Like I said, that card is a reprint. And cloning your stuff in green seems perfectly in color anyway.
Leftover from yesterday
Reprint
This is pretty cool, and works with any Egg, not just a token. Speaking of which,
I see they're using "Do this X times" instead of "Repeat this X times", which caused a lot of confusion.
Glad goad has become multi-player evergreen.
Mono-green has always been able to make copies of its own stuff and turn things into its own stuff.
Those are all such different applications of copying though. Those all feel green in a way, they copy themselves or things you own/control. I recognize it's a reprint, but Bramble Sovereign feels more blue in the way it copies anything.
C19 - Selesnya Eulogist; Ohran Frostfang; Voice of Many; Tectonic Hellion; Hour of Reckoning; Shamanic Revelation

C19 - Song of the Worldsoul
OP
OP
There's Voice of All, but this isn't all, just a lot.
Bramble Sovereign is from Battlebond, so it was bent slightly to allow you to help your teammate. In a normal game you'll basically only ever use it to copy your own stuff.
ohran frostfang is quite a scary snek
i cant believe i might actually be interested in playing a naya deck

That's not what he meant. Copying any of your creatures, especially if you're playing green, is a lot scarier than making another Polyraptor.
I'm glad that we can at the very least call it a bend. I mean, it's not the end of the world as a card. It just feels slightly out of place to me every time I see it. It's worth noting that it copies any non-token creature if you have the mana, not just yours. I don't know who did or didn't miss that. It can cause some really wacky stuff to happen.
The copy comes in under the control of the player who played the original; you don't get the copy even though you pay the mana. Again, in a normal game it basically just copies your own creatures because you're not going to want to pay to give your opponents extra creatures.
I understand how the card works and where the tokens go. It's a good card to use to gain allies and friends in political games.
I can't wait for Marisi to get to Westeros and break that coil. I've got a good feeling everything'll turn out A-OK.

No "Magus of" card in these decks, but when we learn the reason why, we'll be ashamed of our words and deeds.
We'll think it's a dumb reason no doubt.
This Naya deck looks great.
C19 - Thragtusk

Thragtusk reprint
Hard to believe its Standard heyday was so long ago. It actually would be a good Teferi hoser now.

C19 - Bloodthirsty Blade; Geth, Lord of the Vault

Funnily enough, after all the discussion about it, Bramble Sovereign turned out to be fake. It isn't in the populate Commander deck.
Anyway, madness deck reveals.
That equipment is neat. Didn't realize goad could work like that.

I gave in and placed a preorder for the Naya deck. That's four EDH decks now and we started the format about a month ago.
I'm in trouble aren't I?

Yep. I built 7 decks in my first three months. Ended up dismantling two but,,, fuck
now I have 5 oathbreaker decks too
C19 - Chainer, Nightmare Adept; Wildfire Devils; Curse of Fool's Wisdom; Supreme Demon of Astio (?); Big Game Hunter; Grimoire of the Dead; Hedonist's Trove
C19 - Greven, Predator Captain; Skyfire Phoenix; Hate Mirage (?); Aeon Engine; Idol of Oblivion; Nightmare Unmasking
OP
OP
Hmm, did MaRo slip and forget that Chainer isn't from Weatherlight--oh wait, never mind, here's the Weatherlight legend.
Even has the same artist as Gerrard.
Thought this was a reprint, but no, it's new.
Hate Mirage 3R
Sorcery
Choose up to two target creatures you don't control. For each of those creatures create a token that is a copy of those creatures. These tokens gain Haste. Exile them at the beginning of the next end step.
This is in the populate deck too, yes.

make a deck of all curses and an aeon engine combo to tell one player in your group that you genuinely hate them
C19 - Bone Miser

Hah, that's even better that Hearthstone was actually the one copying MTG!
C19 - Mire in Misery
OP
OP
Our first example of black enchantment hate. Weaker than a normal edict in most cases, but better against an opponent with an enchantment and no creatures.
EDIT: Or as pointed out in the chat, this works with the expectation that if you want to get rid of someone's enchantment, you get rid of their creatures first.
Dropping a Bitterheart Witch and just glaring menacingly at everyone becomes a real power move if you've done this at least once. #MetaGame #SocialEngineering

Sweet! Wish this was in Standard for my Grixis deck.

OP
OP
morruthehedgehog asked: Just saw Mire in Misery, this is the black enchantment removal you've been hinting at right? What is the extent of enchantment removal in black? Is it just edicts?
Here's what we're up to. We realized that three different colors could get rid of artifacts (white, red, and green), but only two could get rid of enchantments (white and green). Black seemed like the right choice as it had two permanent types it couldn't remove. Now, red has trouble with enchantments and black has trouble with artifacts.
Our constraints for black were as follows. We definitely want black to be third in efficiency behind white and green. We also didn't want black to be able to destroy its own enchantments as we like the Deal with the Devil enchantments in black (this was the major reason black hasn't had enchantment removal).
With those constraints, we've started designing cards. Our plan is to roll them out slowly, so I don't believe Throne of Eldraine has one. You will see more though, just slowly.

So there probably won't be any in Eldraine, but they should be coming to Standard with the set after (which is probably Return to Theros).
C19 - Solemn Simulacrum; madness deck list

And final decklist
The reprint planeswalker is Ob Nixilis Reignited
And that's all for Commander 2019
Holy crap. Awesome! Thanks.
And I hate hype trains... I'm considering a new EDH deck... aaarrgghh....
Trust me, if I ever see that played imma have to hold myself back from saying the line.
I am a complete novice to commander so I have no idea how to evaluate these decks but I'll probably be dipping into the format here. I gravitate towards white (which I understand has a tougher time in commander) so I'll probably try out at least the populate or jeskai decks. Though the madness deck certainly looks sweet.
I don't imagine there's pre-release type events for commander sets right? More of a check what your LGS is doing on the release weekend kind of thing?
Exactly. Some will do something, most won't. There'll probably at least be dedicated Commander playtime so you can jump into a game or two.

This is a cool art. Definitely want to get that moving forward for decks that run it.
It's probably going to be pretty easy to find people playing the precons (or lightly modified versions) for a few weeks after they release, even if your store doesn't run an official event.
I got my hopes up for nothing regarding madness cards, not only were there only 3 new cards with the mechanic but also only 1 of them is even good. Bringing the grand total of good madness cards to 3! Depending on how you stretch playable we might make 10.
EDH deck idea came to me on a lunch break! (Don't know if someone somewhere has had the same idea already.)
Commander:
The deck:
Basically cat tribal with added Armageddon, Jokulhaups, Devastation, Obliterate, Apocalypse etc.
I'd take it slow and play a cat each turn, or maybe just attack with some of them. Basically don't do much but goad stuff and be a nuisance.
Then, when the time is right go jokulhaupsing on people's asses.
When undoubtedly someone would ask "what IS that deck?!"
I would answer "it is the A-PAW-CALYPSE."
Then, I would play more cats.
