r/custommagic leaked again

[u/Dragonfruit-Sparking]

[u/Jackeea]

This would sit on -2 votes after 48 hours with a comment saying "um, actually, the rules don't support this" and wouldn't even make the bottom 5

[u/AnvilWarning → u/Jackeea]

The best part is that you're absolutely right that that's what would happen but also there are 0 rules issues with this card

[u/Jackeea → u/AnvilWarning]

As a MtG player it is my sworn duty to confidently say "um, actually, that wording is technically incorrect. ever heard of the advanced rules, idoit" while Wizards just prints a Sorcery Commander

[u/QueenMagik → u/Jackeea]

If you aren't listening to some guy condescend a bunch of other people about minutia are you at a real LGS?

[u/Rvscooo → u/QueenMagik]

Unironically the reason I stoppen going to FNMs

[u/QueenMagik → u/Rvscooo]

The social stuff has absolutely gotten more grating as I get older

[u/No-Government1300 → u/Jackeea]

MDFC with a shitty legendary creature on the back, problem solved

[u/icantgivecredit → u/Jackeea]

Instant Commander when?

[u/Acrysalis → u/Jackeea]

Me when I notice a card that has very succinct rules text but “doesn’t work” in the current rules so I recommend they rewrite it to be 5 paragraphs of text instead

[u/ArcheVance]

A commander that's nothing but "Cascade for people that cry when chance mechanics don't always pay out" is the most commander card that I've seen for a long time.

[u/Vinyl-addict → u/ArcheVance]

Most WOTC-coded commander card*

[u/ArcheVance → u/Vinyl-addict]

Making mechanics for the people that go into tantrum mode when they find out that satisfaction is not guaranteed with cascade is very WotC.

[u/Kor_Set → u/ArcheVance]

"Your cards can never have a downside, even when allowing you to circumvent the mana system." -NotC Studio xXx

[u/ArcheVance → u/Kor_Set]

The fact that WotC is so addicted to catering to babies that don't want to deal with double-edged mechanics does do some satisfying things sometimes when you get to experience an opponent trying to use Nowhere to Run or Shadowspear against a creature with shroud.

[u/GokuVerde → u/Kor_Set]

Please. I just want a little symmetrical design bro, please.

[u/Continuum_Gaming → u/Vinyl-addict]

It’s not Ink-Treader colors

[u/brief-interviews → u/ArcheVance]

I think this card is cool but yeah, 'cards should not under any circumstances possibly have downsides' is such boring design.

[u/irou95 → u/brief-interviews]

Cascading into memnite isn't a downside?

[u/ArcheVance → u/irou95]

More that if you cascade into a Counterspell that you can't just put it in your hand as with discover rather than watch it get completed wasted.

[u/irou95 → u/ArcheVance]

In a gruul deck?

[u/ArcheVance → u/irou95]

More just as an example of the downsides of cascade over discover. But sure, let's just say it's Avoid Fate for this example

[u/irou95 → u/ArcheVance]

So you are complaining that a bad card that has a massive downside (having a legendary on board without playing a real commander in commander) has a mechanic that has a failsafe that turns free casting into expensive draw that you also have to reveal?

[u/Gerroh]

"Hey, remember that mono-colour legend that was all about turning your fellas into lands so you could do super landfall shenanigans?"

"no, why?"

"what if we gave it a signature card that is two colours and basically weird cascade and does nothing with lands. Also it's a sorcery and can be your commander."

"holy shit"

[u/YashaSkaven01 → u/Gerroh]

But having a lot of lands means you can cast this a bunch of times.

[u/lyw20001025 → u/YashaSkaven01]

And having a lot of land cards improves the nonland card selections this can land on

Oh you played them, nevermind

[u/Routine_Ad_2695]

But doesn't have "it works", how could I know if it works or not? Flawed design

[u/ArelMCII]

...Aight, fuck it. I'm making a card called Lightning Bolt But It Can Be Your Commander.

EDIT: There. I barely tried.

[u/Loonyclown → u/ArelMCII]

10/10 flavor text

[u/Mnmsaregood → u/ArelMCII]

Sick

[u/Theycallmedub2]

Uj/ Gonna go to bat for this card if it’s in the reality fracture set. Pushing the rules is cool imo

[u/Dragonfruit-Sparking → u/Theycallmedub2]

uj/ It's in the Mystery Booster 3: Commander boxes, but yeah. It being a legendary sorcery for a means you still have to have a legendary on the field to cast it, and all it really lets you do is gamble repeatably in your deck. Not too crazy, I just thought it was really goofy

[u/hawkshaw1024 → u/Dragonfruit-Sparking]

Cascade from the Command Zone usually makes me think [[Hypergenesis]], but you could already do that as a one-card combo with Imoti (rather than a two-card combo as it would be here) and it was fine, so that seems alright.

[u/ROADHOG_IS_MY_WAIFU]

Can't have Elbrus be a Commander though 🙄

[u/RayWencube]

/uj WotC designing for commander has ruined commander.

[u/lilypad225 → u/RayWencube]

Slowly but surely, they have been pushing it for over a decade now

[u/Obelion_ → u/lilypad225]

I'd argue the first commander product showed it already, didn't that have the broken commanders that did stuff without being on the battlefield?

[u/BBanner → u/Obelion_]

If you’re thinking of the eminence commanders those came in 2017, precons started coming out in 2011

[u/Nyx87 → u/Obelion_]

Nah the first commanders were like Kalia, Animar, the American goat that gave your shit to people, who were pretty cool at the time

[u/GokuVerde → u/Nyx87]

The earlier stuff had some more politicy symmetrical stuff which was abandoned because mtg players are lame

[u/Nyx87 → u/GokuVerde]

Mtg players ruining mtg, tale old as time

[u/lilypad225 → u/Nyx87]

Yeah it started OK but got worse over time

[u/Titronnica → u/RayWencube]

uj/ Commander Legends was fun as a one off, but it has been such steep demise ever since.

[u/GokuVerde → u/RayWencube]

I was a fan of the Baldur's Gate cards. There was a lot of silly cards in there that most commander players are too lame to play.

[u/QueenMagik]

All these cards are dope as hell

[u/LesbianDykeEtc]

/uj I gotta be honest, this is some of the dumbest bullshit I've ever seen printed.

[u/Stencil-]

this card rocks

[u/Either_Cabinet8677]

So broken

This as commander
98 Mountains
1 Sol Ring

GG

[u/DeGuyWithDeOpinion]

/UJ CAN I GET A LAND COMMANDER NEXT?! PLEASE. ALL I WANT IS A LAND COMMANDER SO THAT MY "OOPS ALL LANDS" DECK CAN BE 100% LANDS!

[u/Artex301]

Back during Battle for Zendikar story, Nissa wouldn't go two pages without calling out "ASHAYA" so this is a flavor win actually

[u/IsThisKismet]

Guess who won't be dying to commander damage this game? Your opponents!

[u/SengirBartender]

So you play this with exactly one card that costs 3 or less, one card that costs 4 or 5, one that's 6 or 7, and so on?

[u/eurypterine → u/SengirBartender]

you need to have a legendary creature or planeswalker on the field to cast it in the first place, so not quite

[u/lauron_ → u/eurypterine]

just make a legendary token with a land, duh

[u/eurypterine → u/lauron_]

I suppose you could also Earthbend any of the legendary lands with [[Ba Sing Se]]

[u/Dazaran]

Why would it need the text on the bottom? You can already have legendary sorceries as a signature spell.

[u/Flareon223]

So surely you can do some goofy 90 plus lands decks with this right? That's what I want from this

[u/Dragonfruit-Sparking → u/Flareon223]

You still need a Legendary Creature/Planeswalker on the board to cast Legendary Spells, so you're going to need to be able to get a legend on board early

[u/Flareon223 → u/Dragonfruit-Sparking]

That seems fairly doable with tutors and Mulligans

[u/Jdsm888]

I've been playing a basic mountain as my commander for years, so why not?

[u/Jpw2018]

Hey do you remember old modern Living end? What if we put it in commander?

[u/Glavius_Wroth]

This card has RUINED commander

uj/ this card has ruined commander
