    OK, if you do want to try brewing, there are some structural hurdles to overcome.

    You need consistent ways to:

    Another reason why this is not the time to innovate with UB Reanimator (with Eye or Conspiracy Unraveler).

    Re: 4 Card Blind: Ban-Back Better

    Discrepancy.

    Looks like GoblinSmashmaster may be right.

    OTP 4dogs blocks fast enough to stabilize. But what if GoblinSmashmaster never attacks? Then 4dogs can only make 3 1/1s. 3 1/1s can't...

    Re: Eye of Duskmantle Reanimator

    If that was the only life loss, sure. But it's 0 cards drawn unless you pay more life to cast those cards. Surveiling more cards doesn't really benefit you on its own. Draw7/Atraxa does have value on...

    Re: Eye of Duskmantle Reanimator

    True, why pay 2 life to Taigam's Scheming (to then spend more life to cast things) when you can pay 7 to draw 7? Or pay 0 to draw 4-5 from top 10?

    This is a fun thing to durdle with in Commander...

    So you can kill something/discard opponent/Bolt them and then +Oko. Seems good in non-Beans 4c piles, but awkward with Beans (doesn't trigger with Solitude or Leyline Binding or Fury).

    Whole archetypes/brews were attempted, but never made Tier 1-1.5. Archetypes were attempted because the effects seemed theoretically strong T1. In practice, the decks didn't live up to potential.

    A colorless 1cmc effect is clearly better and easier to use. But those 2-3cmc cards are castable turn 1 OTP. The decks that play them aim to cast them as early as turn 1 (using mana accel). Same...

    Ban update seems fair. Bowman is not oppressive. It's nice to have something nonblue that keeps blue card draw in check. The format feels diverse. 2 different monored decks are tier 1, so black and...

    If you want to combo with Scapeshift, it could still be protected by blue counters. Force has more synergy than Grief when you have Beans and no Reanimates.
