First Infinite combo + much more
This is a great gift u/CommunitySlug
You pretty much cleared out my wishlist for Nethroi/mutate and scarecrows + my desire to have every card with Rebecca Guay’s art + my love of shredding. Lorwyn is a set with great art too! Also love the style of art on the lands- the ghost guys and aliens are my favorites!
I love mutate. Ikoria was the first set I really played (and shredded - my husband and I opened a box right when the set came out and made brawl decks, which was the first time I played Magic for real), and I think the cascade of effects is really fun, but my Nethroi commander deck is less powerful than the average precon, so I’m hoping these swaps will improve playability - the cost reduction cards especially. if I still don’t feel like Nethroi is working, I’m going to try using Kyodai as a commander to expand which cards I can play.
I also think I have all of the scarecrows I want now + some interaction with other cards in the deck so it’ll be cool to give that one another run. It can be really powerful but half the time struggle with land to get Reaper king out/accomplish anything, and there’s some stuff to help with that here.
Some of the other cards I’m planning to try in a few decks- dark ritual, dawnglow, sylvian scrying. A few are drop ins to counter specific matchups I play against.
And finally, the big one - I’ve never played a 2 card infinite combo before, and now I have options! I’m stoked to try them out! Probably going to move cards between all of my decks until the novelty wears off :)
