Something about Liberator I saw happen on Arena that I would love to see built around was casting Deal Gone Bad pumping it to 3/4 , but targeting Liberator giving it -3/-3 making it a 0/1 until end of turn, then casting a 1 and a 2 cost giving it two more counters then when the turn passed and the -3/-3 went away it was a 5/6. Imagine a commander deck full of "Target creature gets -X this turn" spells that just speed pump Liberator

Also, Slicer technically is a color swapped Wheeljack - he's the Shattered Glass universe version (like the "Mirror Universe" from Star Trek the Original Series, with Decepticons the heroes and Autobots the bad guys. It's why there's also alternate art of them in Shattered Glass versions.)

One devious strategy I realized while building Tawnos is that there are a lot of birds with an etb that bounces any creature back to hand. With Tawnos out, that means you can have the copy etb and bounce an enemies creature, then when the original etbs it can bounce itself back to hand to play it again like its a free buyback.

While I get that they're not everyone's cup of tea, the Transformers cards are all great in that they're all pretty flavorful (like Starscream caring about the Monarch) and while they all are unique build around commanders, none of them are so obviously OP that it's a must build commander deck. Personally that's what I'd like to see out of Universes Beyond, cards that are great in flavor but not so strong they're instant staples in any deck that can run them. And by including them in pack instead of a Secret Lair, they're a lot easier to get ahold of, which is perfect. And if we're talking about artwork, pretty sure the art is drawn in the style of the cartoon, not just cropped stills of the show itself. And it's almost criminal to not talk about the Shattered Glass version, which also look great. (For those out of the know, Shattered Glass is essentially a dark version of the main story where the good guys are evil and vice-versa.) I get not liking them, but out of all of the Universes Beyond attempts so far this is one of, if not the best. (Closely contested by the WH40K decks, which are also really cool.)

Quick correction: Those Transformers cards are DEFINITELY not stills from the cartoon. Even excluding the Shattered Glass art, they're definitely images that have been created in the style of G1, rather than direct screencaps. Flamewar, for example, was never in the original Transformers show at all. So, more than "minimal effort" has been put into them: I like how they managed to make the card art so convincingly like the original show.

Gix is going to be super dependent on what you can pull off your opponents decks, and it also helps your opponents draw answers. K’rrik is very one dimensional though, so it just depends on your goals. K’rrik was getting boring to me and Gix is one of the coolest characters in magic imo, so it was an easy choice for me.

It’s fair to make the assumption if you’re tired of Universes Beyond in general but the cards do have artist names listed. So it’s easier to acknowledge it’s new art, c’mon now.

I think for a Mono White deck she just amplifies the "White Weeniee" or Tribal strategy of Soldiers and tokens incredibly well. White has gotten so many good cards from the last several sets, it's no longer a meme to say White is bad. Everything from it's card draw to ramp has gotten good card inclusions.

The fun part about the Transformers companion cards is the parallels between the stories. Two brothers (or as good as, depending on which universe) that initially mostly agreed on the direction things should go, then the falling out, then the war that manages to nearly wreck their world (in one universe one brother admitted their war basically *did* break the planet, whoops...) and before the war has ended, resources are drained to the point that the land is crying out in pain. Oh, also, loads of giant robots on the battleground. If they had released them with any other set, it just wouldn't have fit.

I'd say Commander Deck Urza (Chief Artificer) is the best Esper Artifacts commander we've ever been gifted. It'll almost always cast for less than retail, and pumping out a Karn-struct at the end of every turn demands an immediate answer, especially as if it makes around the board, it'll be swinging with menace. With BRO and DOMU having ways to ramp out powerstones, and Treasure creation being an evergreen Commander tactic, Urza Chief Artificer can roll deep with a ton of burly bots to wreck your opponents.

Regarding the lore!! Teferi is stranded in time, potentially on Zhalfir!! Which would be HUGE, because Zhalfir was both extremely technologically advanced compared to the rest of Dominaria, and it might not have been hit by the mending?? Which, if that is the case, there could be pre-mending walkers in Zhalfir. Imagine Urza or 9 Titans level walkers, in current magic lore. It could also be an explanation for where Aminatou is, but also it could be a really nice way of helping stop the Phyrexians just running over everything! And it'll provide a nice way of tying up Teferi's final hang-up (potentially ending with him dying fighting Phyrexia after bringing back Zhalfir, or maybe sacrificing his spark to do so??)

are you saying reading the card doesn't explain the card? i could only see people pointing at other cards on reddit (like Villainous Wealth) which have similar text and have the behavior you describe. the problem is that the text has a period before the "you may play card exiled this way" normally this does mean that the effect of being able to play the exiled cards is a persistent thing for as long as gix is in play. in fact untill there is offical errata on gatherer everyone should argue that this is how it should be interpreted. If there was no period then the ability would be tied to the activation of the ability tho. (also i can't find this release notes thing, also release notes aren't official errata)

@@romanostone6254 technically no because it's different wording than the eldrazi titans. Since it uses the word "instead" it is a replacement effect. Also, unearth is at sorcery speed so even if you could the unearth effect would be pointless

I am new to Magic the gathering. In general how well does commander decks work for other types of magic? Is it possible to get a pre-build commander deck and use the cards to play standard? (Or whatever the default MTG arena style is called).

No. The are occasionally some standard legal cards in commander decks, but they’re mostly not standard legal.
@cefor_plays3601
@cefor_plays3601 2 жыл бұрын
Not just the legality, but a commander deck is singleton (one card of each name max) and is a 100 card deck, rather than 60 card standard. In standard you can play up to 4 copies of a card. Basically, you would not have the cards you'd need for standard/pioneer/modern and other 60 card formats

@@cefor_plays3601 does attacking work the same way in Commander as in other formats? I mean, you only declare with what you attack and the defender decide how to block? I looked at some video and it sounded like they specified what creature to attack. But maybe it was no other creatures on the table.

@@Andre4sH Yes, same as normal. You declare attacks, defender declares blockers. Except, you declare which attackers are swinging at which player. You can also swing at a planeswalker directly. You can only decide which creature to fight if you have played a spell which makes your creatures fight (you'll know it when you see those cards).

As a looong time Feldon of the Third Path player (my favorite deck since it came out), I'm so excited for Loran, Disciple of History. While the two rares of Feldon and Loran were.....underwhelming to say the least, the UNCOMMON I feel has a lot of promise to be a good mono-white artifact deck. I do feel it was a huge missed opportunity to not give the two a "partner with"-pairing as supplementary commander cards, though.

Ty for saying teferi being here is odd; I thought I was going crazy when I saw him and was like, "oh, cool time travel story stuff like sarkhan vol, I didn't even play that set and I know that story; what's gonna happen?!?" and then he's sorta just there watching that's it. I get it with the set being the whole war (from Stones to Sylex) so he can't just play through it like a dnd campaign (SV was only back through time for barely anytime at all). Idk, I'm just pissed its mono blue teferi; now tempo has a planeswalker.

I'm completely fine with mechanically unique universes beyond cards as long as they keep being in standard booster packs or readily available pre-cons. Hopefully this is a sign that Wotc understands that availability was the main thing people didn't like about universes beyond. I'm okay with Darth Vader being in magic as long as it's a card I can crack in an actual pack and not a direct to consumer, 1 time only, buy it now or be forced to pay $30 for it secret lair thing.
