Bought my brother the sidar precon for his first deck, not even 50 bucks put into it he was slapping my group around like the rest of us were playing go fish or something. Dude goes nuts with double strike if left unchecked

Good timing brother! Just building a Tivit deck, and I totally slept on the voting mechanic! Was concentrating on the time sieve combo for extra turns. Keep on putting out the good work brother.

My brother is home for the holidays which means I’m playing against Marneus Calgar a lot these days. He plays my decks and that’s his favourite because he’s a huge 40k fan. I’ve improved on the precon a fair bit and he often makes me regret it. Gotta love to see it.

Tivit slaps brother, one of my favorite things to do is to use cyberdrive awakener to turn all those clues and treasures into 4/4 flyers. Not to mention Academy manufacture triples the amount of tokens we make, such a versatile commander.

I'm loving Master of Keys but imo an underrated Esper commander is Raffine, Scheming Seer. Connive is such a sick mechanic, but really dont see much outside of Ledger. I feel like surveil kind of overshadowed it. But Raffine just lets you churn through your deck pretty efficiently.

This takes me back. My friend built an Ertai deck back a few years back which was Merfolk kindred. I don't remember too much about it but I know it used Lullmage Mentor, who creates a 1/1 Merfolk token when you counter a spell. He also used Merrow Reejerey to untap Ertai whenever a Merfolk spell was cast/Stonybrook Angler which can also untap. Finally, to create Blue mana he used the Merfolk Sea Scryer. There was an enchantment he used that untapped each merfolk at the end of the turn. It was the best control deck I've seen in a while. Honestly, since Ixalan & the caverns set dropped, the deck probably would be even better if someone rebuilt it. There is also those kindred reanimation spells that reanimate all creature of the same type; that didn't exist when he had this.

Yeah, unexpected creature type synergies are always a good time. I like merfolk too.

Speaking of Esper, I still regret not buying a Zur before Duskmourn. Had my eye on it for a while before then, and figured it would go up maybe a dollar or two, but not nearly as much as it did. Had also been eyeing Sidar, so may go with them instead.

Another cool one I’ve recently started theorizing for is bane lord of darkness, he is pretty much the de facto clones commander being able to clone something, then have it die and either draw a card or put another clone into play for free

Esper is the Bestper! I want to build them all! I have Tivit. I mainly wanted to focus on voting, but of course I have a Time Sieve for when the game is going nowhere. All those extra voting cards help you gain a bunch of extra advantage. And there's a card that allows you to select how everyone votes for the entire turn that casts for one blue mana and draws a card! I abuse that with some of the really nasty ones and of course usually give myself all the treasures from Tivit. A lot of other cool options here. I have Marneus in one of my decks because of all the value he provides. Saruman really is tempting me to build him next. Ertai might find a home in the 99 of a deck of mine because he's sweet as well. Heck, even in the Saruman deck, he could be great

I dunno Saruman seems really interesting and potentially very powerful and I almost built it. My main hold up is it seems like it would be conducive to excessively complex board states/ decision trees ergo super long turns. I dunno just too much of a headache. I’ve been playing for over 20 years and I more and more appreciate not having to think as much when I play 😂😂😂

I definitely feel that. Keeping track of all the graveyards is a lot
