Somebody suggested that the player on the draw gets to look at the top card before making their mulligan decision. It gives you extra information without actually altering the normal start-of-game process.

Ok, but then you accept that those more widely usable cards will be poached by midrange/control decks sometimes.

But then you're carving off a great chunk of space in your Cube for cards that only fit in one category of decks.

I really like Raid. I'm surprised it hasn't been made already tbh.

I've done this a lot Saffi EriksdotterMulldrifter

'slightly above Necropolis Regent' Elspeth SC isn't up there with Jace or its younger sibling, but it's powerful in a fun way and can't be cheated into play in the 'lol T3 Reanimate my Grave Titan' sense

I'm constantly surprised by how little talk I hear about Sarkhan Vol. I get that, depending on what you're trying to do, it might not be the best 2RG card or even the best RG planeswalker, but the card is terrifying. If you're relying on a single creature to hold the fort, Sarkhan just ends the...

A nice compromise is cheap, sorcery-speed removal. That's why I'm a big fan of Oust - you can get a turn of value from your big guy, but then the opponent can answer it and play something else in the same turn to get back to parity.

yeah I'm torn on Silence/Sever myself

How has nobody mentioned Goblin Bushwhacker (or my beloved Haze of Rage) yet?

THAT'S FIRE AMBUSH TO YOU

Birthing Pod is the perfect card to Squadron, in any deck where it's good it's the card you most want to draw and taking additional Pods out of the draft means you don't have to take a Pod at the expense of a good Pod-able creature.

To expand on what Laz said, Commander as a format doesn't mesh that well with Magic's resource system - unless all players are consciously designing their decks to play over the board in the early game, there's no incentive to play cheap threats and it just degenerates into what might be called...

Caller is far better and also goes really nicely with stuff like Restoration Angel or Makeshift Mannequin. It's a wonderful card.

the phrase 'for my _ Commander deck' should be met with summary execution

I would much rather cut aggro than gut midrange decks.

I doubt any of the Commanders will be Cubeable, it's the cheap Legacy playables with crossover value we're waiting for/

am I being cynical for just expecting a bunch of overcosted bullshit EDH generals as the headline multicoloured cards of the set?

why is having strong gold removal pretty important to my control decks

That doesn't help, any statement about an archetype/strategy not being viable can be overturned with enough custom cards. Blue does aggro well and in a more interesting fashion than most other colours, but that's true of everything else blue does too so blue aggro involves more sacrifices than...
