What happened to the sigs???

I was just trying to figure that out too! I figured it was just me...

A bunch of skins got a bit messed up lately so sigs, spoiler tags and mouseovers may not work properly. Unfortunately I'm on my way to japan for PT Nagoya atm (typing this on my phone) so I don't think I can fix it for a few days.

Hopefully the previews for tonight and tommorow autopost properly

You can tap it for a black with Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth out. Or a red with Blood Moon out.

The card is obviously good, but I'm probably not going to play it. I'm happy about every bit of effort I've put into building my decks, and specifically tailored auto-include cards would take a lot of the fun out of deckbuilding for me. Also, I'm still going to call them generals, not commanders, and I don't want to play a card that I feel like punching every time I draw it.

Really? ONE SINGLE LAND is somehow going to make your decks less fun by making your mana base a tiny bit more reliable? If we were talking about like Bribery or Duplicant or something I could see your point, but honestly, this just sounds elitist to me. (then again, if you're playing less than 3 colors I don't think you really need this land).

But I definitely agree with you about calling them Generals. I use the term "Commander" solely and specifically to refer to these 5 decks, but the format is and shall always be EDH and the leader of my decks will be Generals. It's not that I'm even making a concious decision to do this: I just know that I am way too used to the old names to change my habits now.

Rule 1:

Quote:

A deck's commander is also known as its "General" for historical reasons.

The RC has yous "historians" covered!

While this card is crazyawesome, am I the only one digging the art and flavor text?

Tap it in response to a split-second spell of course!
