All my decks have different color identity but any blue deck i have runs swan song. Also, is this my new Rogue tribal commander just needs a few cards to be shipped.
James Hughes
Sol Ring, because it's fast mana but not as gay as Mana Crypt.
Josiah Ramirez
I only run green decks and I always run Cultivate/Kodama's Reach. Ramps mana, maintains hand size, deck thins, helps find colors you need.
Zachary Sullivan
>Cards that you always include
Command Tower, Sol Ring, Cultivate/Kodama's Reach, Counterspell, Rites of Flourishing
Blake Smith
>Are there cards you include in absolutely every single deck you build? What are they and why? All Decks: Sol Ring All Multicolor Decks: Command Tower. In monocolor a basic is better.
Nothing else really jumps out as a 100% include under common conditions.
Connor Evans
It's gonna be kinda weird having two Tribal decks of the same tribe.
Julian Cook
If it has access to red, it gets Vicious Shadows and Blasphemous Act no matter what.
Are those official or what, they're not on MythicSpoiler
Jonathan Ward
They're original artwork and if you look at the other pictures it says it's by an artist with a very similar style.
Nathan Lee
>they're not on MythicSpoiler they are though
Daniel Bennett
What's would be the best ramp for this? I already have: Somberwald Sage Sol Ring Chromatic Lantern Skyshroud Claim/Explosive Vegetation Cultivate Kodama's Reach Nature's Lore/Farseek/Rampant Growth Dragonlord's Servant Urza's Incubator Dragonspeaker Shaman Selvala, Heart of the Wilds Shaman of Forgotten Ways Thran Dynamo Gilded Lotus
Parker Gutierrez
anyone else just hate this card?
Jaxson Hernandez
>Are there cards you include in absolutely every single deck you build? What are they and why? the only one i put in every deck is sol ring but i definitely put cards in if im using certain colors
Christopher Moore
Ye I just checked new spoilers sections, they are indeed. On Salvation there's a thread with some spoilers as well, there's reprints of the FRF dragons in the dragon deck.
Jaxon Jackson
Not as much as I hate O-Kagachi.
Christopher Young
O-Kagachi is lame as hell, it doesn't do him justice. What's up with WotC making the shittiest cards for the most interesting characters?
Nolan Carter
that one is ok, seems like a decent general that is just there to give you the colors you need with occasional uses which i personally think all 5 color commanders should be
Logan Martin
What are your predictions for the other commander 2017 tribals? Mine are: Red - Dwarves Green/White/Black - Humans Blue/Black - Faeries, Rogues
Aiden Thompson
I normally play decks with at least a splash of red, so Mana Geyser is almost always an auto include.
Mots underrated EDH card imho
Cameron Carter
No way for dwarves, but faeries and humans seem likely. Do we have an idea on what the colors will be? My hopes are for either WBR Warriors or WUB Spirits.
Jordan Moore
>wish for a legal 5c kamigawa commander for the longest time >finally get one >it's a pile of vomit MONKEY PAW NOOOOOOO
Gavin Butler
>Are there cards you include in absolutely every single deck you build? What are they and why? Sensei's Divining Top
It will be a sad day when it gets banned in the format.
Nathan James
5c commanders are cancer
I hope the 3 spoiled cards are from the same "tribe"
>cat dragon
Blake Collins
i keked pretty hard when i saw all the dragon spoilers because i already have most of them in my scion deck. this big daddyo seems like a decent trick to pull out with scion (and garbage in the command zone). then again my scion deck already has way too many dragons to function in a vancouver mulligan world.
Landon Ramirez
>5c commanders are cancer I like Reaper King and Horde of Notions, Alara baby is okay, I don't like playing Slivers and Tazri is cancer. O-Kagachi is literally a worse commander for a Kamigawa deck than Karona. Bottom up (or rather "up the arse") design at its worst.
David Martinez
mtg.gamepedia.com/Wasitora She's definitely a dragon. Seems like they might be doing the thing they did with the original commander set by having 2 new legendaries in the decks colors, 1 old one (probably Scion for the dragon deck), and 1 additional new legendary that's only a couple of the colors.
Ryder Kelly
>garbage in the command zone I don't get why people are jumping to this conclusion. As a dragon tribal commander I can see a lot of potential just for his discounted dragons.
Brandon Taylor
>Bottom up (or rather "up the arse") design at its worst. He's actually clearly top down resulting in terrible mechanics (which, in a way, is fitting for the boss of Kamigawa). He retaliates against slights with exile-y brutality referencing his story role and his one previous card appearance on Final Judgment, and he's not indestructible because That Which Was Taken was his fucking divinity counter and Konda swiped it.
Cooper Allen
Would you say Tazri is cancer even if you don't play FC?
Wyatt Garcia
Well I'm pissed off about Wizards being so heavily fixated about ETB effects in the last couple of blocks (which is what Allies are entirely about) and printing very few hard answers to them, so yes.
Tyler Cruz
Yes, tutor commanders are all powerful but cancerous.
Julian Barnes
I posted this yesterday and no one said anything. Can I get some feedback on this deck?
This. Just make the deck RG focused with the other colors splashed for support. Then do a curve built around ramp/discount effects and spamming dragons. It doesn't have the crazy combo potential that Scion does, but if you wanna play dragon tribal, you can do so competently without getting hated out
Angel Murphy
the absolute madmen :3
Michael Harris
It's a bit of a "Luedvic" situation, where the card doesn't really reflect how powerful the creature should be. If I remember correctly, when O-Kagachi appeared in the material side of the plane during the story its presence began to tear Kamigawa apart. This is its card to appear in Kamigawa because otherwise it would have too powerful as a creature. In addition it was able to protect the plane from Old Walkers.
Atleast they remembered the exiling part.
Xavier Jones
It's not quite Ludevic because part of the problem with Ludevic is not just that he fails to hit the power level, but that he doesn't even do anything we would expect Ludevic to do. O-Kagachi does his stuff poorly but at least he does his stuff (being revenge and exiling). Would it have been great to get a big spirit boss who could Sneak Attack things at your opponent (See: Through the Breach), tearing the veil assunder and letting lose a ceaseless army like some commander-friendly version of Spawnsire? Yeah, but what we got isn't as far from the mark as Ludevic.
Parker Cook
i did not play during kamigawa so i dont remember anything
Ayden Anderson
You're right, the two aren't that comparable. They were more playing it safe.
O-Kagachi should be atleast an 8/8 and more like the like Miyojin it has a divinity counter when you play it, then you can remove that counter for an effect, like Exiling all other Creatures.
Jack Cook
A Sneak Attack effect with spirits would be pretty cool too since it would have synergy with Soulshift as well as have synergy with expensive dragons... Now I'm sad thinking about what could have been.
Camden Sanchez
Cast value for days.
Nicholas Cooper
That seems really cool!
Caleb Martin
>giving us a Monk tribal commander in a dragon tribal deck Those sneaky little shits. I like it, but I wish it was Jeskai.
Gabriel Price
...
Jack Walker
Shut up about Jeskai if you don't want the dragonlords fucking your shit up. It's Ojutai now.
Xavier Myers
>meme commander No thanks.
Xavier Barnes
I think my favorite part is how he is worded so he only needs to attack for them to gain rebound, not do combat damage.
Chase Evans
WHY THE FUCK IS IT NOT JESKAI REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Levi Reyes
MANA MEMES
Oliver Jones
Because Ojutai and fucked up timeline
Brody Diaz
progenitus here we come
Elijah Russell
Damn that's spicy
Jack Adams
There is no Jeskai anymore. Bolas's attempted killing of Ugin leading to Sarkhan's unintentional time fuckery led to that.
Aaron Fisher
>satisfy stupidly easy requirement >cast PRO FUCKING GENITUS
wew lad
Austin Green
>Use it's ability to cast the Ur-Dragon >Immediately get all the counters back to cast it again
Juan King
>all these unplayably weak legends for dragon tribal >the one i would actually want to play isn't fucking red I hate wotc
Jaxon Ramirez
Jeskai-timeline Taigam was a traitor little shit who worked for the Sultai.
Anyway, >UW spellslinger Here we goooooo
And SHIT it's a legend! How many legends we got so far only from the dragon deck? Spicy af.
Luke Rogers
And five mana
Zachary Clark
>giving a shit about story in a commander precon
Brandon Williams
That is some spicy bullshit Like, the spiciest of bullshit
Luke Green
>not giving a shit about story in a commander precon Just think about Atraxa that gave us a much needed update on what shenanigans are happening on New Phyrexia
Aaron Gomez
Also that Ramos is related to the Mercadian Masques' Ramos?
Carter Long
>Ramos And they made him actually good? This makes up for O-Kagachi being bland
Juan Brooks
Sarkhan decided to doom millions to nonexistence because he was butthurt about a lack of dragons
Ethan Collins
Yup, they're going deep with all this lore.
Wyatt Perez
This can't be fucking real.
Charles Martinez
They are the same. That Ramos was a robot dragon the whole time.
Christian Taylor
>How many legends we got so far only from the dragon deck? Five. Three 5c Commanders (Ur, Ramos, O-Kagachi) and two that together add up to 5c (Taigam and the Kitty dragon)
Elijah Powell
If O-Kagachi had "At the beginning of your combat step, if an opponent attacked you during their last turn, you may cast O-Kagachi from your command zone for WBRUG tapped and attacking that player."
Along with the exiling of a nonland permanent.
Would you think it was good enough then? Gets around commander tax and comes in swinging.
Liam Taylor
why aren't you on R&D
Caleb Morales
Yeah, that would be pretty awesome. Though really I'd take the exile being an attack trigger rather than a damage trigger so that you couldn't escape so easily.
Jace Murphy
Because I'm an unknown 26 year old genius who threw his life away by impregnating a beautiful 18 year old at the age of 20.
If someone wants to give me a job I'm all in thanks in advance

Joseph Lopez
Come on baby, I need a minute between rounds.
Jack Cook
>The Ur-Dragon Spicy and flavorful, I like it. The passive effect is decent, but I doubt he will ever be cast due to being 9CMC
>Taigam Wasn't this guy some evil dude in the story? I forgot. Either way he's my favorite of the entire leak so far.
>Kamigawa dude hot steaming pile of shit
>Cat dragon Not bad but kind of boring
>Ramos door to nothingness+progenitus.dec
With that being said, what do you think the other tribes will be? I'm glad they are not all dragons and actually doing other tribes, which I suspect every list will have
Juan Sanchez
This is fucking disgusting. Why do they make shit that's so blatantly fucking ridiculous?
Thomas Evans
>doesn't have to connect
Andrew Hall
I can see humans or zombies. I'm really hoping we get a WB Knight with that.
Julian Anderson
I'm getting real sick of them shoving so many Tarkir people into everything Commander. For fuck sake, in the 4c ones 5 of the Partners (of 15) were Tarkir, and even one of the 5 decks had ONLY Tarkir Partners.
Andrew Green
I'm hoping for Knight tribal specifically with maybe some Human and Soldier splashed in.
Austin Wilson
Am I missing anything for my Jarad deck? I wanted to make a cheap fun second edh deck
What about Soldier Tribal with support for Knights and Samurai?
Joseph Martin
Where are you getting five?
Ikra, Isahai, Reyhan, and Vial are Tarkir. By comparison, Tymna, Thrasios, Ravos, and Kydele are all from Theros, which is the same count.
Akri and Bruse are Zendikar Ludevic and Kraum are Innistrad
Sidar (Dominaria), Silas (Alara), and Tana (???) are alone
The two partners of a given enemy color are both from the same plane. Tarkir has a pair and two of the allied, Theros has two pairs. Nu Timeline Tarkir is shit though
Zachary Smith
If they're all 5 color decks: Slivers, Humans, Elementals
If they're colors that make sense for the tribes, and the typical tribes Wizards is likely to go with: Any 3 of: Elves (G or BG), Merfolk (U), Goblins (R, RG, BR, Jund), Zombies (B, UB, Esper), Wizards (U or UR)
If they're colors that make sense for the tribes and not those above (as in I actually want this section to be real): Angels (W or WBR), Knights (WBR), Sphinx (U or Esper)
So far into the realm of impossibility it'll literally never happen but that doesn't stop me from wanting it anyway: Fox (W), Hound (W or GW)
James Wood
Ah, right, I had the count confused a little. It's 5 from Theros and 4 from Tarkir. Still, between the 4c decks and this year so far, I'm getting real sick of them sticking to already well known places for new cards, especially when supplements are the only chance there is for older lore characters to get cards. (ex. Sidar)
Lincoln Morales
>what do you think the other tribes will be? I'm still betting that we get Abzan Elves and Jund Goblins since they're in painful need of good tribal commanders. I'd say Mardu Angels for the last but they already have Kaalia for that. Esper or Jeskai Artificers would be cool, as would Izzet or Grixis Pirates, but they're extremely outside possibilities.
Kayden Morales
>cycle Decree of Savagery >get Progenitus
Jack Sanchez
I feel you but frankly I'll take Taigam for O-Kagachi, Ur Dragon, Wasitroa and Ramos. Especially the last two, who I would have thought utterly forgotten.
Jason Hall
wait it only places four counters. reading is hard
Ethan Long
Just play Hardened Scales (and every other +1/+1 doubler)
Eli Fisher
We're getting Dominaria, Kamigawa, and fucking Mercadia of all places. Expect some weird stuff this time.
Aaron Lopez
Thrasios Landfall deck...
Do I go Vial Smasher for black and red, or do I go Bruse for white and red?
David Gonzalez
>they'll still ignore Lorwyn because we're not allowed to have fun art
Samuel Rodriguez
The answer is always Vial Smasher.
Luis Bell
>yfw one of the tribes is fairies and oona gets a new card
Alexander Moore
How many opponents do you expect? If the answer is greater than 1, give Vial a pass.
Isaiah Morgan
I'd be very okay with that. I love Oona, but she's way more geared for combo than faerie tribal
Ryan Richardson
4 counters + 1 from Ramos' ability, you get 5 total and can get that sweet Progenitus
