Sets [C15] Commander 2015 Spoiler Thread

[japahn]

These commander cards are so, so pushed. Someone said in a thread they don't feel real, and I feel that too. There are some categories of commander cards that don't feel real to me (and there is some overlap between them):
1 - Cards that are too strong, would be a force in standard, but they only matter for cube and EDH players. They are not analysed by pros and don't get much buzz. Malicious Affliction, Curse of Predation, Toxic Deluge
2 - Cards with inelegant designs. They combo with themselves and react with other stuff like free radicals. Flesh Carver, Ghave, Guru of Spores
3 - Cards meant for multiplayer that read stupid in duels. True-Name Nemesis, all Will of the Council cards, esp. Council's Judgment and Magister of Worth.

Combo! Replace one Finks with Melira if you're feeling cheeky.

Fiery Confluence is incredible - everything I ever wanted Incendiary Command to be, at the exact right price! As japahn says, this could easily be too good for cube, but I'm sure as hell going to give it a shot.

 

[Alfonzo Bonzo]

Confluence looks really powerful but do I want six damage to the face for four mana?

 

[blacksmithy]

YES
YES
COME HERE YOU BEAUTIFUL BURN SPELL
I WILL KILL ALL DURDLE MAGES WITH YOU
The GB priest is neat too I guess but I'd mostly run him in EDH over cube

When that kills your opponent, you will. The biggest problem with Lava Axe, Yamabushi's Storm, Pyroclasm, Anger of the Gods, Shatterstorm and Shatter is that they are situational. But jam a lot of situational cards together and they become a swiss army knife of goodness.

I don't know if 4-mana reactive sorceries can ever be too good for cube, but we'll find out

Well... Myriad doesn't do anything in cube.

If Mizzix didn't have to be in play for his effect to persist he'd be pretty rad IMO.

'Mizzix of the Izmagnus' sounds like something the neural network would have spat out

 

[shamizy]

Pretty dope.

oh my god you're right. A lot of this stuff feels like that.

 

[anotak]

more neural net-named cards

This doesn't seem that bad honestly, if you're out for a clone with even more upside.

 

[Onderzeeboot]

Cat Illusion

That... is a pretty rad removal spell!

 

[yan]

hell yeah draw go

 

[yan]

i need more white cards dammit commander
unexpectedly absent is lame
hallowed spirit is ok i like it better than spectral procession

 

[FlowerSunRain]

Yeah, that's a draw-go card I can get behind.

 

[shamizy]

Don't know how busted this is, curving into Deranged Hermit would be disgusting.

 

[anotak]

It's really cool that they let Snoop Dogg name a magic card.

 

[Onderzeeboot]

Hey! Looks like Ezuri, Renegade Leader has compleated his life's goals

Card looks pretty sick! I bet you can follow it up with Patagia Viper in the commander deck, for the 5/4 flyer with sidekicks

 

[Laz]

Those two do combine to get completely out of control with token making instants and sorceries right? Massive cost discounts on and for casting cards like Sylvan Offering, Tempt with Vengeance, Firecat Blitz seems pretty mean.

 

[Jason Waddell]

You guys make me want to cut all commander cards from my list.

 

[Aston]

Man I didn't even consider experience counters from different sources.

 

[Onderzeeboot]

You guys make me want to cut all commander cards from my list.

Nah, there are a lot of commander cards that are really delightful in cube.



There's a bunch of other cards as well for varying power levels, but I think these are my favorites.

Plus we can hope against hope that a decent not broken living weapon will be printed.
I mean, it's a long shot, but the mechanic is coming back
