    My Commander Picks



    So far this is the first card I like most. It's a land that deals with Sower of Temptation and the activated ability doesn't require mana to activate. Not saying it's gonna have an outrageous impact on any format, but this card does something that no other card did before, and it does it at a low cost. I don't think it will actually be played in a very long time, but it could be a metagame consideration.

    PS: You can now use Forbidden Orchard to create creatures and steal them back with Homeward Path. :-)

    Soul Snare is the other card that I think is very potent, Auto-include for Enchantress but also very good as it is a "Seal of Plowshares". Perhaps also good in Landstill, because you can go turn 1 Seal, turn 2 Standstill.

    The rest of the set doesn't seem to have any useful applications outside Commander.

    I like the land as well. I wouldn't be surprised to see it as a 1 of in decks with KotR.

    Doesn't work:

    110.5a A token is both owned and controlled by the player under whose control it entered the battlefield.

    How about with gilded drake?

    Edit: And juxtapose.

    That's a shame, otherwise the Hunted creatures would have like this card a lot too :-)

    Brooding Saurian would like to have a word with you. Better try to be informed, not knowing fringe cards really leaves you with a Brand of shame, you know... :)
    "Blue-Eyes White Dragon is a fatty that Jamie Wakefield seems to have overlooked. It has a tremendous power and toughness of 3000/2500, making it bigger than current threats such as Tarmogoyf or Mountain."

    Chaos Warp seems like the MVP to me by far.

    Seal of Plowshares looks good. It might get into Enchantress. The best part is it hits Emrakul.

    Only problem with that is most of the real problem creatures are never going to attack with this thing on deck so Oblivion Ring is better most of the time.

    Too bad they get their stuff back as well.

    Otherwise, Reins of Power would be awesome with it.

    Yes that is true and If Emrakul taps to atttack the opponent, they still have to sac 6 so it isn't the greatest answer. Only benefit of this is proactive drop where I can play it and sac when needed.

    Re: My Commander Picks

    I think the following cards might see some play in Legacy:

    Alliance of Arms, Soul Snare, Flusterstorm (or whatever they end up calling it), Sewer Nemesis, Chaos Warp, Collective Voyage (maybe if it finds the right deck), Scavenging Ooze, Edric, Spymaster of Trest, aaaaaaaaaaand... The Mimeoplasm.
    Bless your heart, we must consider Blue/White Tempo's strategy and win percentages in an entirely different deck thread. -4eak

    Brand + Hunted Creatures used to work but rule changed with m10 rules or something like that. This land does deal with Sower and Shackles and Kight of the Reliquary can search for it :D

    Ruhan of the Fomori looks pretty solid as well. 7/7 for 4 mana.
