Basically, Sultai Mutate and Abzan Keywords were consistently bad, with Sultai Mutate taking last place in a massive six categories but somehow beating out Abzan Keywords by a point since Abzan Keywords ranked at or near the bottom so consistently, while Sultai Mutate managed to finish second in some of the commander-based categories. Even though they aren't the most exciting spells to copy with Kalamax, the Stormsire, they are important for policing the table in multiplayer Commander games. At MTGGoldfish, we value your privacy. Every year, reprint value is a major criticism of the Commander release, but in reality, the average value of reprints (only counting cards worth at least $2) has increased yet again this year. Showcasing offbeat brews from around the internet. Worsts: Face Commander, Land Value, Reprint Commanders, Reprints, Out-of-the-Box, Upgradable. Please take a moment to review them and accept to continue. Temur Spells: While Kalamax, the Stormsire is a potentially powerful commander, it needs to be tapped to do anything cool, and the precon is lacking in noncombat ways to make it happen. Let me know in the comments! Export to Archidekt. The clear winner here, though, is Temur Spells. Join Crim (TheAsianAvenger), Seth (SaffronOlive) and Richard (BlackTuna) as they discuss the weekly news and answer user submitted questions. Bounce him? While expecting a mana base of fetch lands and shock lands in a $40 precon deck isn't reasonable, the current mana bases don't really offer very much value to players picking up the decks. What are the odds of winning with Combustible Gearhulk (along with some of its Gearhulkian friends) in Historic? There are also a bunch more good spell copiers to consider, ranging from Fork to Ral, Storm Conduit. Maelstrom Wanderer - (G) (SF) (txt) (ER)[[cardname]] or [[cardname|SET]] to call. Highlighting the Pauper format where only Commons are allowed. Firsts: None. Tymna the Weaver. Meanwhile, the three top decks didn't finish last in a single category. Sultai Mutate: While Zaxara, the Exemplary is one of the most fun legends in all of Commander 2020 and is certainly worth pulling out of the precon to build around, directly upgrading the Sultai Mutate deck is problematic. I have trouble seeing why this commander is fun/popular, could you enlighten me? From a more meta perspective, I think the low scores of Abzan Keywords and Sultai Mutate show some of the dangers of tying Commander precons to set releases. Wildest thing was killing a Animar player with his infinite combo on the stack with a deathbringer thoctar activation with support from another player that copied it and helped, then killing every one with Metallic Redcap when it was my turn. Yeah, Grenzo is tons of fun. Crazy stuff happens when he is around. While things likely haven't shifted too much in the past few days, they have potentially shifted a bit. Anyway, that's all for today. In the future, I think Wizards should try really hard to avoid tying Commander decks to set-specific mechanics. Note: prices are from Wednesday April 15.

Seconding this, just built grenzo a couple weeks ago and he's an absolute blast to pilot. Click the add button on any card to start building your decklist. Meanwhile, the value of the Abzan Keyword land slot is inflated by Nesting Grounds—the only new land of note in Commander 2020—which is currently close to $7. You never know what you're gonna get. I built without mass land destruction or Kiki or extra turns to lower the power level and maximize the fun and it's the best. In terms of land value, Mardu Humans is the clear winner, mostly because along with a bunch of random dual lands in the $1–2 range, it also got the $5 Path of Ancestry (which is a solid reprint and a very playable land in Commander). Jeskai Cycling: The Jeskai Cycling deck already has a lot of the best cycling cards and cycling payoffs, but a few big additions can be made, especially Decree of Silence and Decree of Annihilation (if you are feeling especially mean), which are the most powerful cards in all of Magic that you can cycle for free with Gavi, Nest Warden. Not really relevant for OP, but my group has been thinking of Grenzo with regards to the London Mulligan. Colorless cards are like lands—they fit into so many Commander decks that they form the backbone of a good Commander collection. Suggestions? Tatyova - (G) (SF) (txt) (ER)[[cardname]] or [[cardname|SET]] to call, I currently use her for self/mill and she is insanely fun. Which Commander 2020 deck are you most excited for? While the deck looks super fun to play and Kalamax, the Stormsire is a potentially powerful commander, the precon doesn't go far enough to harness its power. Jeskai Cycling: Due to the nature of cycling itself, and thanks to the power of Gavi, Nest Warden with cycling cards, the Jeskai Cycling deck should be one of the most consistent Commander 2020 decks for straight-out-of-the-box play.
