Another MtG post!
Thought I’d share some arrivals that I’m considering for various Commander decks.
Brand as you can see is a card that will be a must have in my 99 for the mono red decks that I have, plus any that splash red like my dinosaur tribal or dragon tribal decks.
It’s a fact of Commander life that certain cards like the new Planeswalker card Tevesh Szat, Doom of Fools in the soon to be released Commander Legends steal permanents from under your nose. Having a card to regain control of those stolen permanents is essential. I had a card or two like that in my token spam deck. But nothing in red.
Luckily I stumbled across this card in a twitter discussion and instantly thought it was cool and needed for my decks.
I couldn’t remember if I had Voracious Greatshark. I certainly didn’t have the foil extended art version. Obviously this is a card looking for a place in the horrors from the deep deck.
What I like about this is it has flash. It’s a counterspell and gives me a 5/4 body. Ok it’s not cheap at 5 CMC, but that’s not bad, otherwise it’d be broken if it was cheaper.
Another card looking for a place in my mono red goblin deck is Outnumber. That could potentially take out very big creatures.
Lurking Predators is a strong contender for a couple of decks. Cheating creatures out onto the board, especially big expensive ones is always a neat trick to pull off. This would certainly make opponents reluctant to play stuff.
Whelming Wave can only potentially go into my horrors from the deep deck. A board wipe that leaves my creatures on the board. Ok not ideal that it’s bouncing back to the opponents hand. But that gets rid of tokens, and slows the opponents down a little as they have to recast the creatures to rebuild their board state. That is if they survive.
Man-‘o-war was chaff that came with Brand to help protect Brand. But I’m actually considering it. It’s that bouncing a creature back to hand etb that makes it attractive.
I think I need to start the deck updating process and share the new updated decks lists.
