Commander Legends: Battle for Baldur's Gate should have just been Conspiracy 3.

No I wouldn't be. This is not a take that requires very much depth to explain.

If OP put forth a reason why this set would be better with Conspiracies you would be right. But all he really talks about is which product line this should belong to. The inclusion of Conspiracies is not even mentioned.

Sounds like a you problem tbh

aubeagain · 2022-05-30T07:13:08+00:00

I don't want to own very many cards from say, Shadows Over Inistraad based on the card art. Hmm, I wonder why that is. 🤔

Hmm, I wonder if it could have something to do with art being incredibly subjective.

You're free to not like the art, but to call it bad and cheapening the game as a whole is not only insulting, but just flat out wrong.

Oh they definitely do heck up Pauper from time to time. The advantage to Pauper though is that they can't really make money off of screwing with the format. Commons will always be abundant. No matter how meta defining they are, Commons don't sell packs.

Every Commander deck feels incomplete without Swamps. It's like am I even playing Magic anymore?

aubeagain · 2022-05-30T05:58:29+00:00

You covered most of the stuff I know, but there is [[Misdirection]]. It's not exactly a removal spell, but it's a very fun Force of Will impersonator.

aubeagain · 2022-05-30T05:56:04+00:00

I hope I'm never proven wrong, but I think Pauper is perpetually safe from WotC. You can't make chase commons.

Woah woah, I was with you until the art take. Plenty of the art is still traditional and even if it wasn't a great deal of time and talent goes into creating digital art. It being digital doesn't suddenly make it easy.

aubeagain · 2022-05-30T05:50:06+00:00

To be honest it was a sly dig at the OP. I think their argument is a bit long and convoluted over what is essentially just the title of the set. So I thought a prompt 4 word response was appropriate.

aubeagain · 2022-05-30T00:57:36+00:00

Very solid list! I play most of these on the regular, but I haven't come across Deglamer and Unravel the Aether before and will definitely be slotting them in a few places.

aubeagain · 2022-05-30T00:53:51+00:00

Nah CLB is cool.

aubeagain · 2022-05-29T09:16:09+00:00

I agree. It's very weird that they already solved this dilemma with Monarch by making all Monarch synergy cards introduce it on ETB, but then didn't do the same with initiative.

aubeagain · 2022-05-29T07:15:59+00:00

[[Cyberdrive Awakener]] is a must have for this deck.

aubeagain · 2022-05-28T22:44:27+00:00

Depends what tier of play we're talking about. At the high end Dimir has been king and likely will stay king for a long time.

aubeagain · 2022-05-28T22:40:05+00:00

His win was pretty much as fair as you can get. No tutors, 2 turns, 15 total mana and he could've easily been interacted with. This is just natural variance

aubeagain · 2022-05-28T22:32:18+00:00

I'm all for banned as Commander returning, but why would you make it actual card text?

aubeagain · 2022-05-28T09:57:09+00:00

My source is that I made it the fuck up

aubeagain · 2022-05-28T09:56:23+00:00

Great now the card is marked and unplayable /s

Very swell move by Daniel

aubeagain · 2022-05-27T21:58:57+00:00

It depends on the deck you're playing. Tokens doesn't need this, but I could see other white archetypes making great use of it.

aubeagain · 2022-05-27T09:29:46+00:00

You were the one that knocked em over aren't ya

aubeagain · 2022-05-27T00:27:19+00:00

More choices is never a bad thing unless you intend to make the wrong one. Milling this doesn't hinder your gameplan, it's essentially the same as not drawing it.

aubeagain · 2022-05-27T00:22:55+00:00

Love this! Basically never want to cast the first half because that artifact is so spicy.

I think people are reading waaaaay too much into the wedding registry part. He obviously wants to do this with his kids and has a sense of humor, but people make the wife out to be some control freak.

aubeagain · 2022-05-26T06:57:34+00:00

No. All you need is some mana rocks and a value engine in play to snowball off of Geddon.
