I don't know how many 4-color cards we'll be playing here, but this guy's really got me excited as a Shadowmage Infiltrator variant:
Sets Commander 2016 Spoilers
- Thread starter StormEntity
- Start date
I think he'll get there in my cube, there's a lot of random Executioner's Capsule type stuff floating around. Plus people are starting to mess around more with Chromatic Star and that's something of a combo.
Good point. He's a sweet engine with Executioner's Capsule, maybe even a little overbearing? Just clear the blocker out every turn, grind to victory
This is too good in 1v1, right?

If you have any of the 3-4 mana deal 4 burn effects, things can snowball REALLY fast. Much too strong 1v1 for me.
I like the new UB guy as well, Deathtouch is just underrated in general, but sadly I've already bumped my UB section up to 6 cards with Gisa and Geralf so he'll have to be on the shelf a while.

Also...
Not bad. Not bad at all.
And there's supposed to be a bunch of basic landcycling cards. That actually sounds interesting!
Is this a sick weenie lord?
Oh, and hey look! Boros got another attack dude! What a surprise!

I like that Silas can help cement Grixis as the artifact colors so it's not just Tezzeret, Agent of Bolas out on an island.
I really like Vial Smasher but it does seem a lot more powerful than I initially thought. Emerge is going to love this guy and so will delve! Tacking on 8 damage to Distended Mindbender or Elder Deep-Fiend sounds v good.
You can win on turn 4 by following up Fireblast with Hidetsugu's Second Rite with Vial Smasher in play.

I'm quite interested in the land cycling cards, they appear over costed but I think they're subtly quite powerful. Note the cycling is colourless unlike previous basic land cycling.

But yeah, I do still like the card in that role
Yeah, this was the hard part. There are just too many good UB options now. I've currently got the following:
Silas is cool, but I don't think he is as useful as any of these. I had literally just added Contraband Kingpin as UB Artifacts support because of the body for slower control decks and I like the idea of turning Seat of the Synod and Vault of Whispers into Scry 1s.

I can't even parse that second ability. I can't understand what the flavour is supposed to be.

He's so good at tactics that you need a bird's eye perspective (or many eyes and eight legs, I guess) to decipher his troops' maneuvers. If you don't, he'll outsmart you and hit your base without your guards noticing.

Nice try, but wrong. He literally just throws his smaller allies over the enemy lines. Oh wait, there is already a Commander who does that...
This is pretty crazy in cubes with multiple Brainstorms. Play her, next turn get to 8 mana? Seems fine. And great with looters. Interesting...Also...
Not bad. Not bad at all.

Very solid +1/+1 counters matter card.

I don't have anything in mind, but I feel like there's a way for this to go infinite.

They're so pretty but they won't be in foil.
