I don't play EDH or commander, but I'm going to be buying that deck. I give them extra credit for the fact that the art shows two guys who are very clearly more than friends. Huge props to Blizzard for this one.
It didn't become a $15 card til this year. It was near bulk even this set was designed
The subtle hair playing is amazing.
And I love that it's an interracial couple as well. They really went the extra mile on them.
Wait... Who? Lol

What that guy said ^^
Allied painlands are the ones that need a reprint tho.
They've already shown allied and enemy pain lands.
Um... Was it ever in white border?

If anything can demonstrate just how much Magic has grown over the years, the fact that the painlands that were printed all to hell in just ages and ages of core sets over the years can go up to $15 now should do it.

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
They're in though
We don't know if all the allied painlands are in.
Gonna be some bullshit if brushland is left out.

Ack, I meant new border.

BTW, I find the negative reaction to Partner kinda strange. It's a mechanic that encourages people to play decks with Commanders that are fun and do one reasonable thing apiece instead of ridiculous combo or prison or whatever broken stuff that people complained about from previous sets.
That would certainly make sense for getting the manabases where they want, and nothing on that list is something they'd be likely to reprint in a Standard set anytime soon.

people will play partners so that they can play one partner and have access to a ridiculously broken card from another colour (see: kydele)
Don't both cards have to have Partner?
He means using the 2nd partner as means to access another color, nothing more.
Ah, yes, sure, you're right.

I mean sure? But none of the partner commanders are particularly impressive on their own, and running a mediocre three color commander just to get access to those colors has always been a thing
two wrongs don't make a right
vial smasher for example will probably see play in duel commander with blue or green as an extra colour. being able to play force of will or become immense and deal 5/6 free damage is probably too good

Yeah, Vial Smasher seems really good for Duel Commander. Partner with green to get the benefits of ramp also. Blue for the benefits of counterspells.
There are also a lot of cards that have alternate castings costs such as exile a card from your hand, pay X life, Evoke, Dash, Cycling, etc. that will save your Mana but help out Vial Smashers ability.

Emerge maybe? Pay 2 to deal 7 and tap 4 with Elder Deep Fiend?

But then why name him Ludevic??
If you needed to name him after an established character, Maree of the Mizzet could fit with those stats

Midnight Oil is a much better limited card than I was expecting. Helps that I had two Gearhulks to draw into, but still.
I swear WOTC messes up some of the easiest "layups" all the fucking time. Did they really not forsee people getting upset that the flavor and lore of a character don't match up at all with the mechanics? Like FFS WOTC come on here - this is not the set/circumstance to let "deck needs" trample all over lore.

Win the flip: Giant explosion, pyro and ballyhoo. Everything does
Loose the flip: the fuse goes out. You can relight it next turn and try agai

Positively insane mana sink. I just found my Landfall commander. Now the question is just what other colours I want for it. I've long flirted with Sultai Landfall but red has more support for landfall than black and white has a decent amount as well.

This is hilarious from a flavour standpoint. The card is also not bad at all.
Fun card to try to build around, for sure

Insane mana sink indeed..
Also since I planned on making a partner edh deck I was curious about a few things. It may have already been said in here, but incase it wasn't ill say it anyways: commander tax for partners applies individually. So if one of the partners dies and you hadn't cast the other yet, the 2nd partner isnt taxed. Also, commander damage is based on the individual partner.
