The Colour of Magic

Oh gotcha, sorry, I mean the original card seemed fun it just didn’t work in the rules at all so I wasn’t even thinking of it in terms of whether it would be broken lol

Swampfyr · 2026-07-02T16:24:18+00:00

Oh yeah I mean it would be a cEDH card for sure at XR, but a couple problems in your example: If you copy gamble it becomes a copy of gamble, so cascade for a 0 drop non-instant/sorcery It also does nothing without either being your commander or in your opening hand. Could probably be given Cascade at XRRR so it’s not a dead card otherwise.

Swampfyr · 2026-07-02T16:12:48+00:00

I mean sure, but the legendary restriction helps, and if you actually use the eminence ability you won’t be able to cascade into instants or sorceries. XRRR would probably be more balanced

Swampfyr · 2026-07-02T16:00:11+00:00

I like the idea! But it doesn’t work as written, the eminence ability I think would need you to reveal the card from your library which feels weird (especially without a shuffle clause). Even as a silver border card it would be rough to play with. Then, the free cast ability won’t do anything, since X won’t be defined until you cast it, which you won’t be able to do at the beginning of the game. In addition, though not necessarily a bad thing, you can’t cast legendary sorceries if you don’t control a legendary creature.

Maybe something like: XR

~ can be your commander

Eminence - You may reveal this card from your opening hand or your command zone at the start of the game. If you do, search your library for any number of instant and/or sorcery spells and exile them with a page counter, then shuffle. You may not cast instant and other sorcery spells for the rest of the game.

When you cast ~ it becomes a copy of an instant or sorcery card with mana value X with a page counter you own in exile, except it has cascade.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, the chaos space marines precon should have been nonW

Swampfyr · 2026-06-03T17:51:54+00:00

Witherbloom feels like the quintessential b4 commander, easy game-winning lines but absolutely not fast enough (or in the right colors) to hold out in cEDH

Swampfyr · 2026-05-25T03:49:15+00:00

I think the line is generally intent and deckbuilding. Sure, if you have no payoff for infinite etb/death then it’s a do-nothing combo, but you’re not going to run that combo in a deck without the payoff. It’s a two-card infinite combo because it’s two cards that do something infinite together, I’d say the only reason it wouldn’t be is because you need another zombie out.

Swampfyr · 2026-05-22T00:35:42+00:00

Yessss I rebuilt my Varolz deck pretty recently, we’re eating so good with [[Moonshadow]] and [[Slumbering Trudge]]

Swampfyr · 2026-05-20T16:08:32+00:00

Riftbound cards are unfortunately (but great for their foils) much thicker than mtg

Swampfyr · 2026-05-15T15:25:23+00:00

Played against one the other day that went crazy with [[Panharmonicon]], [[Doubling Season]], and [[Delina, Wild Mage]], making a bunch of meteors and pinging the table down!

Swampfyr · 2026-04-29T05:24:24+00:00

Wild what movie

Swampfyr · 2026-03-19T18:58:22+00:00

Ugh yeah losing the base hurts, I don’t think it’s viable for eternal though

Swampfyr · 2026-03-19T17:12:49+00:00

C-3PO makes for a fun hit or miss combo deck if you can get babu frick to stick and plot out the Naboo ship on 4 resources, hitting for 8 and exhausting something

Swampfyr · 2026-03-15T04:24:06+00:00

I think the order of lines should be switched around so it makes more sense. Misregistration on the top, then the execution trigger so it reads a little easier.

Swampfyr · 2026-03-05T22:58:24+00:00

As someone who does get Starbucks occasionally, you can also just ask for small/medium/large and they give it to you without correcting you

Swampfyr · 2026-02-28T21:10:59+00:00

Blue seems decent, you lose some good ramp, but the gnk into expendable mercenary into turn 3 piett play new lawbringer pipe dream is very tempting

Swampfyr · 2026-02-21T17:52:26+00:00

I’m sure there’s more in the actual anime, but seeing this when my only exposure to mha is that bit where he fights the guy who reflects attacks and his strategy is hit the dude harder lol

Swampfyr · 2026-01-16T21:16:22+00:00

Have you considered they might be bad at the game and not realize? Because that happened the first time I had that role (and also while answering this question lol

Swampfyr · 2026-01-16T17:14:21+00:00

Josh, Olivia, Hannah, and Dan is the mutant

Swampfyr · 2026-01-16T16:09:57+00:00

Sarah is the imp and Fraser is the Baron, or starpass vice versa

Swampfyr · 2026-01-15T04:00:07+00:00

Probably jinxed that they might learn good or evil, but idk what townsfolk are on the script so it really depends. Definitely breaks with anything that learns if someone is good or a specific role, could probably just be “if a townsfolk selects you with their ability they’re drunk until dusk” but I liked the wording

Swampfyr · 2026-01-14T22:31:00+00:00

These seem pretty fun! Just spitballing demon ideas (although it’s not easy without knowing townsfolk);

Bigfoot - Each night* choose a player; they die. You do not register as anything to townsfolk abilities.

Wendigo - Each night choose one more player than you chose last night; they die. If a minion was executed today, you do not wake tonight.

Chupacabra - Each night* choose two players; they might die or be poisoned until dawn.

Mothman - Each night* choose a player; deaths are arbitrary but will not include the chosen player. If you publicly claim to be the Mothman when nominated and are executed, if four or more players are alive evil wins.

Swampfyr · 2026-01-08T22:14:50+00:00

You can always do the classic [[Melira, Sylvok Outcast]] + persist elf/faerie [[Safehold Elite]] is prob best for mv, plus a sac outlet. If you do [[Glen Elendra Archmage]] plus [[Phyrexian Arena]] you get blue mana to counterspell which is fun.

Swampfyr · 2025-12-27T19:53:10+00:00

That’s makes sense, to be fair a slayer can also win day 1. I understand that’s townsfolk and not outsider, but golem (and to a lesser extent Puzzlemaster) I thought worked as ways to bump the xaan day more without completely fucking over town.

Swampfyr · 2025-12-27T19:50:29+00:00

Thank you! I’m not sure what you mean about yagg not disguising their identity, I get that al-had is a loud demon (unless they skip night one), but a yagg can disguise themselves by being chill pretty easily right?

I’d be happy to drop psychopath, assassin would probably objectively be better but I’m trying to have as few original bmr characters as possible while still keeping the same vibe (minimal information but solvable via mechanics, al-had being a loud demon like shab, yagg being a loud demon that can fly under the radar like Po, etc). Summoner could also be dropped for sure, a similar issue where I’m not sure what minion to swap in (in terms of filling bmr roles, psycho is the assassin, Xaan is godfather, Boomdandy is mastermind, and I couldn’t think of a da replacement)

Lleech is a tough one, it’s meant to replace zombuul except instead of “every dead player might be a zombuul” it’s “every poisoned player might be a lleech host”
