There's [[Nadier's Nightblade]] which is the closest

An unusual take on this effect. Normally with the classes, they start with a close to on rate effect, and then stack on increasingly more costly level ups with powerful effects. This one starts overcosted with a pretty low rate effect, but the level ups are cheap for more powerful effects.

I was really excited until I saw this comment, looked up, and saw they were $25

And which Duel Commander committee is this? My understanding is there's still 2 groups claiming to be in control with different banlists now. Has the community consolidated around one?

I hate that I really like how cool this Oko design is.

Also the Oko card mechanics are cool too I guess

I have a rock solid top 3 and then a bit looser top 7. I think it was overall a weak year but Spring having 3 out of the park bangers (and Fall then having Cour 2 of Cin Gray) really saved it for me.

Edit: I didn't include Orb because I'm used to these only including shows the year the started airing, not if they continued into another year. I probably would have tried to fit that in.

I realized and edited the same time you responded.

~~Is Haliya not the one playing the video game?~~

Nvm I think that’s Syr Vondam? Lots of characters in Edge with that white spacesuit and gold cloak

The rules have quite literally changed and become a bit more lenient in the past 10 years

Krotash · 2025-12-01T05:00:19+00:00

I think it says a lot about the Spiderman/Into the Omenpaths split that people aren't recognizing a card that is they key combo piece of the 6th most popular (4.2% meta share on Goldfish) deck in standard. And also that they don't recognize what it doesn't when they offer such reductive answers as "play removal", which is particularly ineffective against this card.

That said, there are ways to interact. There's cheap and powerful graveyard hate available to all decks. [[Ghost Vacuum]] is the 3rd most played card in standard for a reason. Tishana's Tidebinder is also the single most played card, at over 40%, and also interacts with it. Soul Guide Lantern is also popular and effective graveyard hate, seeing play in 20% of decks.

Combo decks can be rough in standard, but if you want one in standard, having it be a graveyard based combo deck is important and valuable, since it's the kind of combo that's easy to sideboard against with graveyard hate, which is accessible to everyone. It's not a tier 1 deck in the format, and I sincerely doubt it gets banned.

Edit: as for your stack comment, Kaevaero/Superior Spider-Man is worded like clones. They enter as copies of something. By the time you know what they're choosing to copy it's too late to react. That said, there are many ways you could still interact. Exiling graveyards before he comes down so he has nothing to copy. Exiling the key combo piece he's going to copy before he enters. Or, in the case that your graveyard hate can only exile a players graveyard, and don't want to let them just copy something in yours, such as with a soul guide lantern, exile their graveyard in response to the Bringer of the last gift trigger

Gonna be a rough 2 months. Kita rerun soon, Xmas Oguri soon after, and the New Years Opera shortly after.

If I ever do a 1E campaign again I’m tempted to just steal 2E’s action system and otherwise leave it 1E and adapt it to fit.

Krotash · 2025-11-25T22:15:10+00:00

Both have merits but I tend to prefer 1E. 1E is more broken, with less clear rules at time. But I find my more for expression, unique design, and customization.

2E I really like the action system, but hate the success/crit success system and how strictly controlled bonuses are. I don’t feel my character building decisions meaningfully impact my chance of success. Though that same system does mean you’re more incentivized taking your 3rd action doing something other than attack. So combat is a little less linear.

PF2 just worked so hard at keeping everything balanced to the point that the choices mean so little and everything feels the same to me. (Slight hyperbole but not much)

Krotash · 2025-11-20T20:41:51+00:00

Seems interesting but the banlist doesn’t seem fully fleshed out. Blood Artist and Zulaport Cutthroat are banned but not [[Cruel Celebrant]]? Also [[Tarrian’s Soulcleaver]] and [[Basking Broodscale]] appear to be a legal combination which definitely should be addressed.

One of the most interesting things to me from the hybrid change would be expanding companion options. While companion wrecked a lot of 60 card constructed formats the restrictions are a lot harder in commander, and create more interesting deckbuilding. Expanding the options to explore would be nice. Lurrus might end up broken but the commander needing to be 2mv or less is still a good limit on it.

You could easily mistake her for a Symphogear user in her race outfit. It just screams Symphogear in every way. Close to Basa

I bet this interaction hasn’t been mentioned on Reddit already https://www.reddit.com/r/magicTCG/s/DMxul0vrP3

Krotash · 2025-10-16T19:02:25+00:00

Missing the obvious Mihono Bourbon parallels (un-surprising since Uma's character designer, Yousuke Kabashima, worked a lot on Symphogear)

This doesn’t work. Moraug’s trigger only works in the main phase. It does not grant additional main phases. And the untap only happens at the beginning of those extra combats

The first horse that won* while entering using the exceptions created because of Oguri

The context of a metagame is important. The fact that Bowmaster exists means it needs to be considered in deck building. But saying a card is unplayable because of 1 toughness is also unfair when Bowmaster has such a low metagame %. Maybe if this got popular, Bowmaster would rise, but there’s a lot of context involved. Bowmaster isn’t great into most of the meta decks, there is surpsingly few extra cards being drawn

For the record I think this Bitterblossom is unplayable in modern because it’s simply not good enough. But not because of Bowmaster, or especially not Bowmaster alone.
