FormOverFunction on Looking for some advice for …

10 months ago

I have learned that I always want to just add enchantments to everything, often to great detriment, so you probably should just stop reading. Having said that, my first thoughts for that specific commander were things like Orcish Oriflamme and Lurking Predators. Otherwise I thought maybe something like Ogre Battledriver would be pretty strong. Another concept that might be nice is some cheap to equip weapons for the (not long for the battlefield) creatures you’ll be slinging around. Some of them even get better every time the creature dies (like Malefic Scythe). All-in-all, though, I think the deck looks like a ton of fun!!

I keep going back and thinking about all the different weird things you could do with Apex. Orcish Oriflamme could bump up an aggro/combat creature to the apex, but then afterwards the “apex position” would potentially drop back to a more defense-oriented creature. Same for combat tricks and whatnot. Super fun.

Caerwyn, technically speaking there is a way to remove emblems that every color has access to and it's through Karn Liberated's ultimate.

Personally, I'm okay with emblems only because the format has a lot of other effects that are just as impossible or impractical (Karn) to get rid of. Take for example Edgar Markov or Oloro, Ageless Ascetic which give you free effects just by existing in your command zone. You also have Theros gods who can exist soley as indestructible enchantments which aren't impossible to remove, but may require very inefficient forms of removal to get rid of them for many decks. Honestly, the fact this format can allow you to have an infinite combo piece as a commander such as The Gitrog Monster can be another gross example as the threat still remains no matter how much removal you throw at them.

Obviously non-interactable effects are very easy to make unbalanced, but I don't see Sorin, Lord of Innistrad as busted. In any game of EDH the sum of removal spells in all decks will be less than the sum of nonland permanents in all decks. There are always going to be nonland permanents that no one will ever get around to removing, because many other nonland permanents will take greater precedence to use removal spells on. Non-interactable effects should match the power level of these spared nonland permanents in my opinion. An Orcish Oriflamme is probably the last anthem effect you'd delete anyway if you're up against an anthem-tribal deck.

Just to make sure I’m not coming across as a crotchety downer: I did like the more-enchantment-like only-down-ticking planeswalkers, as they were mostly just attackable enchantments. Similar to making an Orcish Oriflamme into a 0/1 artifact creature.

I've always thought Kobolds would be fun to build around! How about Orcish Oriflamme for maximum Kobold attack? Also, Keldon Warlord could be an alternate finisher.

Somethings that I can share:

The "Foriys" in Two-Headed Giant of Foriys is supposed to be pronounced as "four eyes", because the giant has 2 pairs of eyes.

Alchor's Tomb is supposed to be Alchor's Tome. The artist misread / misunderstood the art description and drawn a tomb. Somehow they just go with the art and instead change the card name from Tome to Tomb.

Orcish Oriflamme was included in the first batch of banned cards because the Alpha Orcish Oriflamme misprinted its mana cost from CMC 4 to CMC 2, and it was thought to be overpowered at that cost.

Legions is an all creature set, while Alara Reborn is an all multi-color set.

Torment has the most number of black cards by percentage with respect to the total number of cards in the set. While its enemy colors (white & green) has the least. This is reversed in the following set, Judgment, where black has the least and white & green hast the most.

The first Enchantment themed block is not Theros, it's Urza's block.
