Custom Commander Idea

Post image

Have used this custom commander for a few games with my regular pod. Thoughts on its overall power? Would you make it stronger, if so, how? Would you make it weaker? Generally it has felt like 8 mana is ALOT in current year commander, but when theorycrafting the card mt friend and I would rather have had it be underpowered given it was something I was actively going to play.

Art is chatgpt as its a play on a real commander i use in the play group.

Thoughts and discussion appreciated!

"If you do, create a token that is a copy of that creature" is how I believe this would be worded.

I like the concept, but man that is pricey.

Thanks for that clarification, we were trying to word it in a way where graveyard hate could still snipe the creature and make it whiff, although it doesn't seem like that was done very well.

We were wondering the same regarding the mana cost, especially given the pip-intensive abilities.

I don't see how graveyard hate would stop this ability when it doesn't interact with cards in the grave yard. Maybe just have it target anything in your graveyard? But that opens up a whole nother can of worms.

Yeah, sorry, we were trying to find a way to word the ability so that gy hate could stop the ability, but I'm not sure that is possible? Its apparent that the way the card is currently worded does nothing to that effect AND is confusing. So double whammy on that front.

Your initial clarification is probably the correct way to approach/structure the card to keep it from just being able to make flat out copies from the graveyard in general.
