Commander 2016 Spoiler Thread

[Echelon]

The Rebecca Guay ones are amazing, they feel very old school magic like. I wish that they had made this the gimmicky product with full art lands instead of the Return to Zendikar block.

Do those commander lands come in foil..?

Edit: Probably not. Dammit! Oh well, Onslaught basics it is.

Yeah it's a shame that all of those new basics are unplayable because of the new boarder... Kaladesh has cool art as well

[Barook]

They can Wrath in response to the equip trigger, making the whole ordeal pointless.

Not worthy, imho.

Edit: Not sure into which shell she would fit into:
Akiri, Rope Thrower
Legendary Creature - Kor Soldier Ally
First strike, vigilance
Akiri, Rope Thrower has +1/+0 for each artifact you control.
Partner (You can have two commanders if both have partner.)
0/3

In an artifact-heavy deck (Affinity? color-wise, probably more Painter), she has a built-in Plating and the combination of First Strike, Vigilance + high power makes her a pretty dominant ground creature.

Not Legacy playable, but... wow!

RIP Deadeye Navigator in EDH.

Huh? They do different things.

Pretty sure he means that the Skate will get Navigator banned.

[Poron]

unplayable but another very consistent monoU combo

[CptHaddock]

Pretty sure he means that the Skate will get Navigator banned.

Mostly just joking but if the EDH banlist is anything to go by it's mostly the troublesome cards themselves e.g. prime time, Sylvan Primordial, etc that get banned but this card seems like it's really busted with any enabler.

[Whitefaces]

I see! My mistake, thought he meant it would replace it.

Yeah, these two together seems pretty silly.

And God help them if you play Panharmonicon on 4, Skate on 5, Navigator on 6.

Maybe with Puresteel Paladin,Goblin Gaveleer and a bunch of low cc equipment.

:) First MTG Gay Couple? (See Guardians of Meletis)

Edit: also I feel out of the 3 4 color commanders we got, the couple are the worst designed - I don't see what's Red about them?

[BenBleiweiss]

I don't think this is playable (6 mana is still a lot), but has there been a draw-7 that worked out of the graveyard at Instant Speed before?

Key and Peele Nalaar?

I really like this card. Not sure how good it is, but can go completely bonkers in LED dredge. Turn 1, land LED crack dredge 7 times? Like holy fucking fuck

Edit: bad picture. Thought the activation was 3R.

Yeah, it would definitely have been playable at 3R. 5R is a bit more challenging.

[Ace/Homebrew]

First MTG Gay Couple?

Major flavor fail! Kynaios and Tiro should have been two separate cards... with Partner.

[Darkenslight]

Oh, and don't forget the powerful removal spell Parting Thoughts. 2B for sorcery-speed Murder + card draw, at the cost of life. Seems really quite potent.

[Barook]

Is this the reason why they got a giant butt and hit like a wet noodle?

I don't see what's Red about them?

Gotta need red for the rainbow.

3 mana for removal is way above scale in legacy, and using it as a 'combo' with something like Roc Hatchling opens you up to 2-for-1 against instant speed stuff.
