Finally I was surprised that Calgar appears to be bald in his art. While the "Bald Space Marine" has been a great joke for many years, his most recent model does indeed have hair.

Have you ever had the oddly specific desire to turn every single creature spell that you cast into either a Knight of Autumn or an Elvish Rejuvenator? Well, now you can!

I don’t know if this was supposed to be a card for Standard and they simply ran out of room there, and I think it’s an interesting ability to play around with, but to me boxed precons really shouldn’t have cards that don’t work in the deck they got printed in. Putting Greed, Phyrexian Reclamation or fetchlands in the precon would have prevented this card from just being a glorified Vampire Nighthawk.

One of the key factors why Tasigur is such a good Hermit Druid commander is his delve ability, which allows Tasigur to be cast for a single black mana after the Hermit Druid activation! This is one of the advantages that Tasigur has in comparison with other Hermit Druid commanders like Kenrith, the Returned King or the partner pairing of Thrasios, Triton Hero and Tymna the Weaver.

Exxaxl: ‘Now that I flashed in my Embercleave in response to Tetsuo’s attack trigger, I will cast Surge to Victory for free from hand, targeting Invoke Calamity in my graveyard!’

Chief: Please stop. This is why more people are starting to play stax.

Notably, you as a player do not phase out and neither do the cards in your hand, library, graveyard, or any other game zone aside from the battlefield. The same is true of any spells or abilities that you control on the stack.

While the enemy painlands have been reprinted multiple times in recent years, we haven’t seen the allied painlands since Tenth Edition. That means that it has been 15 years since they were last reprinted. I’m honestly not sure why they’ve been overlooked for so long, but this set seems like a great place to bring them back.

Chief: *Achoo!* Worldslayer.
Exxaxl: Bless you… what?
Chief: Oh, nothing.

This time around, we had a wide open field for our players to cut through to get to the Top 4 and, taking it all, we had Xccepted piloting his build of Kenrith, the Returned King (deck embedded at the bottom of this page) as our PlayMAX Champion.

In this article, I catch up with Greg Sablan of the Commander Advisory Group (CAG) and the other founding members of the Alliance of Military Magic Players (AMMP) to talk to them about how the community got started and get to know them a little better.

This card is a competitive staple. Yes, it’s a worse Vampiric Tutor that needs to be cast at sorcery speed, but it’s still 1 mana to tutor any card to the top of your library. It usually isn’t that hard to crack the top of your library to get that combo piece or whatever else. People also aren’t above tutoring for Mana Crypt on turn 1 even with the near omnipresent threat of Ragavan, Nimble Pilferer stealing their topdecks.

There was a period of time where blue was occasionally given the ability to destroy a creature by polymorphing it into something else. In this case, you can help your opponent’s best creature channel its inner ape. I’m pretty sure that there’s even a popular meme for this concept.

Deep Gnome Terramancer seems like an instant staple that’s never going away until they release something even better. I feel this is what WOTC originally intended to do with Boreas Charger or Cartographer’s Hawk, but maybe at that point there wasn’t as high of a demand to ‘fix white’ in EDH or they just weren’t sure how far they could push white while still staying within the boundaries of the color pie.

Worry not, because Grand Abolisher is here to help! For just 2 mana, this card disables most of your opponents’ answers during your turn. It’s hardly a surprise that this is one of the most sought after reprints from Commander players.

You can’t have a Mindflayer captain without a ship! Nautiloid Ship gives you another graveyard exile effect - but this one allows you to use the cards exiled by it, making it a nice card for both its mechanic and its flavor.

Go for the eyes, Boo. GO FOR THE EYES! RrraaaAAGHGHH!
