P.S. since there's nowhere else to put it: Get lucky? Get unlucky. Sending it back to wotc today.

Those are both pretty neat- end step trigger is definitely a plus but you really need an assembled engine to get anything more than raise dead, right? Still seems more fun than creakwood liege or something. Scourge is probably too good when it 'works' though- early 6/6 flier is gross.

Yeah, I like that card. I don't think it would be too bad when it works. The cards that are really frustrating to come out early come with insane ETBs or built in protections. This guy has neither, he's just a fast clock. 6 toughness is hard on red, but red decks are typically even faster and probably win the race considering they killed two dudes for this dork. Also, its a zombie!

Miren is so good and I've loved that art ever since it was spoiled. I'm just glad that it's on such a strong card. I need two; one for Cube and one for Sidisi EDH.

I usually get one pre-con so I can jam it with friends and new players, the rest of the time I just pick up singles. There's often not enough in the pre-cons to be worth buying two of one (unless it's something like Mind Seize with TNN two years ago).

That's a good policy. I have a different situation where operate about 13 edh decks and am always brooding over whether X good card goes in this or that deck, since I usually only keep one or two copies of most good cards. (Notable exceptions include sol ring, solemn simulacrum, and trading post, of which i keep like 10 apiece)
So far I doubt I'll be getting the other decks though. Maybe a few singles. The new commanders just don't really excite me, except for Meren who REALLY excites me.

Yeah, I feel you on that, it's pretty hard to stock up on staples with multiple decks. My playgroup mostly drafts and plays EDH, cube is actually a rare occurrence aside from like once or twice a month.

I've actually got 7 EDH decks that I've built over the last two years since buying the Oloro pre-con, the only one I try to pimp out (when reasonable) is my Karametra, God of Harvests Enchantress b/c that's my baby. EDH gets a bad rep here from some people, but it's a great format if you have a cool playgroup. I probably play more EDH than any other format of Magic to be completely honest, and that's mostly due to my playgroup. But then again I look for different things from different formats, can't evaluate them all along the same spectrum.

I think I have over 20 edh decks lying around, in various states of completion. My guess is that at least half of them are incomplete due to feeding my cube, but since the last time I played edh is over a year ago, that doesn't bother me too much.

I don't play Commander but as far as Cube goes, these are the ones I'm definitely including as of today's spoilers. The rest frankly aren't appealing to me at all for cube unless someone convinces me otherwise. Like maybe someone can sell me on Meteor Volley but eh.

Fiery Confluence can kick out a Manic Vandal (or Torch Fiend or Smash to Smithereens etc) in most cubes. Basically every archetype is interested in this. I can't even deal with how pushed it is.

Magus is amazing. I would be fine curving into him in an aggressive red deck, he basically taps to win the game if you have burn in your deck and an opponent that's taken a beating or if you have a Seismic Assault out.

I wasn't sold on Meren at first but at this point I'm just sold because I'd rather run her in a BG slot over removal (sorry Abrupt Decay...) and she strongly supports Pox/Stack and basically any grindy midrange or graveyard strategy, which is everything GB wants to be doing. Exp counters feel awkward since they'll probably only exist for her and they'll often just awkwardly be there doing nothing the rest of the game but whatever.

I do hope the Magi will be a cycle. Not sure which broken sorceries they're using for the other colors, if so.



Eh? EH?
Since Balance is banned in EDH, not sure which candidate is better.

On a flavor note, Meren is from Alara. That is very cool.

Too bad he has no way to trigger himself. Pretty scary though!
