Like, considering how shit tier Ulrich is, Arlin might as well be the Commander Defacto for Werewolves
In multiplayer I think werewolves needs a lot more immerwolf effects and/or cards that care about transforming either way, like Huntmaster, to really be viable. It seems like it'd be really hard to keep them on the wolf side with so many chances for people to cast multiple spells in a turn.

It really just needs more huntmaster effects.
Best werewolf commander is Ruric Thar, The Unbowed . Doesn't stop people from flashing in multiple creatures and flipping your wolves, but he's a nice deterrent for anyone that gets too spell happy.
Real problem though is that 99% of werewolves are 100% better as wolves than as humans. There's a reason only Huntmaster saw any play, because no matter how many times he flipped, you got value.

It occurs that Bolas essentially just created an army of 40k Necrons.

Decent-sized, high-quality figures are usually in the $100 range, yeah.

Lmao, even Blizzard statues are cheaper. But we haven't recieved statues of this quality before so I'm curious as to what the final price will be.
I can see a price of $400-500 US easily. The only issue I see is that Magic collectors are cheap when it comes to things that aren't actual cards or paintings.

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
Seems like Sandwurm Convergence and a Chaos Maw at the same time is good in my limited deck

I'm asking myself the same question. I want the card for Eldrazi Tron.
I was lucky to open a Liliana The Last Hope and could trade for two Kalitas, Traitor of Ghet when I needed them for Jund so I didn't need to pay for them.
Looking at mtggoldfish.com, the price has been pretty flat for awhile, and I don't see it dropping any time soon considering how bad ass the card is.
I did manage to get a Grim Flayer and Walking Ballista for $15 (together, not each) during my stores 4th of July sale, so I only need three more.

Speaking of cuts from EDH decks, could anyone give me some suggestions on what I should cut from my Skullbriar +1/+1 counter tribal deck? I'm considering adding in Rishkar's Expertise over Shamanic Revelation, but I also want to fit in Mazirek, Verdurous Gearhulk, and Nevinyrral's Disk and I don't know what to cut.

thx helpful advice I went with similar cuts and was undecided on the control magic so far. I do run As Foretold for restore balance and ancestral visions.
No monstrous onslaught?
I'd cut a bunch of top end creatures 36 is a ton of creatures and ideally your commander would finish the job.
It doesn't feel build-around enough. It's just a powerful creature. It also feels a bit awkward, because the original Will-o-the-wisps is a defensive creature and this one is super-aggressive.
Maybe make it a 1/2 with a lure ability?
Will-o-the-Forest BG
Legendary Creature - Spirit
Flying, Deathtouch
B: Regenerate ~.
When ~ attacks, you may pay 1BG. If you do target creature defending player controls gains reach and must block ~ this turn if able.
1/2

I'm surprised it's less than $5. I just assumed it was more than that, being a unique card with only one printing.

lol it's already doubled in the last month
My lgs had a $30 draft for 2 mm17 and 2 EMA packs. I opened a foil Goyf and a Snapcaster and went 3-0 with Esper. Constantly bouncing their board with Man-o'-War, Mist Raven, and Dinrova Horror and bouncing them back to my hand with multiple copies of Deputy of Acquittals and Whitemane Lion was the lulz.

What is Standard like right now? Is there a decent amount of artifact hate or control? Thinking of coming back with Aetherflux combo, but I don't know the meta for the sideboard.
Abrupt Decays and Stubs are still a thing. Not sure how good a modern deck that depends on 2 3 mana enchantments will be- just expensive enough to be slow and run into turned on stubs, but not enough to dodge decay.
That said, unlife isn't a terrible spec as it will always be a playset in Ad Naus and it's only been printed once.
I feel like there's a LOT less Decay than there used to be, but it could come back at any point. Stub is a problem for it for sure. I'm curious to see where this heads.

combining them just makes for a bad worship. Doesn't stop me from doing so in commander.

I mean, all stupid interactions aside, the tech of "Zur lets me fetch this" has to be one of the better ideas he's had recently.
Stupid bullshit, I got banned from magic tcg reddit because of my post. They let it alone for hours and then banned me for it.
Meanwhile we've got no less than three to five meme like posts on the front, including a Saskia one, the Nicol Bolas one dunking, and how is my post against rules exactly? It's not even in a meme format.

I always end up getting them most busted draft decks right off the bat in new formats.
The Locust God wasn't even first pick; it was somewhere in the second pack and I was already UR before I even saw it. Also got passed Champion of Wits after it.
P1P1 and P2'd open fire into clear ur spells deck. Got passed all that stuff pack 2, then picked up enigma drake pack three along with some other goodies. Easiest 3-0 of my life and I know I'll never see anything this powerful for the remainder of HOU/AMK limited.

For that blue and gold dress thing? That... seems totally harmless.
You know, I looked over this, and the only thought I really had was "God I wish Viscera Seer was in Standard".
Seriously, is it too much to ask for a 1cc sac outlet that doesn't cost extra mana per sac? I want to play Aristocrats, dammit!

they reprinted nantuko husk in origins and it went on to devastate standad because it did not cost 1 to activate.
Bah. People can't handle good sac outlets. Not my problem. I just want to be able to play my copy of Bontu without having to pay mana to turn her on for a turn.
Familienoberhauptvogel

no they handle them too well. You were able to 20 people by saccing your board to husk then rally the ancestors the whole board back and repeat it.
that was actually the most disgusting deck of recent years of broken standards in retrospective.
Eh, Yahenni doesn't do it for me. 3 mana for 2 power, no evasion, she's just a very boring creature that's not hard to deal with even with a bunch of tokens to sac for her. Biggest plus for her is she only costs one B so she's easy to splash.
Maybe my standards are too high, but I remember the original aristocrat. It was this bad motherfucker.
Look at that. 4 power. Flying. Grows if you sac humans. What a fantastic creature. What I wouldn't give for an aristocrat of that level in standard.

Yeah, that was a disgusting deck.
It's the best available, free sac outlets like Viscera Seer are really easy to break, so they clearly cut down on them.
"I want a free sac outlet"
"How about Yahenni?"
"No not that one!"
Your standards are too high. Yahenni is as good as it gets right now sadly.
Yeah, that's pretty clear.
Well, Yahenni isn't too bad. Pretty hard to kill at least and forces them to hold up a blocker or eat some damage. Good with Bontu as well.
Hope they give us a Zulaport Cutthroat alternative in Ixalan to make up for rotation.

Reminder that Yahenni is a they, not a she.
Was unaware. I completely ignored the plot of Kaladesh. Thank you for letting me know.
Cool that WotC is including gender non-binary characters. I remember how big it was when they revealed that Alesha was trans and how cool it was that it wasn't a big deal.
