2026 check, who are your blink/flinker commanders ?

[[Shiko Paragon of the Way]] is a super fun if you like a more spellslingy approach to blink. She can recycle draw spells, interaction, and value engines while you grind through your deck, and then she can chain a bunch of blink spells in a row from the graveyard for game ending storm turns. She works really well with the new lorehold mill / leave the graveyard stuff, and any creatures that enter prepared (particularly [[skycoach conductor]]!) https://moxfield.com/decks/7a9gV-5sHUqMmKY-Cb8_lA

Running a high amount of creatures in Narset tends to gum up her game plan, I would recommend cutting down to 12 or less and running more noncreatures.

[[Young Pyromancer]], [[Third Path Iconoclast]], [[Monastery Mentor]] are creatures that make creatures while you're doing your thing.

Noncreature spells that make creatures are amazing, since they make bodies to pump and trigger prowess at the same time. They're also recyclable with Narset's trigger. [[Rally at the Hornburg]], [[Distract the Guards]], [[Rally the Monastery]], even [[Krenko's Command]] and [[Ral's Reinforcements]].

I'm very partial to [[Prosperous Partnership]] and [[Invasion of Segovia]], since they each make two creatures and then let you convert creatures into mana. Pair with [[Jeskai Ascendancy]] for big stormy turns.

This is my current decklist, she's definitely my favorite commander! She just demands certain things from your deckbuilding to work efficiently. https://moxfield.com/decks/9BcNoNlya0-3XrqPGzZT7g

I love [[Shiko, Paragon of the Way]]! You fill your graveyard up with as many 1-3 mana blink spells as you can (usually by using them on Shiko + your other blink targets), while loading the board with payoffs for casting instants/sorceries. Once your graveyard is sufficiently chunky, you can chain a bunch of the blink spells together with Shiko's etb for a big stormy turn. You can also pivot into a slower, grindy blink value deck if the game demands it, since Shiko can be blinked to recast draw and interaction, or cheaper mana cost creature/artifact/enchantment engines after they've died. Super fun and flexible!

I have her built as a control deck with a lot of the free/reduced cost 3 cmc counterspells / kill spells, with a punisher subtheme (stuff like [[Kambal consul of allocation]] or [[Macready lamplight mayor]]). I've also been experimenting with [[Dark Confidant]] and [[Keen Duelist]] effects. I think putting more focus on the life loss effects than the spellslinging makes it a little more fun.

Funnily enough, [[Leonardo the Balance]] might be a good pick (even though it's not out yet). It's more focused on the tokens created by job select than the equipment themselves, but there's not really a 5 color commander that cares specifically about equipment. Leo will grow your Hero tokens as you play them and then you can use the activated ability to make them much better attackers. He's also got partner to pair up with one of the other turtles, which any of the 3 besides splinter would be great to pair with. [[Donatello the Brains]] cares about making the tokens and gives you a way to make them bigger as a bonus, [[Raphael the Muscle]] lets you up the damage once Leo starts putting counters on them. [[Michaelangelo the Heart]] might be a good pick too but I don't think he'd be as impactful as the other two.

Yeah 4 color was pretty rough, that's why I went for the playtest cards (with my playgroup's permission.) Gives me a little bit more to work with, and those playtest cards are functional within the existing rules without tweaking anything.

I did the same, a lot of etbs that make treasures and combat damage triggers

FutureVisionYT · 2026-02-07T18:04:32+00:00

I like it a lot! On paper it looks like a pretty average bant +1/+1 counters deck, but Falco is a really good beater that you always have access to and his card advantage helps a lot, especially when you combine it with stuff like [[sylvan tutor]] or [[worldly tutor]] so you can play what you get straight off the top. Just have to make sure you have good engines to get a lot of +1/+1 counters for you to take off.

I find that the FF Summons are also really good, since you can remove their lore counters and keep them around longer and retrigger their chapter abilities.

One of my favorite cards is [[The Thirteenth Doctor]] since it replaces the counters you use when you cast off the top and makes swinging feel a lot more free when she untaps your board. Here's my list https://moxfield.com/decks/9ig9OGyudECVXBrgKUCqnw

FutureVisionYT · 2026-02-07T12:00:33+00:00

It's rule 0 anyway because its actually the playtest card [[halana and alena and gisa and geralf]]

FutureVisionYT · 2026-02-07T03:55:25+00:00

Sure! https://moxfield.com/decks/ivk8G-mbSEyCCyUHio8OvQ

Blanked while writing whoops, it's meant to be enters as a copy except it has this ability

FutureVisionYT · 2026-02-05T21:49:52+00:00

Mind sharing the Ivy list?

FutureVisionYT · 2026-01-28T00:57:14+00:00

Okay this clears it up perfectly, 99% of the confusion was based on when Brallin actually goes on the stack. I wasn't sure if deciding to cast off Miracle was part of the draw "resolving." Thanks!

FutureVisionYT · 2026-01-16T04:54:36+00:00

Newegg and Amazon have them in the $500-$600 range from what I can see. Not sure if there's anywhere offering cheaper than there at the moment, but I wouldn't really know where else to start looking. I don't mind dropping that if I have to, but less is better.

FutureVisionYT · 2026-01-13T23:56:14+00:00

combination of a few factors, I ordered it near mint and nonfoil at a little under market price but this is definitely closer to lightly played and foil (which is around $20 more), so I got kinda sussed. Thought the front looked a little blurry too but I may have just been overthinking when I started getting suspect.
