The Council of Four can conceivably draw you 4 cards and make you 4 2/2 Knights per turn cycle without giving your opponents any benefits, because they want to be drawing cards and playing more than a single spell on their turn anyway! Mitch instantly thought Howling Mine effects and then disregarded this card. Slotting Council of Four into my Raffine deck, because drawing cards is the best part of Magic and the incidental 2/2 tokens will give me more Connive triggers 👌🏻

@@michaedove3562 even with that in mind I still think Council of Four should be bumped up a tier. Unlike Gluntch, where you can’t avoid helping your opponents, Council of Four does exactly what the flavor text says; puts a price on ambition. Run it as a control deck and now it’s one of few commanders that benefits when your opponents try to pull ahead, and also stops them at the same time. There’s definitely better control commanders out there in UW (Taigam… Grand Arbiter… I could go on) but the council is actively benefiting from your opponents trying to win in a way few other commanders do

I built my wife a Tasha deck. I made more of a "What's your's is mine" deck. Cards like Thief of Sanity, Xanathar, etc. She still gets the "When you cast a spell you don't own" trigger for her Demon tokens. Plus a steal/mill sub-theme makes it easier to take people's instants & sorceries out of their graveyards with Tasha, among other things with other cards. Then plenty of token generators and several Walls to help defend Tasha helps out a bunch. A few permanent bounce spells to save Tasha, or even slow her opponents have been beneficial. She loves the deck, but obviously everyone is entitled to their opinion. I was just happy with how the deck runs because it's done pretty well so far. Could use some improvements, but I'd say it's roughly about a 7 in power where it's at.

Mahadi is overrated: he would be A-tier if he would be 0/7, but 3/3 is quite difficult to leave on the board when you wipe it.

I kind of disagree about Minthara, Merciless Soul. IMO she should be in the C tier or lower. Since her trigger to gain experience counters only happens on your end step, she's only going to rake up 3-4 experience counters at most in an average game. Unless you are successfully going wide as well as staying to both the "sac every turn" and trying to proliferate as much as you can, the best case is something any mono green or Selesnya counters deck can do without missing a beat.

Note: I was almost going to build her, then some basic math stopped me. I'd rather have a Refined Grizzly in the command zone than scramble my brain trying to make her work.

I got Gorion at my prerelease, sadly I didn't draw many adventure stuff so I tried to go a Myriad route plus iron mastiff. Myriam is nuts tho, got stomped.

I think the ability to be the one person no one want to kill at the table is underrated in commander, especially limited. Glunch is decent in limited imo.

That's true. It's a good commander to survive in the table. Also you can have lot of protection with differents kind of fogs i think. Not bad

@@C3ss95 yea sure. I think you’ll probably like ninjas/rouges then. Anowan the ruin thief i can suggest if you want to build a sneaky style deck. Also i can suggest Prosper tome-bound and evelyn the covetous is you’re into vampire because they drain their life and you gain life back. It really depends on your playstyle tbh im not sure what type of player you are. But all 3 of them i recommend and are very fun to play with/against.

The council of four gives you a card advantage even on your own turn smh and even with this I believe if this is your commander you are still get that second spell even after using a one mana during your turn.

Lozhan should be higher, I run it in my Ganax+Feywild deck and it is a "kill on sight" card that can get out of hand very fast for slinging damage at faces or other problem creatures. The fact it can't hit commanders is almost inconsequential.

From my experience, the party precon commander is insane. It doesn't sound powerful on paper, but it gets wild easily

I don't fully understand your argument for putting The Council of Four in the D-tier. In most commander games I play, players often times draw more than 1 card or play more than 1 spell in a turn without any (active) help from me anyway - and the card includes yourself aswell. So anything that only draws you a card automatically adds an additional card draw if you play it during your turn, anytime any other player casts something like a Deadly Dispute, you draw a card. Opponent ignored 2 Rhystic Study triggers from another opponent - you feel less bad because you also draw a card. And that is not to mention spell-slinger decks that routinely play 2+ spells a turn, which happens regularly in the late game anyway for other decks - that can make you quite a lot of knights.
