I would love to hear you guys talk about multi-player strategies like which cards not to play in commander if you want to keep your friends, or at least which commanders trigger the "dogpile response" in your opponents.

I thank you for not making me say it DarkAbyssKeeper, now that horrible pun is not under my name.

Another Evermind casting option: Narset!
Or Brilliant Ultimatum
Or Counterlash
Or Galvanoth
Or Kaho, Minamo Historian
Or Knowlesdge pool
Or Master of Predicaments
Or Omniscience
Or Oracle of Bones
Or any of the Hideaway lands

When speculating about future planeswalkers in Khans block, let's not overlook Kharn - According to Urza Silver is the only thing that can survive time travel and Kharn was explicitly built to travel time. Fate reforged is set in the past and the only Walker that could go there from the present is the Golem. So he'd be a good candidate for the walker that isn't Ugin...

A couple of things:

1. None of the Eldrazi Titans are dead. The Zendikar storyline ended on a cliffhanger, and last we saw, the plane is still being munched on by Eldrazi. (Although some of the titans might have returned to the blind eternities.)

2. Sarkhan is totes still crazy. Haven't you seen the card Tormenting Voice? There's even an Uncharted Realms called "The Madness of Sarkhan".

In addition, we've seen a "here's where everyone is" storyline update, where they say explicitly that Kozilek is still on Zendikar, but Ulamog and Emrakul have left.

The Commander ban list change should read like "Ban list and Not Banned, but your friends will stop playing with you list"
I'm not insane. I just have an overly vivid imagination!

If the art you were talking about of Chad one-hitting Emrakul was the art on Near-Death Experience, that isn't Emmy, its just a random other Eldrazi drone. Like a Pathrazer of Ulamog or something. Chad couldn't kill Emrakul in a zillion years. Heck, it took 3 pre-mending walkers just to imprison the Eldrazi, and even then barely so.

No. No, no, no. They're not saying "Problematic as a commander" is a category. They're saying "Problematic as a commander" is now a reason WHY a card would be banned. Read it again. ..and add "Problematic as a commander" as a BANLIST CRITERIA. So now there is just banned and not banned, and if a card is too problematic as a commander, it gets just plain banned. That's what they're saying.

Well then we vastly misread that post.

Apologies!
