Perhaps one of my favorite budget cards to run in Commander is Public Enemy, and another card from Streets of New Capenna that is underrated in Commander. Public Enemy is a fantastic card if you want to force the table to deal with a problematic threat, encouraging awkward attacks that can further your game plan. […]
An all-star in a Tasha, the Witch Queen Commander build of mine is Cunning Rhetoric from Commander 2021 and Commander: Outlaws of Thunder Junction, an enchantment that does make the opponent think twice when it comes to attacking you or a Planeswalker you control. If an opponent does attack you, the opponent reveals the top […]
Sometimes, Standard cards can be good in Commander! While The Celestus is fighting amongst other three mana value mana-generating artifacts in Commander such as Chromatic Lantern and Decanter of Endless Water, The Celestus does have card draw and discard baked in that’s worth considering. Sure, you’re not going to get the most value out of […]
Despite March of the Machine: The Aftermath being a bit of a dud release, there are some underrated cards such as Cosmic Rebirth, which is seeing some Modern and Pioneer play. However, there’s merit to running Cosmic Rebirth in a Selensya or multicolor Commander strategy as you can recur a permanent card back onto the […]
Sometimes, you just want to be rewarded for casting massive creatures, and Sarkhan’s Unsealing offers this in abundance. Granted, it’s situational depending on the build, but this Core Set 2019 card can be devastating with Commanders such as Rakdos, Lord of Riots and Maelstrom Wanderer at the helm. Being able to deal four damage to […]
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 […]
