![]() ![]() This card is fantastic just like Containment Priest is fantastic. There's very little downside to running this card, save for the universal Commander problem of "but what can I cut?!" Heck, worst case this card cycles for 2 mana. It costs 2 mana so it's easy to keep this card ready for the right situation, and it's a 2for1 because it draws a card. It's the real deal.Ĭommander is a format all about cheating creatures into play: reanimate them with Animate Dead effects, cheat them into play from your hand with Kaalia of the Vast or from your opponent's deck with Bribery, yoink them from your library with Tooth and Nail, blink them with Brago, King Eternal - the list goes on and on.īecause cheat effects are so common, I think this card is almost always going to get value for you. ![]() I will be adding this card to every white token deck I make. Spell Mastery is very easy for most Commander decks to have active, especially token decks that often produce tokens with instants/sorceries. This is VERY GOOD! ![]() My favorite part of the card though is its Spell Mastery, which has two practical purposes: 1) saving your creatures from a board wipe 2) ambushing an attack against you without losing any creatures. Both make 2/2's, but Phalanx tokens have vigilance. Zenith has flexible casting, while Phalanx is fixed at 7cmc. It's most comparable to White Sun's Zenith. Gideon's Phalanx is a new instant speed token maker. Have Cathars' Crusade out, make a bunch of tokens on the end step before your turn with Decree of Justice, swing for a billion. Instant speed armies are really good I learned that firsthand when playtesting Darien and Gahiji. I'm skeptical that he will see play in Commander. Without that he'll struggle getting through the behemoth creatures played in Commander and his +2 and +1 abilities don't work well in this format either. I think he'd be great if equipment and auras didn't fall off Gideon when his 0 ability wears off at end of turn. I love the idea of 1cmc commanders and he looks easy enough to flip in White Weenie decks, but none of his abilities seem to translate well to multiplayer. Check out Budget Commander: Kaalia of the Vast.Ī 1cmc planeswalker?! AWESOME! From a design point of view, this is seriously amazing and I'm excited to play this in standard (possibly modern?). She gets even better if you have a way to give vigilance. Yup, I think Kaalia players will have a fun time with this new angel. Hmm, if only there was a deck out there that liked attacking, draws a ton of hate so that it could use some defense, and has a thing for angels. The trick is finding an appropriate deck that wants all these things - dedicated pillowfort decks that don't care about attacking will probably pass as cards like Ghostly Prison are superior pillowforts, and likewise there's better evasion cards for aggressive decks. It's very cost-efficient if you look at the entire package. Very interesting! We get a Propaganda and War Cadence effect both stapled on to an aggressively costed flyer. That's wonderful! So let's dive into the card pile and find the good stuff: Every single time I've posted a review, I've been convinced of the value of at least one card that I overlooked. The true beauty of these reviews is the discussion it brings out from our lively community. I'm bound to have some differing views than you. A bold claim, but read on and tell me what you think.Īs usual, the following review is my personal opinion. In fact, I'd say this is one of the best sets for Commander ever released. Holy crap you guys! The list reads like a love letter to Commander. We finally have the complete card list for Magic Origins.
