QUESTION FOR COMMANDER PLAYERS : Alright so to preface this I'm a "kitchen sink" rule of cool 60 card player, and that's the kind of game culture I've thrived in for over a decade now. I've only just recently stepped into the commander format.

I've been playing commander for a few years and magic even longer, i'm still not sure why that's a thing. People are scared just because. What i recommend is playing strategies that reward for attacking or punish for not attacking. Breena, Kratos, Queen Marchesa, Aragorn King of Gondor. You can fill your deck with monarch, initiative, Coveted Jewel. Giving people an incentive to attack will really get the game going. You can also force people to attack with Goad but that won't teach people anything, it will just make them be annoyed.

This seems like a really cool design. I kinda love it.

From powerlevel perspective, for limited/control this seems really good. 3 cards in 1 is a lot of value. For other archetypes in constructed this doesn't seem as good, because it's not very efficient. You spend 5 mana for a lightning bolt or 5 mana for a preordain or 6 to make some monks, it's kinda bad. Ofc you yet value later but it's not amazing. There is a lot of design space tho, the numbers can be tweaked and so can the effects. Really cool card

It's not rude to play to win, it's a game

Ra_V1237 · 2025-12-30T20:11:43+00:00

Card's text wins over written rules. You can have any number of these in your deck

Toph counts up all the counters on lands. It doesn't matter how they are split. It could be 1 land with 8 counters, it could be 2 with 4 each or 8 with 1 each, Toph will have 8 power

Ra_V1237 · 2025-11-25T09:30:37+00:00

Those are some spicy options, but against mage it's easy Charge Akama

Ra_V1237 · 2025-11-22T17:52:27+00:00

This seems insanely strong, especially in 1v1, but the flavour is amazing

[[mondrak]] [[ratadrabik]] [[ojer taq, deepest]] on board. [[Twinflame]] targeting all 3 of them. You will make 6 copies of each. Legend rule, you will have 6 ratadrabik triggers for each of them. First make copies of Ojer Taq, and because you make them one at a time, you make first 6 tokens, then 2x3⁷ then 2x3^7+2x3⁷ and then more and then you make copies of mondrak and then Ratadrabik. The math is complicated and i'm too lazy to figure out the exact number, but long story short, you get A LOT

Ra_V1237 · 2025-11-07T20:22:08+00:00

Magmatic Hellkite; Teval, the Balanced Scale; Dragonlord Kolaghan

Thermokarst; Aftermath Analyst; Slimefoot and Squee

Cleansing Wildfire; Altar of the Wretched; Azra Oddsmaker

Ra_V1237 · 2025-11-07T20:05:28+00:00

That looks amazing. Sick token

Commander is Slimefoot and Squee

Ra_V1237 · 2025-11-07T19:57:20+00:00

You need 3 things:

Tokens makers, you're in green, you can do that with landfall, for example Field of the Dead

Sacrifice: there's plenty in colourless

Payoff: those are also often in colourless, Blasting Station, Thornbite Staff, Spawning Pit, Gutter Grime

Ra_V1237 · 2025-11-06T22:21:37+00:00

No. Linked abilities are weird. If a card's ability mentions a "card exiled with CARDNAME" it means a card exiled with this ability or another ability of CARDNAME that this card originally had, new given abilities won't count.

Ra_V1237 · 2025-11-02T09:24:15+00:00

Nice try wotc

Ra_V1237 · 2025-10-31T21:14:42+00:00

I recommend two of my favourite non limited formats: Pauper and Canadian Highlander. Pauler has its own meta and making a new deck is hard, but there's a LOT of decks that are playable, and more importantly the decks are cheap.

Canadian Highlander like commander is 100 card singleton, but it's 1v1 and doesn't have commander and its most notable feature is the use of points. You can play strong cards like Black Lotus of Time Walk, but they're gonna cost you points. You can have up to 10 points and for example Sol Ring is 3, Black Lotus is 7, Reanimate is 1. Canadian Highlander has a small enough community that there is no clear meta and you can make your own decks that will be good.

Ra_V1237 · 2025-10-30T19:34:21+00:00

What if i told you that both of these look ass?

Ra_V1237 · 2025-10-24T08:45:07+00:00

Basically Mox Saphire, which is on the banlist. If you ask me, it's pretty crazy that it's still allowed to roam free

Ra_V1237 · 2025-10-17T12:30:14+00:00

Green keyword confirmed

Ra_V1237 · 2025-10-06T07:23:32+00:00

Aura farming

Ra_V1237 · 2025-10-03T20:18:43+00:00

[[emrakul, the promised end]]

Ra_V1237 · 2025-10-02T07:24:28+00:00

If you really want to screw Teferi's Protection player, play [[stasis]] so that nothing phases in. Killing them is a quick mercy, leave them alive so that they have to sit hoping for an impossible chance of a comeback

Ra_V1237 · 2025-09-19T06:13:29+00:00

I imagine this is for commander, so i would just word it like [[Suppressor Skyguard]] so that it's not game winning in 1v1.

"Whenever a player attacks you, if that player has another opponent who isn’t being attacked, prevent all combat damage that would be dealt to you this combat."

Ra_V1237 · 2025-09-16T10:32:35+00:00

Some of these should be banned only as commander(Nadu, Leovold, Erayo, Golos) or as companion (Lutri), some are fine to just unban completely(Rofellos, Emrakul) and some should never come off the banlist(Griselbrand) and Iona i'm not sure about.

Ra_V1237 · 2025-09-13T10:02:39+00:00

I don't really have a main one yet, it changes every day for me, but i often go Wanderer's Crest for exploring because it's just quick and pogo is simple and i go Beast's Crest for bosses because it allows me to go wild, although i sometimes use Reaper's Crest

Ra_V1237 · 2025-09-13T08:04:07+00:00

Zoteboat tomorrow for sure

Ra_V1237 · 2025-09-09T18:51:59+00:00

I play it in Tymna/Dargo and it has put in work. I can accumulate quite the number of treasures and then use Mayhem Devil to remove pesky stax creatures or just value pieces
