This is not a nice card. I was on the receiving end of one of these at the pre-release. It was attached to a Verix Bladewing (a 4/4 legendary dragon) that I couldn’t do anything about. I just had to sit there and take a beating as it was joined by more and more copies.
I already had one copy of the card that I pulled in my booster boxes. And it had been slotted into my Dragon Tribal Commander deck as a replacement for Coat of Arms. Why? Well at the time my ex-students had also started to play tribal decks, so they were also getting a benefit from Coat of Arms. I couldn’t have that. So this was the natural card to replace it.
This card unless banned, is an instant include for a lot of decks. A new Commander staple. So I got 5 more of these before the price skyrocketed. So at some point I’m going to have to put one in my common box and proxy it in, because I don’t have enough copies. Using a proxy and bringing out the original to use when needed is a great way to save money in a casual format.
The thing about this card is it triggers every turn, you don’t need to attack for it to trigger. So more copies of your Commander, no problem. Just more copies of whatever nasty creature you have on the battlefield, no problem. Plus they have haste so you can instantly attack with that copy too.
Oh this will be so funny in my Scarab God zombie deck. Multiple Scarab Gods on the battlefield that’s going to hurt so much. Get some zombies out, multiple beginning of turn triggers. Ouch! Zombie apocalypse!!!
Hate that card, it’s caused more problems then it’s solved to be honest. I also felt the power of it at the prerelease.
I keep thinking oh that’ll be cool on Etali or so and so (put name of a dragon/dinosaur here)
Indeed lol. It is a great card for EDH and I will purchase a copy for my dinosaur tribal deck (totally didn’t go back and copy your deck list). The value of the card is too good and the fact it’s colourless artifact is just crazy.
Lol while be interested to see where you differ from my list. No shame in using others decks.
Only a few differences, I cut the carnage tyrant just a little out of my price range and there’s other 6 drops that have a scary board presence. Just mainly a few Dominaria Ramo cards, very similar to yours. I’m sure we can test against each other at the prerelease for core set 2019 😉
Yeah but it is a great green card.
Without a doubt but for £20 I can have Zacama Gisath a handful of tribal cards and boardwipes so in the end I couldn’t be arsed but hey how, I sure pisses off Steven when I had top deck of the century with the boardwipe against his dragons
Lol great top decks are always funny
The salt was spilt but we had been there for hours and I was just happy to see the end. I presume you’ll be attending core set prerelease?
I may very well be there. I think John will have most of my order then. Next month my Elf deck gets doubling season. My Wizards deck is getting cryptic command. And I may by Prerelease have my angel deck done. It’s 80% done now
Please no elf, we have suffered enough lol. The battle bond set is basically commander masters lol. May buy a box at this rate. Hope to see you there, have missed you over the weeks but haven’t missed those elves though.
You will need to get it online. Print run is low.
Wait for the angels you’ll be begging for the elves
