One of my friends is already playing Kratos on my playgroup. Games are fast when he appears lol

I have a Jaxis on my binder, but I didn't though of her because recently assembled a deck for The jolley balloon man and the feel kind of similar. How do you win on a Jaxis deck?

Kratos turns everyone into an agro deck. Good for quick matches

I don't but I think ignoring devils and playing more off the second ability could be fun for a low-power deck. I threw him into a Minotaur tribal/discard/hellbent pile and I always was excited to see him come down

Although not the primary commander in my deck, I've gotten a lot of fun usage out of Jaxis, the Troublemaker making copies of creatures like Anarchist to get the same effect as a Tormenting Voice or even just fish that card back.

Squee, Goblin Nabob is the boomer answer for this style of deck since you just keep returning Squee to pay the discard cost for everything.

Longshot seems like a very underrated commander! Thank you for sharing this idea I will give it a chance.

I'm that kind of hipocrite that really likes LotR and 40k precons but don't like Marvel or TMNT I guess. I wish liked it because are speaking of it non stop, but it doesn't resonate with me.

Anyways, thanks for taking time to comment I will try to post again with the deck as I assemble it!

Yeah, i guess if you are adverse to UB most of the stuff i found to go along with Misty would not be to your liking.

You could do Longshot, Rebel Bowman with a bunch of damage and other non-creature spells (including job select artifact equipments, to put creatures on the board).

I have one, and I have Trusty Boomerang, so you can play it for free (and do 2 damage to everyone), attach for one, pay one to tap somebody's creature (and one of your own), and then do it all over again until you run out of creatures or mana. Toss Ravenous Robots in there, and each time you get another creature to tap on the next turn (and blockers). As a combo example. You get to do two damage to everyone, tap a creature an opponent controls, and generate a creature yourself for two mana, over and over.

Zurzoth is a commander that I try to make a deck from time to time, but I am never sure which direction to take. Do you have a deck?

Thanks for your suggestion! It is cool as a card but you know, I kind of hate super heroes in magic cards and it is sad because that ability is neat.

Some kind of burn when you discard sounds like a good start point for winning, perhaps you can just have it as an engine to find your true wincons!

Looking at edh rec with her as your commander there are a lot of discard a card, draw two cards spells and abilities. Still trying to figure out a win con with her.

Clive from FF for grindier, maybe Zurzoth for a thematic aggressive deck? It works with discard so tormenting voice and Monument to Endurance shenanigans could be included. Or Delina, wild mage is pretty casual. Mica, Reader of Ruins for artifacts and spell doubling

It doesn't need to be. I'm buying a Finale of Devastation for $10 under market, getting a bunch of bonus cards with pretty art, and supporting a good charity. What a deal!

The idea is good but the set isn't coherent...

Didn't they say they were going to do a follow-up set in New Capenna that was Monopoly themed? Honestly, that set seemed a lot more interesting, especially with the board mechanic and mortgage subtype they announced. Plus, there's some great reprints spoiled for the set already.

The big bang theory magic the gathering cards are on my bucket list.

Bring it.

Damn, you were milles above me. I was thinking McDonald's vs Burger king set, like brother's war whatever that means.

With Secret Lairs for Monopoly, 2000's boy bands, and the Big Bang Theory.

Same, I really thought it was going to be KFC/Taco Bell/Pizza Hut, and not just KFC. But hopefully the cards are still Baja Blast flavored.

I'm not sure if I want to lagh or cry

"I don't like the direction Magic is going"- Guy that said he started playing MtG when the FF7 set released

Given there are only 7 sets listed this is probably not the final. I imagine we will be seeing 2-3 more added, likely another NYC set, maybe 2 if we are lucky.

Nooo! I had no idea he was even sick 😞 He’s been one of my all time favorites. This is so sad.

True legend and a huge loss. He perfectly captured the late 90s era fantasy feel for me, particularly with his saga block cards. I’ve probably tapped one of his Thran Dynamos 5,000 times!

Awesome thanks for this. Yeah it’s sad how so many of these should just be basic employment protections.

I have no special insight but I guarantee the “crunch” pressure from WOTC has to be exploitative. They undoubtedly leverage the fact that you get to work for an awesome game to take advantage of employee pay and work pressure and it’s way past time that ends, especially given how every new set is “the best selling ever.”
