Agreed, it's totally within their reprint range

Yeah they probably should've just given us DV instead of Nashi.

You know that would be too nice of them to do haha

@@altheking21 Izzet precon has like 2,5 times higher reprint value, so

@@altheking21 and would probably have cost them "too much money" we can't have precons with truly expensive rares in them now can we no because in my case even with trades $45.00 overall is not enough but I put an additional $30.00 max and I think now it's "good" enough to be fun

Honestly this deck wouldve been the perfect deck for a city/confluence reprint

The mana base is the one part of the deck I cannot argue with… the rest was disappointing.

Gonti makes it so the cards you steal can be cast using any colored mana. So you don't really need access to all colors here.

I want to make a Felix deck that runs all the Swords of X & Y to just equip to him. With all of those attached to him, he is Felix Eleven-Swords

I ugly laughed

Felix, meet Mothman

Ooooh interesting

Yeah it's basically Gale's Redirection on a creature which is already a spell I really enjoy using in Commander . I think Redirection is a little bit better than Spelljacker for a couple of reasons (you always have access to the spell), but Spelljacker is a card with a lot of other synergies.

Im cutting it because of the lack of flicker effects but i still really like it

I wouldn't say upgrade since they do different things. Sidegrade?

@@MidgarMerc I'd say stealing spells and having one less blue pip is a lot of upside..

The issue is it's in green, Strix is good because it isn't green and other colors dont typically get those type of creatures, green has all the best land tutors and the best ramp spells and ramp spells that are cheap $ and has the best blockers in the format for the most part, and it can whiff if you've already drawn command tower which is AWFUL a 1/1 Deathtouch Reach with no ability is bad at 2 mana. We aren't even going to discuss cards over 3$ because this wants to act as a replacement for those more expensive ramp cards. Farseek already is flat out better in 5c, it ramps you the color you need, rampant growth as well but it can only grab one so better in 4c or 3c, birds is under 3$ at this point and does the job this card does as a blocker + fixes better than a to hand tutored command tower (Doesnt eat your land drop), Steve see rampant growth + can do the same thing to ground attackers by saccing in response, harrow fixes the exact colors you want, arbor elf can fix beyond green, lotus cobra is under 3$ at this point and is superior fixing to command tower as long as you hit lands which on turn 3-4 shouldnt be a concern, sanctum weaver fixes automatically and usually will be at least 2 mana made in most decks, ignoble is under 3$ and is better than command tower in most cases (Especially in 4 color) if that tower is eating your ramp slot to hand, entish restoration see harrow The problem is to even begin playing 5 color the first priority is manabase even in budget and most of the time you're just going to be better off running an extra tapped triland, aether hub, grand coliseum, great hall of the citadel, glimmervoid, gemstone mine, vivid lands, spire of industry, path of ancestry, or exotic orchard Playing a tapped rainbow land is the equivalent of spending a ramp spell to search an untapped rainbow land to hand instead of ramping an extra basic or tapped dual land. And if your deck isn't at least Budget 4c or 5c (50$ or less on the mana base), i don't even think you'd remotely consider this even in hyper budget 3c

Blood wrote a whole college essay on why a 2 mana death touch reach 1/1 that fetches a rainbow land to your hand is bad

i really dont like the design on it. cards that reference other cards just arent my jam unless they were released together and meant to do that from the get-go

depends, I think mostly not with the cards in this deck lands ARE 'permanents' but NOT 'spells' so play close attention to the wording

This is missing the best payoffs for being a combat trigger deck. Oof. Larceny is gonna spike...

Hard disagree. It serves a purpose.

Why? All it's mechanics work within the rules.

Have you ever seen an Omnath or Mimeoplasm or Aeve?

This entire set feels like an Un-Set, so in a way it's entirely on brand.

The card itself is great, it's just a huge flavor fail that it's not Nashi.
