THE COMMANDER CODE

Besides that, there are plenty of cards like Twincast and Narset’s Reversal that copy spells without casting the copy (notably, Isochron Scepter casts its copies. Errant synergizes decently with the casualty mechanic many spells in this set have that let you sacrifice a creature at or above a specific power threshold to copy them, but what other options do we have? Well, there are plenty of other keyword abilities that create copies of spells without casting them: storm(/gravestorm), replicate, conspire, demonstrate and yes, epic (bad news on cipher – it casts the copy). Unlike Bonded Fetch, this hasty defender has an activated ability that doesn’t just automatically get the fun started right off the bat! You have to put a spell on the stack without casting it, and you have to have mana to activate Errant in response. Main Set The Commanders / White & Blue / Black & Red / Green and Other Commander Set The Commanders / White & Blue / Black & Red / Green and Other Most of the commanders are within the three-color family identities: Obscura (WUB), Masetros (UBR), Riveteers (BRG), Cabaretti (RGW) and Brokers (GWU), but a few are monocolor cards.

Please note that all of the cards in this review are from the main set with code SNC – the commander cards, with set code NCC ( New Capenna Commander ) will be in a separate article. This time around, we’ll start with the eligible commanders and then move on to the rest of the set.

In particular, if I don’t mention a card with one of the set’s core mechanics, my thoughts can likely be summarized as “Decent in a deck focused on that mechanic, not great outside of it.” When you inevitably disagree with a review (or think I skipped something good), please feel free to tweet at with your thoughts! I also don’t review every card – if I feel they’re not worth mentioning, I don’t give them a write-up, but we all know there’s a deck out there for every card. I won’t be reviewing reprints, so you can just assume I feel the same way about Disdainful Stroke as I did before we found out it was in this set. My goal when playing Commander is for everyone to have fun but also for me to have a good shot at winning the game – or at least doing the thing my deck set out to do – so if that’s your mindset as well, these reviews will probably resonate with you.

These days, I’ve been leaning more toward a desire to play three 40-minute games in lieu of one two-hour slog, but I’ll be talking about cards from the wider social perspective. While I love Limited, Modern, Pauper and most every format, today I’ll be focusing on my favorite format of all-time, Commander, with a look at the best New Capenna Commander cards!Īs a reminder, my focus is on social Commander rather than competitive EDH.

It’s time to step up to the Streets of New Capenna ! With the prerelease starting up this Friday and the Arena and MTGO releases following a week later (an order I think is quite good for local game stores), we’re heading into a very exciting time for Magic players across all formats.
