Powerful cards existing is OK and exploring them responsibly is an essential part of Commander. We promised in the last update that, with the advent of the Vancouver Mulligan, we'd be evaluating the mulligan process in Commander. Whenever we decide to ban a card, we take a long look at the current list to see if any cards can come off, as we believe a casual format is better served by a minimalist banlist. My playgroup has a bunch of hate for prophet and says it should be banned. The reclusive Kruphix speaks rarely and counts few worshippers. Again, this is a hand you should keep without a second thought. Its effect on the game was pretty small, but that flavor message made it worthwhile to preserve. Reid Duke burst onto the competitive scene in 2011 by winning the Magic Online Championship at Worlds, and has since grown to become one of the most widely respected players in Magic. It didn’t fix your colors, and turned the otherwise-weak Tidebinder Mage and Bile Blight into major problems. Why do people want to ban so much stuff in commander... because people don't like things that don't let them play their decks. Thus, he is seen as an oracle of dreams. My playgroup went sans free mulligans years ago and it made deck building and mulligans more important. Next up, the tutors so commander is a more random xD format, then hey maybe we can remove all the combo pieces because noone likes those. We don't expect removing the rule to have a big impact. 452 977. This announcement is the culmination of that research. You may play the top card of your library if it's a land card. Seedborn Muse, I think is better/worse to deal with. As mentioned, where the Green Devotion deck wanted to be casting Genesis Hydras for X=5 or more when possible, Naya could cast them for X=3 and have a fine chance of getting a very relevant two-for-one. We know all there is to know about Pack Rat decks and Blue Devotion, but green is a (relatively speaking) unexplored world in standard. Moreover, in a deck with a lot of Forests, you could often cast her, untap lands, and play another spell in the same turn. That rationale has already been used to ban cards, including things that have no immediate impact and are vulnerable to removal. I do not even see it as a very good card. It's been two years since the last (non-consolidation) card got banned, which is an acceptable growth rate! None of my Sylvan Caryatid/Courser of Kruphix brews wound up being strong enough to deviate from the team deck for Pro Tour M15. A few teammates and I were close to playing the above Junk deck at the Pro Tour, but in the end decided that B/W Midrange could do many of the same things, but in a more elegant and streamlined way. On the whole, Jund planeswalkers is a fine deck that’s a lot of fun to play, but I don’t think its the absolute best deck in the format. Who could counter/kill it and reanimate it, bribery it, or play it and protect it best was usually the inevitable winner. He also governs navigation, mystery, and the cycles of time and is the keeper of mysteries that no others are meant to learn. This is not true for all playgroups, or perhaps not even most playgroups, but in the core playgroups that the RC seems to care about (casual to maybe 75%ish and not the hyper competitive groups) it was more than likely the case while PoK was around. However, it wasn’t just an issue of personal preference; I also believe that Sylvan Caryatid and Courser of Kruphix are among the best cards in standard. Nothing provided a clear enough upgrade to justify having additional rules for mulligans. It provides long run card advantage and life gain, the importance of which is difficult to overstate. They’re efficient, defensive green creatures that serve as the perfect shell for a midrange creature deck—my absolute favorite strategy for constructed magic. This is really just annoying. It blocks the early creatures out of the aggro decks, and protects your planeswalkers, all while making your opponent’s removal look silly. It closely resembled Makahito Mihara’s deck from the Top Eight of Pro Tour Theros, except with the important additions of Genesis Hydra and Nissa, Worldwaker. Courser of Kruphix is similarly an excellent defensive drop that dodges Bile Blight and cheap burn spells. Without Elvish Mystic, though, the deck wasn’t explosive enough, and the draws without Sylvan Caryatid were often poor. The greatest appeal was the way she comboed with Underworld Connections. As soon as it hits the board, it is the center of attention until it leaves. That's centralizing in ways we can't ignore, so it's time for Prophet to take a break. More importantly, it’s not a creature card itself, which serves to lower the potency of cards like Domri Rade and Garruk, Caller of Beasts, which might otherwise be your best cards.

Even when things don’t go perfectly according to plan, a land that sometimes taps for two mana instead of one in the mid and lategame is still an unbelievably great card. I never really understood why a black mage should care about what kind of corpse he reanimates :P. I understand that there's no way such a change would ever be made to EDH though. You had a powerful, proactive gameplan that could kill an opponent remarkably quickly if they didn’t have a proper defense. So, we brainstormed, and ran computer simulations. When it’s all rolled into such an efficient package, it’s hard to imagine not wanting to play with Courser. The only reason I can think of for color identity to change is because of celestial dawn in zedruu. Cards like Bile Blight and Tidebinder Mage, which had been a nightmare for Elvish Mystic, were now bad cards against you. I was loving Genesis Hydra, particularly when I was fortunate enough to hit a planeswalker off the top of my library. Courser of Kruphix. It's funny how the Brittany mulligan was originally a replacement for the free Paris but then they started giving out free Brittany mulligans and it got broken. As an animar player i am partially salty, but its a well deserved ban certainly. I like Prophet Of Kruphix, I don't think it's an unfair card, but I think it is as banworthy as Panoptic Mirror. This is the real deal. On the whole, 86% success is a rate that seems reasonable. Whenever a land enters the battlefield under your control, you gain 1 life. Have no fear my storming brothers I haven't used partial pars mulligans in years the decks still fine the entire meta slows down despite popular opinion the decks not a glass cannon and has no problem going late. We still love Rule 4. That's good streamlining in terms of teaching people the format and reducing gotcha moments while still preserving the essential flavor of Commander. However, they weren’t quite what I was looking for. As soon as it hits the board, it is the center of attention until it leaves. In casting a Genesis Hydra, even for X=3, you had a good chance to hit a no-questions-asked removal spell, simultaneously removing your opponent’s best threat and adding a creature to your side of the table. It’s overcosted, meaning that it has a higher ratio of mana spent to impact on the game compared to simply casting a creature directly from your hand. My teammates and I had come up with an impressive assortment of competitive homebrew decks, but nothing that really had a great matchup against Monoblack. I hope you’ll give them a try. B/U/G was one combination that I particularly liked, as Kiora is a great planeswalker that has natural synergies with Courser of Kruphix and Underworld Connections, and is at her best in a deck with Sylvan Caryatid and black removal to protect her. I'm intrigued and don't mind making my friend (a narset player) wait. For one thing, you could put the Connections on a Forest and use Nissa to draw even more cards every turn. Press J to jump to the feed. So now that they go back to the upgraded Paris that is the Vancouver, people are getting butthurt! Kruphix is the eldest of the gods.The enigmatic god has dominion over the potential, the distant, and the unseen. Not even sure how many more would be required, but I think I'll start with 1 or 2. Any of the decklists in this article would be a fine choice for an upcoming tournament, and perhaps there’s even room to improve on some of them! No. Born of the Gods. Consecrated sphinx as well. Hydra Naya had a similar feel to Bloodbraid Elf Jund. No way is this ban worthy.
