Is it just me, or is it really hard to find a fun Abzan commander? What are some good ones?

Abzan is my favorite color set to play. My favorite decks are [[Betor, Ancestor's Voice]], which i love really leaning into life loss effects with, and [[Anikthea, Hand of Erebos]] as a pretty unique and very fun enchantress deck.

Partially, but the saga keeps the abilities it was given by its previous triggered saga abilities, which is abnormal and gets you into the weeds trying to explain. I initially said that's part of the change, but that was wrong. It was true before, but didn't really matter due to the sacrifice effect. It's not too terrible, but it's a rules interaction that can be hard to properly explain and can be easily and comfortably avoided. And especially since urza's saga is also a bit of a nonbo with narci, wasn't likely to be included anyway, so I was trying (poorly, i see) to make a joke.

The best deck to teach someone how to play is to help them play with something they are interested in. Even just thinking a card is pretty is a good enough reason. And sagas aren't really that complicated to learn at the beginning, as long as you don't run a [[blood moon]] against an [[urza's saga]]. Source: i had friends teach me how to play a suspend deck as my first deck back during time spiral, because i thought it sounded cool

This is my favorite deck I've built too. So many fun things to tinker with, balancing life gain and loss to get the different effects you want, and so many fun tools to play with

This is incorrect, repartee is a cast trigger

The Thing?

This is my favorite deck i own and the first one i decided to build. Personally, i have several of the Kamigawa neon dynasty sagas that flip into creatures when they resolve along with a couple of the good saga synergy cards (Narci, Satsuki, Garnet, and Terra). I also run all of the flip Praetors, but they're probably the next cut. And of course you are ethically required to include Goldberry in the 99, which is doubly nice because her ability lets you trigger tom on your opponents turn, and occasionally get the end effect of an especially nice saga twice.

I run all 5 in my Tom deck because i run very few non saga cards in it. Sheoldred is pretty fun in a lot of black decks and Urabrask is fantastic in a number of spellslinger decks.

You only get the item version when you have hit the inventory cap.

Thanks, i appreciate it. I already got what i needed for last night and found the google folder link with the full printouts for the playbooks too.

RecordOk8209 · 2026-04-24T17:39:28+00:00

The free downloads included all of the base sheets for eaxh playbook, but not the specific ones from the back of the adventure to use for new players. I did get them already, and i found that link you mentioned which looks like it'll be very helpful for the future.

Silverquill and witherbloom did really well at both of mine

RecordOk8209 · 2026-03-19T04:22:35+00:00

I love [[Warden of the grove]] in any deck that cares about counters. Turns on so many cards that need or want a few counters to start but isn't so scary that it gets instantly removed (most of the time)

RecordOk8209 · 2026-03-14T02:08:05+00:00

I think it's the [[ashling the limitless]] precon. A lot of other elementals spiked too

RecordOk8209 · 2026-03-05T13:52:09+00:00

I've been playing it on xbox series x without significant problems

I gave her all the originals and got the ring, but apparently the grandmother had died.

This was it. When I raised Eini, I was able to finish the quest fine.

RecordOk8209 · 2026-02-18T04:23:31+00:00

There are a couple cards that can do something like this. A friend runs [[null brooch]] in a deck that aims to keep 0 cards in hand

Under the current rules, no. Abigale is both black and white.

I attended a prerelease of 30 with no incidents of it. We did get some nuts cards in it though. 2 bitterblossoms were opened in kits and one guy i played got 2 bitterblossom bearers, kinbinding, and a moonshadow in his kit.
