Putting a Blade of Selves on Threefold Thunderhulk seems quite busted. Same with most myriad enablers in blue. Specially if you are also running Gonti's Aether Heart and Urza, Lord High Artificer

Niko9 on How Good is Pain Magnification?

Last_Laugh I agree with you, in commander it looks like a very snowballey enchantment. I think Pain Magnification might take the right deck to be great, it's not a rakdos staple, but in the right build it would absolutely be a must remove threat.

The main drawback I could see with it is that in commander players can get very salty about discarding and not everyone will have enchant removal, so you may become the archenemy when you play this.

Just throwing out ideas here, but Pain Magnification might be brutal in a rakdos Blade of Selves deck that runs Balor and Archon of Cruelty as reanimated blade carriers.

Maybe also Blade of Selves as a Magda tutorable card that combos with Copper Dragon and Blightsteel!

Blade of Selves on Reyhan is a commander damage kill as early as turn 3 (w/ 3 opponents). T1 Sol Ring into Blade. T2 Reyhan. T3 Equip and swing. The 2 Reyhan tokens die to the legend rule and those 6 counters are seen and replaced by all 3 Reyhans for 18x +1+1 counters on the original 3/3.

Thanks for checking out the deck Azoth2099. I wanted to try a different route from going the Ninjutsu route, plus I have a Satoru and Yuriko decks in my meta lol.

I used to have Genasi Enforcers in the deck, but recently replaced it with Saheeli, the Sun's Brilliance. I figured the ceiling was higher. Genasi Enforcers didn't feel great or impactful beyond mid-game turns.

I think I have Elemental Mastery on the Considering list for my Moxfield version of the deck (I peeped you're also on Moxfield from your profile blurb lol).

I haven't used Blade of Selves, but have also had it recommended for my Isshin deck. The 6 total mana to cast & equip is kind of a buzz kill for me. I don't really use equipment much in my decks besides Swiftfoot Boots, Lightning Greaves, & Skullclamp.

This Commander is so awesome lol. I've been wanting to brew it myself, but I keep getting distracted.

Have you tested Genasi Enforcers, Blade of Selves or Elemental Mastery here?

Have you ever considered Reyhan, Last of the Abzan / Ishai, Ojutai Dragonspeaker as your commanders? They draw a LOT less hate, are easier on early mana to cast, and most importantly, having an Ozolith effect in the Command zone makes the deck far more explosive and resilient than a single proliferate per turn cycle.

It also opens up some really interesting possibilities like Blade of Selves or a kicked Rite of Replication on Reyhan. Blade is 18x +1+1 counters (a commander damage kill as early as turn 3... t1 Sol Ring into Blade, t2 Reyhan, t3 equip and swing.) and Rite is 90x +1+1 counters (this isn't even counting extra +1+1 counters or counter doublers.)

Feel free to check out my list for ideas and the deck description for a better explanation and the math for Blade of Selves/Rite of Replication. Little Rey of Ishine (Reyhan/Ishai)

Last_Laugh on Reyhan and Ishai make it happen!

Blade of Selves on Reyhan is a commander damage kill as early as turn 3. Each copy of Reyhan sees and replaces their 3 counters so 2 die to the legend rule and their 6 counters are seen and replaced by all 3 Reyhans for 18 counters. Rite of Replication kicked targeting Reyhan is 90 counters (or 30 increments of 3 counters). Check my deck description for the actual math when you factor in counter doublers etc.

Upvotes on any of my decks are appreciated. Little Rey of Ishine (Reyhan/Ishai)
