Re: Commander 2016 Spoiler Thread
Atraxa is legit vs Delver, holy shit. Just gotta resolve it and keep your lands intact :cool:
Can't wait to throw this in 4c good stuff bullshit midrange and pitch her to force constantly!
EDIT: Pyroblast makes me sad...

Re: Commander 2016 Spoiler Thread
Atraxa seems pretty damn good. . .
Edit: I mean it's vulnerable to STP, but . . . that's it?
4 DRS
4 Atraxa
4 STP
4 FOW
4 Brainstorm
4 AD
4 Thoughtseize
Starting with above shell . . . do you go GSZ, SFM or Delver with that?

I don't want to like the card, but damn it I love the card. Fuck Pyroblast, 4c Angel beatdown for life!
But seriously, this really make me want to make a 4 color Planeswalker EDH deck to never get to play.

Silas Renn seems like he could find a spot somewhere. I'm not sure the rest can offset their casting cost in legacy.

100% with you on this! I love it too.
I'm gonna try my best to make her work somehow. Can be fetched with GSZ too fwiw, maybe some 4c Nic Fit monstrosity.

Re: Commander 2016 Spoiler Thread

Play him with Glissa, the Traitor and Executioner's Capsule? Plus Baleful Strix?
That would be one way to definitely beat Eldrazi, :cool:

Re: Commander 2016 Spoiler Thread
The first thoughts about Atraxa I had were "does it have hexproof?" and on reading Proliferate "Township is going to be retarded". Mark my words. Atraxa Township decks are going to go to town.
-
Re: Commander 2016 Spoiler Thread
Atraxa seems pretty hard to cast, but between DRS, Noble Hiearch and especially GSZ, it might actually not be that bad.
Edit: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Cvi6HtoWgAAbUWk.jpg
Can't think of anything (other than Brainstorm, hurr durr) to truely abuse this. And even then, it costs 4 mana and requires to tap.

Best I can come up with is:
Turn 1 - Land
Turn 2 - Land - DRS/Noble
Turn 3 - Land - Kydele
Turn 4 - Land - Brainstorm - Snapcaster (FB Brainstorm) - Tap Kydele for 7 - Cerulean Wisps - Tap Kydele for 8 -- Emrakul.
Pretty Janky

Sylvan Library, Jace, the Mind Sculptor, Faithless Looting and when you get to critical mass Stroke of Genius or Braingeyser.
That said, as you wrote, 4 mana is too much for legacy.

Re: Commander 2016 Spoiler Thread
Are any of the partner combinations interesting so far? I can't think of anyway I would like to combine any of them really.
-
Re: Commander 2016 Spoiler Thread
So... flavorwise:
Atraxa is from New Phyrexia
Bruse Tarl is from Zendikar (he's an Ally)
Kraum is from Innistrad
Kydele is from Theros
Sidar Kondo is from Dominaria (!!)
Silas Renn is from Alara (Esper)
Looks like they are spreading the love across the planes with this product!
I'd love to see more of the heavily quoted characters from Ice Ages get cards.

Or Fallen Empires. Order of the Ebon Hand was like the coolest to me, back when we didn't realize Fallen Empires was 98% bad cards.

What about some sort of Necrotic Ooze package with Griselbrand? Draw 14, tap, find another mana, play emrakul...
4 mana is not too much for legacy. The question is whether or not the ability is good enough.

I think this card has legs. I'm sure there's something horrible to do with Black Lotus in Vintage. Legacy has LED if you want it but even just recurring stuff like EE or Strix might be good value.

There's no reason to ever play this kind of deck with Miracles around, but if there were, this is deceptively strong, IMO. If you have something like a big Knight or Goyf, or something equipped with a sword, this can flip the game pretty fast. But you can throw it on the pile of RWB cards that are good value but will do nothing until the format opens up a bit.
-
Re: Commander 2016 Spoiler Thread
I don't think Miracles is to blame for a 3/3 for 4 being unplayable in Legacy. It would also be unplayable in Modern.

Obligatory 'does this make goblins relevant again?' card...
Looks like the representative from Tarkir.

Or just force their next thing, they take 5. You get to untap and play a Gurmag Angler, Bedlam Reveler, etc.
Fun card, but too incremental/vulnerable for Legacy right now.

Nah, I think it makes Logic Knot/Conflagrate more relevant.

I'd focus more on the part about proliferate; this is an anti-Chalice/eldrazi card, Reanimator could potentially want that effect, but there are probably better options (especially since there are ~3x Dismember in eldrazi lists). Elves could potentially want this effect for the same reason with their NO/GSZ. Any time that keyword pops up remember that it doesn't simply deal with a Chalice on 1, it deals with any number of them in play, and the uncast ones - if you're not looking for that final an answer to Chalice on 1, it's probably misused.

Reyhan, Last of the Abzan
Legendary Creature - Human Warrior
Reyhan, Last of the Abzan enters the battlefield with three +1/+1 counters on it.
Whenever a creature you control dies or is put into the command zone, if it had one or more +1/+1 counters on it, you may put that many +1/+1 counters on target creature.
0/0
Seems pretty good with Phyrexian Ravager.
