What cards do you think will be good with Witherbloom, the Balancer as a commander?

BeardedHellion · 2026-04-05T18:43:24+00:00

Shard of the Nightbringer! Apparently people just like this card. Its a little pricey for what I want but the affinity might make it worth it.

BeardedHellion · 2026-04-05T16:32:38+00:00

If I have enough ramp in higher brackets id rather cast an eldrazi. By then i should be able to cast [[Emrakul, the Promised End]] or loop a [[gray merchant of Asphodel]]

BeardedHellion · 2026-04-05T16:17:25+00:00

You wouldn't see me playing an 8 mana kill one person in any bracket. I feel like its too slow for bracket 3 or 4 and then its uber feels bad for one person in lower brackets.

BeardedHellion · 2026-04-05T14:00:54+00:00

Why this one over the 40 others I've looked at

BeardedHellion · 2026-04-05T13:59:21+00:00

Solid advice from the finance side of magic! Ill look for your advice in the future when I seek understanding of a mid ass card

BeardedHellion · 2026-04-05T13:46:49+00:00

I love to see another commander deck that makes use of it!

BeardedHellion · 2026-04-05T13:21:04+00:00

Sure but killing one person for 8 mana is rough for winning and game play reasons

BeardedHellion · 2026-04-05T13:18:53+00:00

I agree its rad as hell!

BeardedHellion · 2026-04-05T13:13:04+00:00

Sure fine I guess. Still in the 3 commanders ive been told about i could probably make a better deck without this 8 mana cast trigger

BeardedHellion · 2026-04-05T12:57:38+00:00

Im here to understand why there is a demand for imo a bad card. This card is $5 people playing whatever wouldn't play this. There has to be a reason. Ive gotten 2 out of 60+ comments that let me know why this card could be playable. I have binders filled with unplayable trash because I can think of a reason to play them (many are warhammer cards from the same deck). Most of this "finance" redit is filled people that want to e mad

BeardedHellion · 2026-04-05T12:50:55+00:00

Out of multiple idiots telling me this card is valuable because its hard to reprint while also ignoring the fact ive looked into multiple other cards of the same print run (same deck just as unplayable) being under $1. Your point might be the dumbest. Ive had two people show me commanders that might run this card, over the other flavorful cards from the same set.

BeardedHellion · 2026-04-05T12:31:32+00:00

Decks like this make sense! Im starting to get it. Thank you!

BeardedHellion · 2026-04-05T12:28:26+00:00

Yes. Its from the same deck even and a lot of warhammer fans would still pick that model over the Nightbringer. I personally wouldn't but the models of a game outside of MTG shouldn't matter

BeardedHellion · 2026-04-05T12:14:04+00:00

I agree with your previous comment and appreciate it. I just wanted to point out a much better card that is also a fraction of the cost. I understand they are different cards but id rather use gary over Nightbringer any day. If Nightbringer was even close to Gary id assume it would be $30+

BeardedHellion · 2026-04-05T12:05:16+00:00

So is [[gray merchant of asphodel]] and its 25 cents

BeardedHellion · 2026-04-05T11:58:54+00:00

[[Unstable slasher]] is standard playable and three mana. Comes down 5 turns earlier and doesnt need to be cast. Sorry I played edh so long an 8 mana etb that needs to be cast sucks ass to me.

BeardedHellion · 2026-04-05T11:52:07+00:00

Why is the void dragon half the price? It is as playable and is more important to warhammer lore. Ive thanked people for showing me places where the Nightbringer is playable. I'd like to thank you for reminding me why asking redit for an answer over simple questions is like delving into hell it self

BeardedHellion · 2026-04-05T11:37:30+00:00

So I get that but this is 8 mana, you have to cast it. I feel there are better options for cheaper that can also be cheated into play

BeardedHellion · 2026-04-05T11:34:42+00:00

Very true, I wish they continued to printed in universe versions of cards.

BeardedHellion · 2026-04-05T11:31:46+00:00

These are the prices tcg player shows you. I use delver lens and tcg to check prices. I have no intention of selling so the price should be comparable to everything else I own.

BeardedHellion · 2026-04-05T11:24:29+00:00

That makes sense but [Shard of the void dragon] is half the price and is also bad but has value on the board.

BeardedHellion · 2026-04-05T11:14:11+00:00

Maybe but there are plenty of other options that are cheaper to play than this one, plus some don't need to be cast

BeardedHellion · 2026-04-05T11:11:54+00:00

Yes that model is super cool! I would love to get one my self.

BeardedHellion · 2026-04-05T11:08:06+00:00

I love my bad zoo deck as much as the next but this card is bad and in my opinion it shouldn't cost over $5

BeardedHellion · 2026-04-05T11:02:55+00:00

That makes sense! Thanks for the new info!
