TheoryCrafter, I think that the issue with 4c commanders/legendaries is the burden on R&D is to give each 4c pairing an identity. And when trying to flesh out those things, the issue isn't what those pairings could/can't do, but what could they do that 5c can't already do.

Like, for example, what can a UBRG commander do, that a WUBRG or even WBRG couldn't? If you find something, is it really something that color combination couldn't otherwise do, or is it something they get to do by jumping through an additional hoop? The more colors you add, the more access you have to all the aspects of magic, including the 2c and 3c pairings that often help shore up what other 1c or 2c options couldn't do to begin with.

Not suggesting that they can't make more 4c legends and make them unique or impactful, but it doesn't sound easy to do. Short of making more 'off-the-wall' effects like Saskia the Unyielding and co, that is. And at that point, that's more of a one-off printing (IMO) than something they could extrapolate to a set. Just trying to imagine WotC pushing a 4-5c set and the mana that would have to facilitate it, sounds like a nightmare for limited/constructed play.

4c as an archetype doesn't really have an identity other than "good stuff that's not 5c"... nothing that could be immediately recognizible like Orzhov being lifegain/drain and sacrifice vs Simic and ramp/growth and counters.

Great deck! You earned my +1 a while back ... playtesting this was honestly a big part of me deciding to build Sephiroth myself. So thanks!

As I tweak the deck though, I wanted to ask your thoughts on a few things:

• How's Tergrid, God of FrightGC  ^Flip? I've never played her, so I'm a bit hesitant to use one of the Bracket 3 Game Changer slots on her (vs something like Orcish BowmastersGC). Appreciate your thoughts!
  
• Any general tips for playing in a Bracket 3 pod? The deck often feels right on the edge between 3 and 4 (i.e., popping off sometimes on Turn 5--or even earlier with a nut draw--but generally WAY too grindy/not consistent enough for a Bracket 4 table), so I worry a bit about bringing this to a generally mid-Bracket 3 pod. The "Bracket 4 Sideboard" seems like a great idea, but here too, I'd appreciate any other thoughts!

Thanks again, and cheers!

Spoutback Glider

Creature - Dragon

Flying, Haste, Trample

Whenever this creature deals combat damage to an enemy, it deals half that much damage to you, rounded up.

Whenever a source you control deals damage to you, discard a card.

6/6

"I'm telling you it wasn't no geyser I saw, the spot came out of the clouds themselves, and they were glowing like a campfire something fierce!"

Repeat with a green creature or enchantment.

Balaam__ I watched this deck get playtested in MTG arena which isn't as practical as physical cards, but it did really well. I totally agree, which is why I think I'll be trying it with Traveling Chocobo and Archdruid's Charm. Things like Awaken the Woods, Sazh's Chocobo and Glacier Godmaw are possibilities as well.

Thanks so much for the +1, emask!

Thanks legendofa! I love that idea. My gf has a super old deck with Deathtouch and Thornbite Staff in it from before I even started playing MtG over a decade ago! That spell really bring me back. It's in for sure!

I feel like the One Ring would be too slow for the Storm Gameplay I'm going for. Sure, it's a great card, but on the turn you play it you only get one card out of it for four mana. On a storm turn that feels kinda dead.
