Craig: The objective of Commander is to deal 10 points of damage to each of your opponents. There's also a lesser known alternate win condition where you deal 40 points of "non-infect" damage.

Im with Manson on this one. I love myself a good villainous wealth. Sultai is my favourite color combination to play and this is the one card that i've decided is in all of the decks that can play it. Some times its big, some times its small, some time it wins, some times it flops. But it will always be different and unique.

My favorite Sultai commander: Volrath Shapestealer, the things my commander has shape shifted into, the amount of times they get infect and unblock-ability.

This was fun. I'm glad Josh talked about a different card and that we got to hear other peoples' favorite cards. All the usual people seemed to talk about exactly what you expected, but that's ok. As for me, I like cards like Fact or Fiction. I like involving other people in my turn outside of any kind of opportunity for counterspells, instant speed removal, or combat. I love stuff that switched permanents, lets them make a choice, just anything that doesn't make my turn all about me.

My favorite card is a tie between: Parallel Lives and its white counterpart: Anointed Procession. When I started learning the game I was enamored with the large token power of Selesnya and so I bought like a playset of Parallel Lives and when I saw Anointed Procession, I was super excited. I could never justify paying for the monetary cost of a Doubling Season...so these are the better option for me. They have been in every token commander deck I have built.

What's my favorite card you ask? Fallen Ideal. Hands down. In a game where having a sac outlet can make or break you, this sac outlet isn't going anywhere. It also makes enchanted creature evasive and can make them HUGE at the drop of a hat in any sac-centric deck. It's like having a sac outlet mushed together with a Rancor with a flying cherry on top. So good.

@darianmillen912 4 жыл бұрын

Master Biomancer is my favorite commander card. It's strong without any combo enablers, by giving your future creatures +2/+2 and can get absolutely out of hand with clones. I have Progenitor Mimic and Altered Ego in my Momir deck and just those clones alone are enough to snowball out of control and have creatures enter with hundreds of +1/+1 counters. Master Biomancer also also gets out of hand with Lord and Anthem affects that further make your creatures overpowered. Some of my combo payoffs are Prime Speaker Zegana and Fathom Mage to draw my deck while leaving a huge body and my favorite finisher is Galloping Lizrog which has ludicrous interactions with Master Biomancer, because it'll enter with all the counters your Biomancers will provide and then Galloping Lizrog's ETB goes off and removes counters from everything (including itself) and then doubles them onto him, which then you slap Lightning greaves and knock out the most threatening player. Master Biomancer combos are also great with Simic Asendancy because you can just play a. Creature and get the 20 growth counters off a single creature entering.

My new favourite in green, that I've seen once (then forgot about until Craig mentioned it here) and now put in my "Cards to buy/trade for ASAP!": Lurking Predators. It'll be PERFECT in my Elf Tribal Omnath, Locus of Mana deck! Churn out loads of elves that can make mana straightaway on my next turn, or be buffed by Overwhelming Stampede/Pathbreaker Ibex/Dragon-Throne of Tarkir and a huge Omnath for the win! Tbh though, it's good in any deck that has green and 30+ creatures, which (aside from some weird Temur spellslinger decks and Selesnya tokens decks) is most decks with green in! Maybe not Hydra tribal though, heh!

My favorite cards: EDH: Emrakul, the Promised end cEDH: Tainted Pact. Emrakul is just such a great way to kneecap the player who is ahead, and often helps remove permanents that your colors have trouble interacting with. Tainted Pact on the other hand is just a fun card to resolve. How far do you want to go in order to get the card you want?

My favorite card to play in commander is Commit//Memory. The versatility is just so good. Bouncing a permanent that is causing problems, or even bouncing a spell off the stack (not countering so it stops uncounterable) and the later allows you to shuffle your yard back into your deck and drawing a grip of new cards.

My favorite card in EDH will probably always be Ophiomancer. Card is baked in with so much value and pairs up with some of my favorite strats. It is always a blast to play. Favorite card though in all of Magic? Fling. Hundred years Fling. I'm always thinking about Fling.

Ashlen: I also got into MtG along side of the beginning of the Zendikar block; I was kindly given the BG Llorwyn Elves starter and quite a few staples from the Magic table at the community college I was attending at the time. However the first pack I bought was the day after Zendikar dropped, I pulled Eldrazi Monument as my rare and still remember asking all the regulars what an Eldrazi was. Worldwake dropped and mmm...jellyfish ♥

My favorite card it "The Great Aurora". It is a very fun ramp/reset/board wipe. Each player counts up their hands and all permanents they own. Then they shuffle everything except their graveyards into their libraries, draw the counted amount and put all lands drawn this way onto the battlefield. I've thrown games because i make sure to cast this card no matter what.

Ashlen's story is so much like mine. I learned to ply very casually as a middle schooler in '94, and played some in college during Mirrodin/Kamigawa, but when I really got back into MTG was right after Zendikar released. My favorite deck at the time was wall ramp into Eldrazi also!

I started playing Magic in my sophomore year of high school about six years ago. I got into magic because it was a cool card game that my friends where into, and it reminded me a bit of YuGiOh from when I was younger. I immediately fell in love with the color Green and crafted my first deck of Jund Dragons. Fast forward roughly a year, and my friends invited me to my first Prerelease at our LGS. I was excited to try it out, and, when I opened my box, I saw Omnath, Locus of Rage. He was my first ever commander deck, and, since then, I've been refining him ever since.

I really enjoy this channel and everything you guys do. For my favorite card it's an instant called interdict. 1 and a blue for counter target artifact, creature, enchantment, or land ability requiring an activation cost. Abilities of that permanent cannot be played again this turn. Draw a card. It's a super fun spell that nobody expects (and not many people know about) that gets value off the card draw and can often times stop infinite activations such as the deadeye navigator on a peregrine drake and bide a little time to find an answer.

@herbhaley5895 4 жыл бұрын

Best argument for their card: Craig's was best, followed by Ladee Danger. It's better to have a card that is good as a stand alone than to be dependent upon something an opponent has or, usually, might have. If I picked a favorite, probably would be Time Stop. Why? I'm old. Too much going on, someone wants to infinite combo while I'm still putting on my glasses to read a card...quatsch that! Grin, tap the man and Time Stop everything and maybe no one will noticed I pass gas when I grin.

I really love all the things that Aminatou can do, like Gilded Drake steal something, -1 on the Drake to steal something else. Some people don't know Aminatou says "you own returned under your control" and get really caught offguard. Witchclaw Talisman from Eldraine is also nice for that reason-- tutoring twice for other Aminatou synergies before giving your opponent a tutor (or using Aminatou to reclaim it each turn and never let them have it long enough to tutor). Perplexing Chimera is another mean one.
