like Prof said: they are maybe not the strongest of all time. But isnt this what we are sometimes even complaining about? That Powercreep is taking over? For me, the most important aspect is, that they are a full FLAVOUR-WIN. The more you know the games, the more you understand how much love and details are in there. I almost got tears when I saw the Arcane Signet. I will always remember how I kept the wedding ring in my Inventory all the time during my playthrough. Or getting an treasure (Nuka-Cap) when you sac an food token (Nuka-Cola). Or the Radiation-Mechanic. Also the art style fits Fallout 100%. Thats what is important to me. Thank you Prof. Im glad you are a true Fallout-Fan yourself. Prof.. Prof is always right..

One thing to note about the energy deck is that there is also going to be a jeskai energy commander precon in MH3, and they've already shown that new energy cards will also be showing up in the regular set. So if you really like the energy theme and want to focus on that part of the deck, we may very well be getting a lot of new options coming up

@AlluMan96 2 ай бұрын

While it is nice that their commitment to revitalizing the energy mechanic extended farther than just throwing Commander players one deck's worth of toys and leaving it at that, it feels like a shame that they just didn't want to commit fully to that playstyle in this precon. I'm not often the one to cry out "Oh, WOTC just releases half-baked products to sell you the missing pieces later", but I cannot deny that the construction of the Science! deck coupled with the abrupt release of another Commander product in the same colours released on a very short time-frame that has new, synergistic cards with the same niche mechanic, it feels like a hustle. Gives a bit of that "Congrats on buying our product, now buy the next one, you shmuck." air to it. It's not like it's the end of the world. That deck is actually pretty fun anyway. It's just that when you sell it at a premium like this and with it having a sales-pitch as strong as "The comeback of energy after 7 years", it's understandable to feel a little miffed at the fact that the energy part of the deck wound up feeling kinda underwhelming and being told that the next, premium-priced product is going to give you the solution is a bitter bit of cold comfort.

The Science! deck isn't that bad. The energy synergy is indeed lacking, but in the punchy department it's no slouch! Without energy upgrades, I'd use Liberty Prime as the commander; with energy upgrades, Madison Li becomes a serius contender. The Mutant Menace is a league above, though.

I will say i got into magic due to friends at college, and i now i have a few magic decks, specifically commander. I also got into fallout because of them. So it is nice to see that most of the fallout decks are good, just need to possibly be cheaper. I wanted to get scrappy surviors because dogmeat was may favorite character, and it is nice to know that it might need some upgrades. Granted, almost all of my decks are upgraded precons soooo. Yeah. I also think that some of the cards in mutant mayhem could also work in a counters deck, like rad storm. I think that while most of these decks are good, the cards they have are kinda meant to help boost other decks already made. This could be why they are not as mana heavey as other univere beyond sets.

@drakko95 4 ай бұрын

Played the Science precon recently. While it's a little saddening to see energy not get the love it deserves as a mechanic, the deck itself pilots pretty well. What I like the most about it is that both of the commanders offer something to players new and old. Dr. Madison Lee is great for newer players, since she gives them something to do at pretty much any point in the game and is very straightforward in her design. Liberty Prime, however, is very good in the hands of an established player, as it benefits the most from someone who understands sequencing to pull off effectively. I tried the robot, and it is a blast to play.

Any time WotC has short printed something, stores have price gouged and still sold out and MSRP didn't mean shit. You're kidding yourself if you think WotC listing an MSRP will stop stores from jacking up prices when the opportunity presents itself. The fetchland Ultimate Edition is another thing that suffered from price gouging and was impossible to find. It was the Pathway one that didn't and it's no coincidence that was undesirable and over printed. To sum up: if demand outstrips supply, MSRP will not stop sellers from jacking up prices.

Absolutely agree. Struggling with the varied prices right now way above 50 USD.

My sample booster (Mutant Menace deck) had an extended art Codsworth and a borderless Sol Ring…best part both were non-foil.

Full art lands is nice. I like that the more premium products are getting full art lands now a days (with the cats and dog deck having them too).

So Im a new player as of this deck. Im wondering are all the cards the same in the commander decks? Or are there different borders, colors, rarity etc?
