Ugh. I did not think that UB was that big a deal when it was announced because I thought they would be smart enough to keep it optional and wouldn’t oversaturate the market. Oh how wrong and foolish I was

I think it’s too early to see much of a shift imo. I think most people aren’t playing Dockside and if they were they’re probably not disassembling their red decks because one card got banned.

When a card gets banned from comp 60 card formats, people are going to sell off the rest of the deck since there’s no point in keeping it around and they’re probably putting up 4 copies of each card. Commander has 1/4th of the stock and people generally play decks they like as opposed to only the best decks

Haven’t updated this list in forever, but it’s probably mostly accurate barring a few cards that I’ve since removed: https://moxfield.com/decks/3LDDhO9IAEqf0cjpMiyr7w

Currently still going through and updating all my old decks, also have a Mangara I want to add to this one

I have a Leinore deck as well but it runs a lot of Thalia noncreature hate so never even considered it

Currently planning a Beledros deck though which this slots in well, as it’s a big-mana deck that likes the lifegain, ramp and the 1/+1 counters for a surprise finisher if I have enough tokens

I’m not exactly sure how important this is to how Commander is run as a whole, but it seemed to be making enough buzz that it was noteworthy. I guess we’ll see whether business continues on as usual or if this prompts a response from the RC

We hear that it’s dead a week ago and now it’s “in production.” What does that mean? Do they have a cast yet? Is this the same show from before?

Based on his description, The Jolly Balloon Man should really have been a sac + make a token Balloon copy, which I think would have been more interesting as there aren’t a ton of Boros sac commanders

Neat! Funny to think of the controversy this caused back in 1994

Man, what a mess. This site was doomed to fail

This feels like another case of “I wish the story team had more episodes to work with.” We didn’t get to see very many of the houses horrors, nor much of any survivors in the main plot other than Winter. Razorkin, Cellarspawn and the Overlords all have really cool lore that we never got to see.

Also just straight up stabbing Valgavoth seemed… Too easy? Thankfully they didn’t kill him but it seems like it should have taken more luck/planning to escape. But the temporary door was at least a cool solution, it would have made Valgavoth seem incompetent if they escaped through the door he made for Winter.

Speaking of incompetent, the fact that we have no idea why Loot, Vraska and Jace are on Duskmourn make them seem really stupid. And how are they going to get out, especially now that Valgavoth has Loot?

More backstory about the House and what happened with Mira! Also we meet the Cult of Valgavoth and that bad feeling I had about Winter finally pays off. Tyvar’s turning out to be the MVP with how useful his transmutation magic is.

I do wonder how many main story episodes are left, given that the group is still split up and we have no idea where they actually need to go to escape the House or possibly defeat Valgavoth.

Agreed on the red-flagging of abilities. Nadu had so many red flags it really should not have been allowed out untested. If the lands had even entered tapped it might have been okay but they missed so many possible limits on his abilities

Spoilers below

So half the group has burned their fateshifters so far. Tyvar being able to transmute himself into the House seemed too good to be true, and it was.

I thought Jace would have come alone given that he can still planeswalk, bringing Vraska and Loot seems way too risky. They don’t seem to want to make him seem likeable given that he just leaves Kaito to die. I wonder if Kaito will actually be able to planeswalk out of there or if the House truly is inescapable.

Also it’s funny that Duskmourn seems to be afraid of Zendikar. Maybe opening a door to the Roil is dangerous to it? I would have expected maybe Innistrad, Tarkir or Ikoria to be riskier. Actually ,Duskmourn might like bringing in some of the horrors from Innistrad.

It was originally meant to be a Commander card. Based on the other article they put out about Nadu, it looked very different during testing and got changed to its current iteration right before the set was finalized and was never properly playtested.

Not gonna miss any of these cards

Was mostly winging it but tried to stick close to these measurements:

• 1 lb crab meat
• between 1/2 to 1 cup bread crumbs
• 1/4 cup mayo
• 2 tsp mustard
• 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
• a generous amount of Old Bay
• parsley
• lemon juice
• salt and pepper

Haha, they’re under there I swear! I may have been a little generous with the tomato and avocado

Even as someone without any D&D nostalgia that one looked really cool to me. If it doesn’t immediately sell out I’ll probably pick one up

Mmmmm, and on a pretzel bun too

Valgavoth is apparently powerful enough to terrify Aminatou, which is pretty scary given her lore
