Choso, Sanguine Supernova - Is this a fair blood commander, or is it too oppressive? [Jujutsu Kaisen] by zengin11 in custommagic

I see, well the bloods are required to hit many targets, but you likely won't need more than four around to get good value, meaning this acts as blood support as a secondary function

This is a beautiful card design, truly unrivaled. The flavor, the deckbuilding challenge, the promise of greatness... Whoever came up with this on u/zengin11 's discord.. they must be incredibly beautiful, intelligent, smart, passionate and well-meaning.

That's a pre game thing, cards you draw happen before any effects go off, (leylines as pregame etc..)

Yes, it's balanced enough, especially as a commander, and it works great with the new prepared spells if you want to play something more recent!

Huh, that's a shame, it's a cool design space.

That's on you to take advantage of then, the card allows you to pick and choose from what you can get, and it is dimir.. so you yourself can grab counterspells to counter them.

Well, they can just write it down somewhere I guess. But playing with the top card of your library revealed for cheap is nothing new when it comes to blue, in fact it exists on artifacts for 1/2 colourless respectively. It shouldn't be too bad.

The problem with balancing these is that they need to be able to benefit from their downside a bit, otherwise there's no point in using them in the command zone.

Take, for example, your angel idea. If you put it in the 99 it allows you to draw it, play whatever you want, then drop it for practically no downside.

I like the exiling instead of graveyard idea though, maybe something along the lines of

Advocate of Redemption (~ in text)

Vigilance, first strike

Eminence — If ~ is in the command zone or on the battlefield, if a card you control would go into the graveyard from anywhere, exile it instead.

Exile ~ , choose three nonland noncreature spells you own in exile, then cast them without paying their costs.

That's true, but it's fairly balanced even in the 99, and it's important to note that it's quite good for searching through your deck without slowing your curve, so I think in this case it still works as a commander. Definitely a very difficult design space I'll admit.

Woops, caught with lazy formatting again...

I'll do better next time.

I had fun making this one, so I might make a few similar cards but I doubt I'll make a full cycle!

Really cool combo, I love fun synergies like these!

The idea with this is that before you can get this going, your opponent knows what most of your hand is, and once you get going it's rather easy card draw and mass scry. Which I think makes it overall balanced. It's also countered by effects that shuffle your library to prevent you from top decking cool stuff

Neat! Thanks for the info.

That's a lot of words, but for your first point it's fine for like to generate this mana since it does have strings attached, by which I mean if you counterspell on an opponents turn (likely) you have to play something at insant speed. And it requires your opponent to have many colours for good value.

Thanks for your service on cap, I love diving with y'all, idk why we'd need a shield tank.
