Lukka, Coppercoat Outcast

Legendary Planeswalker — Lukka

+1: Exile the top three cards of your library. Creature cards exiled this way gain "You may cast this card from exile as long as you control a Lukka planeswalker."

-2: Exile target creature you control, then reveal cards from the top of your library until you reveal a creature card with higher converted mana cost. Put that card onto the battlefield and the rest on the bottom of your library in a random order.

-7: Each creature you control deals damage equal to its power to each opponent.

Lukka, Coppercoat Outcast has a word / space / punctuation count of 481, including 2 counts for the loyalty symbols each.

Yours, Epicurus has more than 650.

I forgot to mention, I also have a Lukka, Coppercoat Outcast + Chaos Warp deck that basically cheats out Eldrazi titans. It's so bonkers.

Lastly, I feel the reminder text is a great addition rather than have every single card spell it out in body text. The reason for this is because, as reminder text, it can be entirely dropped for premium artwork cards, not unlike how Embalm / Eternalize / Mutate were dropped for their premium artworks. This means a smaller text box and thus a larger piece of art, when appropriate. It also means that if you have a design that would add a massive amount of text to a card, such as Lukka, Coppercoat Outcast's -2, you can entirely drop the reminder text and free up multiple lines of text.

A card like that may look like the following:


Lukka's Animalistic Bond

Sorcery - Lukka

Gain control of target non-Human creature with mana value X until end of turn. Untap it, it gains haste. As long as you control a Lukka Planeswalker, instead that creature remains under your control. At the beginning of each end step, if you no longer control a Lukka Planeswalker, return that creature to its owner's control.

Loyalty -X


Very wordy, very confusing. Basically what it says is the following:

  • Act of Treason but for non-Humans.
  • Wait you control a Lukka Planeswalker? Okay nevermind you keep control of it.
  • Wait you no longer control a Lukka Planeswalker? Okay, return it to it's owner at the beginning of the next end step.

Lots of delayed triggers to keep track of, making it painful to read and painful to understand, thus requiring extra love and care in the text box. Since the Loyalty -X comes with reminder text, for the purposes of this card, that text can be sloughed off. Had it not been reminder text, it too would need to be applied and thus there wouldn't be room in the field.


  • Shit card is shit. If you want an MV7 creature, it would cost you 10 mana for potentially 1 turn. Or, it would cost you -7, which likely kills Lukka and thus it's still only for 1 turn.

The design isn't the focus, it's the example of what a very wordy and convoluted card may look like, to showcase the reminder text gently being dropped for sake of formatting.

The philosophy of blue cards like Pongify and Ravenform is that they do not destroy, they merely transform permanently, and destroying and replacing with a token is the mechanically best suited way to do so. Like Turn to Frog, but permanently. They've found flavorfully better ways to do it by auras like Ichthyomorphosis, enchanting the target to change its shape, but that enchantment can be broken, the transformation isn't permanent. When you lay down a Curse of the Swine, you lose the soldiers and gain the pigs, there's no way to get the soldiers back from the pigs. Ever since Polymorph this has been a blue effect, and only recently it is moving into red, with Transmogrify and Lukka, Coppercoat Outcast.

TypicalTimmy on Where do you personally draw …

My general strategy is to have more spells than the table has removal. I don't worry about one or two people holding up a counterspell or a path to exile. Similarly, I tend to not worry about their plays either.

I get my stuff out faster than the rest of the table, then overwhelm with a force they can't hope to stop.

This tends to make all of my decks very heavily reliant on combat damage and combat tricks, but there are ways to mix that up. In my aforementioned Lathliss deck, I have a bit of cruel control such as with Mudslide and Citadel of Pain, as well as Blood Moon and some others.

Then I passively create damage via Chandra, Awakened Inferno, Impact Tremors, Dragon Tempest, Warstorm Surge, Scourge of Valkas, Terror of the Peaks, Purphoros, God of the Forge and more. Also Sarkhan the Masterless

Ramp, I've got Mana Crypt, Ancient Tomb, Sol Ring, Arcane Signet, Mox Amber, Chrome Mox, Mox Tantalite, Mox Diamond and other staples.

Even cost reduction via Ruby Medallion, cloudkey, Urza's Incubator, Herald's Horn, Dragonlord's Servant and Dragonspeaker Shaman.

I can cheat via Sunbird's Invocation, Lukka, Coppercoat Outcast and Purphoros, Bronze-Blooded - who also serves as a haste enabler on top of like the six other haste enablers in the deck. Oh and Spinerock Knoll.

It even has recursion. For example, Haven of the Spirit Dragon, Vesuva and Thespian's Stage.

...it's like a $1,000 deck... For a $4 Commander, lol

Otherwise, probably my favorite, was a Turn 5 win with Lathliss, Dragon Queen.

Opponent dead on turn 3.

  • T4 - Cast Moltensteel Dragon off topdeck for . ETB 5/5. Buff crew +1/+0. Terror sees a 6/5 and a 5/4. Hit next opponent for 11. Tempest sees two ETB at five Dragons. Land another 10 (-21). Pay Spinerock Knoll to free-cast Sunbird's Invocation and swing for 7+6+6 for 40 at 2nd opponent for TKO and remaining 6+5 at other opponent for 11.

Opponent #2 dead on turn 4.

Turn 5 win.

She's my my favorite, but she helms my favorite deck.

Lathliss, Dragon Empress

Legendary Creature - Dragon

Flying

Whenever a Lathliss, Dragon Empress or another Dragon enters the battlefield under your control, it deals damage equal to it's power to any target.

: Create a 4/4 red Dragon creature token with flying.

5/5


While she can still populate the field, she isn't as strong as her OG. She also doesn't combo as well with Lukka, Coppercoat Outcast. However, you can use her as a powerful manasink and overrun the battlefield. What's more is if they have haste you can hit an opponent twice with each activation; non-combat and combat damage. With Berserkers' Onslaught or Furnace of Rath, it just exponentiates. Worse still is when you play red like a boss and run with no cards in hand, you still have a threatening presence. Even a wrath isn't going to stop you as you can rebuild. You can go infinite in red mana and turn her into a wincon combo piece, or nest (lel) her in the +99 in Gruul and go infinite as a wincon there as well.

Overall, I think she's an improvement.
