New to mtg, but just curious why make the deck WUBRG if we’re not utilizing the commanders gimmick, could you not build a better assassins deck with less colors and better mana base?
@poppmagic18 күн бұрын
Always a million reasons to add or cut colors. I’m fine with the 5C due to green adding ramp and color fixing even though there aren’t any green assassins in the deck. It also helps off er support in other places like assassins trophy. The deck doesn’t NOT want to use the ability, but really it just isn’t as reliable. The other thing is ezio is really there to make assassins cost BB. That’s why I wanted to make a list for him, but since he has the added benefit of making someone lose, might as well 😂
@Vendetta41918 күн бұрын
But the question is how are you able to put 5 different color if this Ezio is the commander and he is only black?
@poppmagic18 күн бұрын
So in commander, the color identity of the deck depends on the colors of the card. So Ezio is 1B, BUT, since he has the WUBRG in his text box, he can use all colors. A good example is Morophon that just costs 7 generic. You can see other examples of Codie, Tazri, Kenrith, Najeela, etc

@@poppmagic depends on how you play. I have a built pretty solid Ezio deck with Sorin in it and the deck is 5C. The only issue is you need to play very aggressively so you can take advantage of the free running. My deck in particular can ramp in various ways (mana rocks, a few green fetch cards, and even some added cards that can basically turn my assassins into mana dorks). Ezio’s freerunning is absolutely busted but I also felt it necessary to utilize his 5C identity to make the deck fun.
