Each of the face commanders for this set had an ability called Eminence. Like the other decks released in this product, the Heavenly Inferno deck had a couple of great ideas that were spread a little too thin. There was also a cycle of signature spells for each face commander that had an effect related to the relevant permanent type (or top card of your library). Animar, Soul of Elements was probably the most popular. Card Game Base is unofficial Fan Content permitted under the Fan Content Policy.

Each deck contains just three new cards, and the rest are reprints. Let me know down below which Commander deck was your favorite. Second, the theme for this year was tribal. This mechanic let you cast the spell for 1 less generic mana for each opponent you had. Maybe Rograkh, Son of Rohgahh and Ardenn, Intrepid Archaeologist (cliffside excavations? Every year, one of the most exciting products that Wizards releases are the Commander pre-constructed decks or Commander precons. Since this is the “Year of Commander” and with Commander Legends right around the corner, I want to talk about each and every Commander deck that Wizards has released in paper. More than once in Commander’s history, players have tried to build decks around keyword mechanics that just did not have enough support. Experience counters were not the only new mechanic for this set though. 2017 was a year that Wizards of the Coast tried a few new things with the Commander precons. One of these was the confluence cycle. More importantly, it’s likely to get some people interested in Commander, as I think the art of Aesi certainly imposes a sense of unfathomable scale. In the past, Rogues have had a few strong commanders, but Anowon, the Ruin Thief brings something new to the table. Having exhausted all possible three-color combinations in the previous two products, Wizards decided to get creative with this year’s decks. Do you prefer the power of the seas or of steel? Prossh, Skyraider of Kher has been beloved by casual and competative players alike. He was the grandfather of the C17 tribal Commanders with the Eminence mechanic. Akiri lends much-needed protection with her second ability, but Wyleth also helps to mitigate some of the downsides of Voltron — notably, putting all of your eggs in one basket, only to have your basket go tumbling and eggs go all Humpty-Dumpty after a Tragic Slip — so long as you get to attack. Arcane Wizardry is a creature-based control deck that tries to get extra value from Inalla’s eminence ability. Admittedly, the Arcane Maelstrom deck does not have a lot to do with Ikoria mechanically. The ‘cost’ of returning a land is hardly a cost at all: there’s a reason that Mina and Denn, Wildborn (10,488 decks), Storm Cauldron (1,413 decks), Trade Routes (1,911 decks), and Ghost Town (1,863 decks) all see play in over 1,400 decks each. Many said that the reprints were underwhelming and the decks were not worth the extra $5 USD Wizards was charging for them. Merciless Rage wants to discard a ton of cards and get value from them. Finally, Blazing Sunsteel is really interesting, if a bit wonky. Often times these tokens were 4/4 Rhinos or some other similar threat that quickly took over games. You know, like Gyrados. Each of the face Commanders cared somehow about the command zone. While not entirely exciting with Aesi, Tyrant of Gyre Strait, we’re sure to see this in Hydra-centric decks like Zaxara, the Exemplary and Gargos, Vicious Watcher, as well as other +1+1 commanders like Verazol, the Split Current, Animar Soul of Elements, or maybe Pir, Imaginative Rascal and his hyperdontia-ridden side-kick spawned from a nightmarish trip to the dentist Tooth Collector: Toothy, Imaginary Friend. Notably, you do lose out on the life gain, which can be particularly potent with Glacial Chasm, or even a win condition in its own right with Aetherflux Reservoir. This is a keyword ability that allows you to cast the spell for cheaper if it is the first card you draw in a turn. What it lacked in flashiness, though, it made up for by containing Dockside Extortionist. Each one made a splash in the Commander format. Hello folks! Most notably, Verge Rangers is a new card in a series of white cards that Wizards has printed to increase the power level of white in Commander. With another slate of Commander Preconstructed decks hitting the shelves in Commander 2018, and people getting a chance to play with them in real life for a bit, now is the best time for me to ask this simple question: which Commander Precons are the best?. I believe that the C20 precons this year will be like the C16 precons in that they will have one 4 … Wyleth, Soul of Steel‘s ceiling, however, is as high as… well, the armory. Once it has, it will either overrun you with the army of tokens it has made, get value from removing the counters and sacrificing the creatures, or a combination of the two. Although this deck is not exactly a tribal elves deck, Ezuri, Claw of Progress works in a similar way. Anje Falkenrath, the face commander for this deck, was probably the most competitive individual commander to come out of this set (if not K’rrik, Son of Yawgmoth, who also showed up in this deck). Each deck was only a single color and each commander was a planeswalker with the text “[cardname] can be your commander”. It is an Izzet deck that cares about artifacts. Speaking of upgrades, you can find how to make the deck better in the Reap the Tides Upgrade Guide.

Each face commander is equipped with an ability that gives the player experience counters. Fortunately, this deck’s primary function is to help you choose exactly which card is the best to draw first on any given turn. Have the best value? This deck combined two themes in a clever way.
