<p>It's Tuesday, July 15th, and another day of <em>Edge of Eternities</em> spoilers has come and gone! We've been recapping some of the best previews from the <em>EOE</em> preview season with each day of reveals. As such, today is no exception. Let's get right into it!</p>
<p>Today, we got another handful of preview cards from the main set. But maybe even more prolific is the massive number of land cards we saw from the <em>Stellar Sights</em> bonus sheet! If you thought yesterday's haul was big, just you wait; some of these lands are truly impactful reprints.</p>
<h2><em>Edge of Eternities</em> Main Set</h2>
<p>First off, though, let's look at the main set reveals from today. The following content creators and media outlets provided today's spoilers:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>JacERROR</strong></li>
<li><strong>Good Games Morley</strong></li>
<li><strong>Jack Saunders</strong></li>
<li><strong>WeeklyMTG</strong></li>
<li><strong>CoolStuffInc</strong></li>
<li><strong>TheGamer</strong></li>
</ul>
<p>As always, we omitted any previews that didn't have renders at the ready at the time of writing. With that, let's look at what we saw!</p>

<p>These are impressive reveals indeed! But, they still might just pale in comparison to today's bonus sheet cards. Let's take a good look at those next!</p>
<h2><em>Stellar Sights</em> Bonus Sheet</h2>
<p>In all, there were as many as sixteen or so cards revealed within <em>Edge of Eternities</em>' <em>Stellar Sights</em> bonus sheet today. These were primarily provided by WeeklyMTG's <a href="http://twitch.tv/magic">Twitch</a> stream, which airs every Tuesday. As alluded to above, some of these bonus sheet cards are remarkably impactful reprints for the game! Without further ado, here are those reprints:</p>

Best Edge of Eternities Spoilers For Tuesday, July 15th

<h6 style="text-align: right;"><span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Infinite Guideline Station" href="#" target="_blank">Infinite Guideline Station</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> | Art by <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/PiotrDura?msockid=113f3236d4da60961c8c3f3cd572614b&amp;dd_referrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.bing.com%2F">Piotr Dura</a></h6>
<p><a href="https://edhrec.com/sets/eoe"><em>Edge of Eternities</em></a> preview season is here, and so far we've seen a lot of new cards that are out of this world. From the commons all the way up to the mythics, it looks to be a set filled with possible Commander staples.</p>
<p>On top of that, it also brings a new rules change to the format, with legendary Vehicles and Spacecraft being legal as your commander.</p>
<p>While we've only seen a handful of these hulking new Spacecraft, one of them has already caught the attention of the Commander community at large.</p>
<p><span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Infinite Guideline Station" href="#" target="_blank">Infinite Guideline Station</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> is a five-color commander that cares about multicolor permanents; which is just begging to be brewed around!</p>
<p>Join me, Tyler 'Savesya' Bucks, as I show you fourteen cards for under $14 that will get you ready to make this deck right when the set is released.</p>
<h2>The Commander - Infinite Guideline Station</h2>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Infinite Guideline Station"></div></div>
<p>Introducing the <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Infinite Guideline Station" href="#" target="_blank">Infinite Guideline Station</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>, a five mana 7/15 that makes you 2/2 Robot tokens when it hits the board. It also has a new mechanic called 'Station', which shares some similarities to 'Crew' for Vehicles.</p>
<p>You can tap your creatures at sorcery speed to add charge counters to a Spacecraft, and in this case, once you hit twelve or more, it becomes a creature.</p>
<p>When it reaches that point, it can attack and block as normal. Which is great, because it also comes with a wicked attack trigger, drawing you a card for each multicolor permanent you control.</p>
<p>So, not only does this commander help you in the mid-game by making you a board of creature tokens, but it can also accelerate you into the late-game with refilling your hand.</p>
<h2>Multicolor-Matters</h2>
<p>With this list, I will be highlighting some great multicolor permanents you can play to maximize both of this Station's abilities, as well as tapping and counter synergies for getting those twelve charge counters.</p>
<p>Let's kick things off by looking at some amazing budget singles that care about cards with a multiple colors.</p>
<h3>Faeburrow Elder</h3>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Faeburrow Elder"></div></div>
<p>The perfect example of a multicolor-matters card, that benefits this deck in two different ways, is <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Faeburrow Elder" href="#" target="_blank">Faeburrow Elder</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>. Not only is it a powerful mana dork, having the ability to generate you all five colors, but it can also grow in size as you build out your board.</p>
<p>That will allow you to tap it and add its power to the Infinite Guideline's Station cost the turn after it helped bring it onto the field.</p>
<h3>Jenson Carthalion, Druid Exile</h3>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Jenson Carthalion, Druid Exile"></div></div>
<p>Speaking of assisting with casting your commander, our next creature <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Jenson Carthalion, Druid Exile" href="#" target="_blank">Jenson Carthalion, Druid Exile</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> is here to help with that as well! Sure, it only filters your mana into WUBRG (so it isn't ramp like our last entry) but that can be incredibly beneficial in a pinch, if your mana isn't lining up.</p>
<p>On top of that, whenever you cast all the great cards we will be talking about today, you'll either scry 1, smoothing out your draws, or make a 4/4 flying Angel.</p>
<h3 class="cardDetailsOverlay_title__6Xo0r ">General Ferrous Rokiric</h3>
<p class="cardDetailsOverlay_title__6Xo0r "><div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="General Ferrous Rokiric"></div></div></p>
<p>Let's add even more big tokens to the mix with <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="General Ferrous Rokiric" href="#" target="_blank">General Ferrous Rokiric</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>. This legend has hexproof from monocolored, and makes you a 4/4 Golem creature token whenever you cast multicolored spells.</p>
<p>Not only are these amazing on offense and defense, but they're great for turning your commander into a creature. Having only three of those tokens on the board ensures you can reach twelve charge counters on the Station by tapping them right away.</p>
<h3 class="cardDetailsOverlay_title__6Xo0r ">Knight of New Alara</h3>
<div class="archidektDropdown_trigger__Wdtom " tabindex="0">
<div><div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Knight of New Alara"></div></div></div>
</div>
<div></div>
<div>Sometimes, going tall with your board might be better than going wide, and sometimes you can do both. <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Knight of New Alara" href="#" target="_blank">Knight of New Alara</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> giving your other creatures +1/+1 for each of their colors is incredible in this deck.</div>
<div></div>
<div>Turning all of these multicolor creatures in the 99 into bigger beaters is great, but the fact that it will also make your commander a 12/20 once its Station cost is met is just the icing on the big scary cake...</div>
<div></div>
<div>
<h3 class="cardDetailsOverlay_title__6Xo0r ">Rienne, Angel of Rebirth</h3>
<div class="archidektDropdown_trigger__Wdtom " tabindex="0">
<div><div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Rienne, Angel of Rebirth"></div></div></div>
</div>
</div>
<div></div>
<div>If you want to have your cake, and eat it too, <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Rienne, Angel of Rebirth" href="#" target="_blank">Rienne, Angel of Rebirth</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> will make sure none of your creature's leave the game for long. The power buff Rienne offers is amazing in this deck, since it assists with powering up your commander.</div>
<div>However, the main star of the show is that when you're ready to start your all-out attacks, you'll be able to get your multicolored creatures back if they bite the dust during combat. An effect like that is exactly the kind of value you need to lock down a game with this deck.</div>
<div></div>
<div>
<h3 class="cardDetailsOverlay_title__6Xo0r ">Fallaji Wayfarer</h3>
<div class="archidektDropdown_trigger__Wdtom " tabindex="0">
<div><div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Fallaji Wayfarer"></div></div></div>
<div></div>
</div>
</div>
<div>Now I know <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Fallaji Wayfarer" href="#" target="_blank">Fallaji Wayfarer</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> looks out of place in this list, but believe it or not, it really is "all colors." Getting that value for only three mana is strong, but that last line of text is what puts this over the edge, giving all the multicolored spells you cast convoke.</div>
<div></div>
<div>Something that often gets overlooked with that ability is that your creatures pay for one generic <em>OR </em>one mana of the creature's color. Making the Wayfarer basically a five-color mana dork.</div>
<div>
<h3 class="cardDetailsOverlay_title__6Xo0r ">Pillar of the Paruns</h3>
<div class="archidektDropdown_trigger__Wdtom " tabindex="0">
<div><div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Pillar of the Paruns"></div></div></div>
<div></div>
</div>
</div>
<div>Closing out the multicolored section, we have a land tailor made for this kind of deck. <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Pillar of the Paruns" href="#" target="_blank">Pillar of the Paruns</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> is an untapped land that makes a mana of any color, the small downside is that the mana can only be spent on multicolored spells... Which is no problem in this deck!</div>
<div></div>
<div>Sure, there may be a few cards here and there you can't cast with this, but the vast majority of the time, this will just be like another <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Command Tower" href="#" target="_blank">Command Tower</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> for you.</div>
<h2>Counters &amp; Tapping Synergies</h2>
<p>Now as you saw, multicolored permanents are incredibly important to making the <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Infinite Guideline Station" href="#" target="_blank">Infinite Guideline Station</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> tick, but let's dive into a few more ways to power up this commander.</p>
<p>These effects that will add more counters to the station, or give you benefits for tapping your creatures.</p>
<h3 class="cardDetailsOverlay_title__6Xo0r ">Tidus, Yuna's Guardian</h3>
<div class="archidektDropdown_trigger__Wdtom " tabindex="0">
<div><div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Tidus, Yuna&#039;s Guardian"></div></div></div>
<div></div>
</div>
<div>Our first spell in this section adds some card draw, and proliferation to the mix. <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Tidus, Yuna&#039;s Guardian" href="#" target="_blank">Tidus, Yuna&#039;s Guardian</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> will <em>cheer </em>on your creatures when they hit your opponents, which will get you that extra card, and add a counter to whatever permanent or player you want.</div>
<div></div>
<div>A creature like this incentivizes you to push damage forward, and pays you off with some card advantage, while getting you one step closer to powering up your commander!</div>
<div>
<h3 class="cardDetailsOverlay_title__6Xo0r ">Cayth, Famed Mechanist</h3>
<div class="archidektDropdown_trigger__Wdtom " tabindex="0">
<div><div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Cayth, Famed Mechanist"></div></div></div>
</div>
<div></div>
<div>Proliferate is one of the strongest mechanics in the game, and <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Cayth, Famed Mechanist" href="#" target="_blank">Cayth, Famed Mechanist</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> adds even more of it to the deck. Two mana and tapping could give you more counters, but it can also populate, which makes token copy of another one of your tokens.</div>
<div></div>
<div>As you've seen in this deck, we will have plenty of those laying around. On top of all of that, Cayth also gives your nontoken creatures Fabricate 1, which could sneak under your opponent's radar until your army of metal buddies is too much to handle.</div>
</div>
<h3 class="cardDetailsOverlay_title__6Xo0r ">Mutational Advantage</h3>
<div class="archidektDropdown_trigger__Wdtom " tabindex="0">
<div><div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Mutational Advantage"></div></div></div>
</div>
<p>Our next card is the most expensive one on the list, but you'll see why I felt the need to include it here today. <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Mutational Advantage" href="#" target="_blank">Mutational Advantage</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> protects anything on your board that has a counter on it with hexproof and indestructible, but it doesn't stop there.'</p>
<p>It also prevents any damage dealt to those permanents, and you proliferate. This can turn someone's attempted blowout into your successful blowout, and that's worth a few extra bucks if you ask me.</p>
<h3 class="cardDetailsOverlay_title__6Xo0r ">Wylie Duke, Atiin Hero</h3>
<div class="archidektDropdown_trigger__Wdtom " tabindex="0">
<div><div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Wylie Duke, Atiin Hero"></div></div></div>
</div>
<p>Now say you want to hit those twelve counters on the <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Infinite Guideline Station" href="#" target="_blank">Infinite Guideline Station</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> with good ol' fashioned hard work, well <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Wylie Duke, Atiin Hero" href="#" target="_blank">Wylie Duke, Atiin Hero</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> is here to pay you off for that. Whenever Wylie is tapped, you'll draw a card and gain one life.</p>
<p>Nothing too flashy here, just a big powered creature, adding value to your board in multiple ways... Do you think those <a href="https://edhrec.com/sets/otj"><em>Outlaws of Thunder Junction</em></a>'s heads would explode of they saw this big Spacecraft pull up to their plane? I wonder... Moving on with the list, sorry!</p>
<h3 class="cardDetailsOverlay_title__6Xo0r ">Rip, Spawn Hunter</h3>
<div class="archidektDropdown_trigger__Wdtom " tabindex="0">
<div><div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Rip, Spawn Hunter"></div></div></div>
</div>
<div></div>
<div>The <em>Survival </em>ability from <a href="https://edhrec.com/sets/dsk"><em>Duskmourn</em></a> is perfect for a deck like this, and <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Rip, Spawn Hunter" href="#" target="_blank">Rip, Spawn Hunter</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> being multicolored makes it an even better fit.</div>
<div></div>
<div>On your second main phase, you'll be able to pull one or more of the awesome creatures on this list from the top of your library if Rip is tapped.</div>
<div></div>
<div>At the base level, you'll get to look at four cards, however when paired with an anthem effect like the <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Knight of New Alara" href="#" target="_blank">Knight of New Alara</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> for example, you can be looking at even more of your deck on each of your turns.</div>
<div>
<h3 class="cardDetailsOverlay_title__6Xo0r ">Kiora's Follower</h3>
<div class="archidektDropdown_trigger__Wdtom " tabindex="0">
<div><div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Kiora&#039;s Follower"></div></div></div>
<div></div>
</div>
<div>While this might not be the flashiest card on the list, <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Kiora&#039;s Follower" href="#" target="_blank">Kiora&#039;s Follower</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> is an incredible value player in this deck. Not only does it provide some early game ramp by possibly untapping lands, but it can also be a way to untap one of your big creatures, to tap it again building towards that Station cost.</div>
<div></div>
<div>Once your commander is at full power, you could even untap it after you attack, and leave it up as a blocker. I've heard that a 7/15 flyer is pretty good at keeping your opponents at bay.</div>
</div>
<div></div>
<div>
<h3 class="cardDetailsOverlay_title__6Xo0r ">Sydri, Galvanic Genius</h3>
<div class="archidektDropdown_trigger__Wdtom " tabindex="0">
<div><div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Sydri, Galvanic Genius"></div></div></div>
<div></div>
<div>
<p>Closing out our list today, we have a way to get a little sneaky with this deck. Sure, Sydri's second ability makes your commander an even scarier attacker and blocker, however it's that first ability that put it on this list. One blue mana turns a noncreature artifact into a creature for the turn, with power and toughness equal to its mana value.</p>
<p>The <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Infinite Guideline Station" href="#" target="_blank">Infinite Guideline Station</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> specifically says that it <em>becomes</em> a creature at +12 charge counters, which means that you can turn it into a 5/5 at instant speed anytime you hold a blue mana up.</p>
<p>This little interaction can catch your opponents off guard if they think they have a lot more time before that station is mobile, giving you the element of surprise when it fires up, and heads into combat out of nowhere!</p>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<h2>In Closing</h2>
<p>So, there you have it, fourteen cards for under $14 that can get you started on a deck built around the <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Infinite Guideline Station" href="#" target="_blank">Infinite Guideline Station</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>.</p>

Building a Budget Infinite Guideline Station Deck

<h6 style="text-align: right;"><span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Armix, Filigree Thrasher" href="#" target="_blank">Armix, Filigree Thrasher</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> | art by <a href="https://darylart.com/">Daniel Ljunggren</a></h6>
<p>Partner is a mechanic in EDH that has been a little contentious over the years, but there's no denying the impact it has had on the format; for better or worse.</p>
<p>Even outside of the ultra-strong combinations running rampant in cEDH, "partners" allow for unparalleled creativity in deckbuilding, especially due to the 4-color avenues opened through combinations like <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Tymna the Weaver" href="#" target="_blank">Tymna the Weaver</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> and <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Kydele, Chosen of Kruphix" href="#" target="_blank">Kydele, Chosen of Kruphix</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>, or <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Ravos, Soultender" href="#" target="_blank">Ravos, Soultender</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> and <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Ludevic, Necro-Alchemist" href="#" target="_blank">Ludevic, Necro-Alchemist</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>.</p>
<p>In 2020, <em>Commander Legends</em> brought with it over 40 new legendary creatures with the "partner" ability; all of which were printed as mono-colored legends for the first time.</p>
<p>These new mono-colored legends expanded deckbuilding possibilities even more, and sheer amount of new options caused something unfortunate: severely underplayed combinations.</p>
<p>Now that we're a few years removed from <em>Commander Legends</em>, it feels appropriate to look back at the data and see what "partner" pairs need some love.</p>
<h3>Underrated/Under-loved Combo #1: Nadier, Agent of the Duskenel and Armix, Filigree Thrasher</h3>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Nadier, Agent of the Duskenel"></div><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Armix, Filigree Thrasher"></div></div>
<p>The first underrated pair that we are talking about explores "partners" in the monocolored space in an interesting way. According to EDHREC (at time of writing), there is <strong>only a single deck using this pair in the database!</strong></p>
<p>This statistic surprised me, as Nadier alone seems like a very strong commander for a specific reason: he triggers off of <strong>any tokens.</strong> With all the Clues, Food, and Treasures running around, this combination felt like a match made in heaven.</p>
<p>Armix acts as a repeatable piece of removal in the command zone, and these days it seems like running more removal in your EDH decks is necessary. Lately, cards that are getting printed are at least <em>good, </em>if not downright <em>great.</em></p>
<p>This "partner" pair immediately made me think of cards like <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Academy Manufactor" href="#" target="_blank">Academy Manufactor</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>, <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Rapacious Guest" href="#" target="_blank">Rapacious Guest</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>, <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Experimental Confectioner" href="#" target="_blank">Experimental Confectioner</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>, <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Hazel&#039;s Brewmaster" href="#" target="_blank">Hazel&#039;s Brewmaster</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>, and <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Nuka-Cola Vending Machine" href="#" target="_blank">Nuka-Cola Vending Machine</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>.</p>
<p>Building a "tchotchke" deck, as Rachel Weeks of the Command Zone puts it, seems like a really fun way to brew around this mono-black pair.</p>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Academy Manufactor"></div><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Rapacious Guest"></div><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Experimental Confectioner"></div></div>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Hazel&#039;s Brewmaster"></div><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Nuka-Cola Vending Machine"></div></div>
<p>Even if this partner pair isn't your style, <strong>only one</strong><strong> deck </strong>on EDHREC seems criminal.</p>
<h3>Underrated/Under-loved Combo #2: Ich-Tekik, Salvage Splicer and Malcolm, Keen-Eyed Navigator</h3>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Ich-Tekik, Salvage Splicer"></div><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Malcolm, Keen-Eyed Navigator"></div></div>
<p>Unlike our first underrated pair, these partners are shown a little more love, with 82 decks on EDHREC. Simic is a color combination that usually has a very specific play pattern: ramp, draw cards, repeat.</p>
<p>However, this partner pair allows players to challenge what is expected with Simic commanders by relying heavily on artifacts.</p>
<p>First things first, Ich-Tekik puts this deck firmly on a Golem-typal plan. With that, I envision loading this deck up with every possible "splicer" card in these colors.</p>
<p>This would be things like: <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Wing Splicer" href="#" target="_blank">Wing Splicer</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>, <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Maul Splicer" href="#" target="_blank">Maul Splicer</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>, <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Vital Splicer" href="#" target="_blank">Vital Splicer</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>, and <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Sandstorm Salvager" href="#" target="_blank">Sandstorm Salvager</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>.</p>
<p>Blue allows this deck to really shine as it provides the ability to flicker/blink these "splicer" effects to create more and more Golems.</p>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Wing Splicer"></div><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Maul Splicer"></div></div>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Vital Splicer"></div><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Sandstorm Salvager"></div></div>
<p>Malcolm is the "cherry on top", as his Treasure generation both ramps out our "splicer" effects <strong>and</strong> <strong>grows our Golems when we sacrifice them!</strong></p>
<p>And don't get me started on all the "token doubling" effects in these colors...I'm looking at <em>you</em>, <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Adrix and Nev, Twincasters" href="#" target="_blank">Adrix and Nev, Twincasters</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>!</p>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Adrix and Nev, Twincasters"></div></div>
<h3>Underrated/Under-loved Combo #3: Halana, Kessig Ranger and Silas Renn, Seeker Adept</h3>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Halana, Kessig Ranger"></div><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Silas Renn, Seeker Adept"></div></div>
<p>Our next combination expands a unique archetype into 3 colors. According to EDHREC, there are only 28 decks with these partners in the database. I could see a reason why: opponents probably find this deck very frustrating to play against.</p>
<p>Halana allows creatures entering to fight another creature on the board, and when every creature in our deck has deathtouch...you see the problem.</p>
<p>A "Deathtouch Typal" deck is something that many players have toyed with for awhile, and I firmly believe that this partner pair provides a terrific option.</p>
<p>Most cards that care about deathtouch as a mechanic exist in black and green, but adding blue allows you to play cards like <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Baleful Strix" href="#" target="_blank">Baleful Strix</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>, and the assortment of <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Bident of Thassa" href="#" target="_blank">Bident of Thassa</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>-esque cards for consistent card draw.</p>
<p>All-stars in this deck would be things like <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Hooded Blightfang" href="#" target="_blank">Hooded Blightfang</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>, <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Fynn, the Fangbearer" href="#" target="_blank">Fynn, the Fangbearer</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>, <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Aveline de Grandpré" href="#" target="_blank">Aveline de Grandpré</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>, and <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Ohran Frostfang" href="#" target="_blank">Ohran Frostfang</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>.</p>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Baleful Strix"></div><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Bident of Thassa"></div><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Hooded Blightfang"></div></div>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Fynn, the Fangbearer"></div><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Aveline de Grandpré"></div><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Ohran Frostfang"></div></div>
<p>While yes, this deck can be mean and remove our opponents' creature at will, it is also a unique way to explore an underrated, but fun, archetype.</p>
<h3>Underrated/Under-loved Combo #4: Miara, Thorn of the Glade and Thrasios, Triton Hero</h3>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Miara, Thorn of the Glade"></div><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Thrasios, Triton Hero"></div></div>
<p>According to EDHREC, there are only 99 decks in the database with this partner pair. Full disclosure, this partner pair is very personal to me, as I had a Sultai Elf-typal deck before <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Leovold, Emissary of Trest" href="#" target="_blank">Leovold, Emissary of Trest</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> was banned.</p>
<p>I had nearly given up on Sultai Elves until I saw Miara get revealed. Golgari Elves is a newly supported archetype thanks to <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Abomination of Llanowar" href="#" target="_blank">Abomination of Llanowar</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> and <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Lathril, Blade of the Elves" href="#" target="_blank">Lathril, Blade of the Elves</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>, so it seemed like the perfect time to return to this deck.</p>
<p>Yes, I know Thrasios is incredibly strong, but, in my opinion, he fit the theme more than <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Kydele, Chosen of Kruphix" href="#" target="_blank">Kydele, Chosen of Kruphix</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>.</p>
<p><em>The Lord of the Rings</em> commander precon led by <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Galadriel, Elven-Queen" href="#" target="_blank">Galadriel, Elven-Queen</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> provided a bunch of new goodies for this deck as well, as it focused heavily on an Elf-typal theme with a secondary focus on a "voting" theme.</p>
<p>Voting is one thing that I love in Commander, so I was beyond excited to add those cards to this list. Cards from this deck that are perfect includes are things like: <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Galadriel, Elven-Queen" href="#" target="_blank">Galadriel, Elven-Queen</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>, <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Elrond of the White Council" href="#" target="_blank">Elrond of the White Council</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>, <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Haldir, Lórien Lieutenant" href="#" target="_blank">Haldir, Lórien Lieutenant</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>, and <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Windswift Slice" href="#" target="_blank">Windswift Slice</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>.</p>
<p>If you aren't a fan of having a ton a creatures in play, this pair isn't for you, but let's be honest, who <em>doesn't </em>having a critical mass of creatures in play??</p>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Leovold, Emissary of Trest"></div><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Abomination of Llanowar"></div><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Lathril, Blade of the Elves"></div></div>

<h3>Underrated/Under-loved Combo #5: Ikra Shidiqi, the Usurper and Krark, the Thumbless</h3>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Ikra Shidiqi, the Usurper"></div><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Krark, the Thumbless"></div></div>
<p>Jund spellslinger? Why not? According to EDHREC, there are only 67 decks with this partner pair in the database, and with the pure chaos I've seen Krark bring to commander tables, this surprises me.</p>
<p>Krark plus green seems like it could be a crazy combination, as copying ramp spells could catapult us into a huge lead. Also, this partner pair benefits greatly from the <em>Final Fantasy</em> set's introduction of the 0/1 black Wizard creature tokens.</p>
<p>These tokens deal 1 damage to <strong>each opponent</strong> whenever we cast a noncreature spell, and that seems very strong with Krark in the command zone. (See things like <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Cornered by Black Mages" href="#" target="_blank">Cornered by Black Mages</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> or <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Circle of Power" href="#" target="_blank">Circle of Power</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>.)</p>
<p>Outside of these newer includes, I can see cards like <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Witherbloom Apprentice" href="#" target="_blank">Witherbloom Apprentice</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>, <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Manamorphose" href="#" target="_blank">Manamorphose</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>, <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Tavern Scoundrel" href="#" target="_blank">Tavern Scoundrel</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>, <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Sedgemoor Witch" href="#" target="_blank">Sedgemoor Witch</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>, and <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Wort, the Raidmother" href="#" target="_blank">Wort, the Raidmother</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> going absolutely insane in a deck like this.</p>
<p>Just think about it: what if Wort copied a <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Torment of Hailfire" href="#" target="_blank">Torment of Hailfire</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>? Absolutely gross.</p>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Cornered by Black Mages"></div><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Circle of Power"></div><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Witherbloom Apprentice"></div></div>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Manamorphose"></div><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Tavern Scoundrel"></div><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Sedgemoor Witch"></div></div>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Wort, the Raidmother"></div><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Torment of Hailfire"></div></div>
<p>I hope you enjoyed exploring some lesser-played partner pairs that deserve some love! Hopefully, this has inspired some of you, and if it has, happy brewing!</p>


5 Underplayed Commander Partner Pairings

Building a Jodah, the Unifier Deck Tech With Legendary Permanents

<h6 style="text-align: right;"><span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Smothering Tithe|P22|5" href="#" target="_blank">Smothering Tithe</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> | art by <a href="https://aurorefolny.com/">Aurore Folny</a></h6>
<p>In cEDH, mono-white is a color defined by support effects. Preventing your opponents from interacting and gaining gradual advantage: these are the strategies that carve out white's role in the format.</p>
<p>You won't find game-ending spells here; instead, you'll see the cards that help secure your window. So, what are white's five best cards? Let's take a look.</p>
<h2>#5 - <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Grand Abolisher" href="#" target="_blank">Grand Abolisher</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span></h2>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Grand Abolisher"></div></div>
<p>Kicking things off is white's most effective defensive card, and that's Grand Abolisher. For <span class="mana-container-container"><span class="mana-container"><i class="ms ms-cost ms-w" style="margin-left: inherit !important;"></i></span><span class="mana-container"><i class="ms ms-cost ms-w" style="margin-left: inherit !important;"></i></span></span>, this 2/2 Human Cleric brings with it an incredibly oppressive barrier to interaction:</p>
<p>"During your turn, your opponents can't cast spells or activate abilities of artifacts, creatures, or enchantments."</p>
<p>In a format defined by the likes of <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Rhystic Study" href="#" target="_blank">Rhystic Study</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> and <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Borne Upon a Wind" href="#" target="_blank">Borne Upon a Wind</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>, where card advantage piles up whenever interaction hits the stack and when no one moment is truly safe, Grand Abolisher stands alone as the most forceful window-creator in cEDH. The only reason it sits so low on our list, however, is that casting cost.</p>
<p>Outside of low color decks - decks which, aside from <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Kinnan, Bonder Prodigy" href="#" target="_blank">Kinnan, Bonder Prodigy</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>, are often among cEDH's worse - making two mana of a singular color is surprisingly difficult, especially when that mana isn't something you'd otherwise be stockpiling in order to cast a game ending spell.</p>
<p>Why put a plains into play when you could stockpile just about any other color of mana - colors with spells that easily win games?</p>
<p>Contemporary <em>Magic</em>'s answer to this has been <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Voice of Victory" href="#" target="_blank">Voice of Victory</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>: a Grand Abolisher look-a-like which forgoes the restriction on activated abilities in exchange for a much easier mana cost of just <span class="mana-container-container"><span class="mana-container"><i class="ms ms-cost ms-1" style="margin-left: inherit !important;"></i></span><span class="mana-container"><i class="ms ms-cost ms-w" style="margin-left: inherit !important;"></i></span></span> (among other small changes, like statline adjustments and Mobilize 2).</p>
<p>cEDH has certainly embraced this newer iteration, but usually as a second copy of Grand Abolisher, rather than a replacement.</p>
<h2>#4 - <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Smothering Tithe" href="#" target="_blank">Smothering Tithe</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span></h2>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Smothering Tithe"></div></div>
<p>Next up on our list is an incredibly backbreaking engine, dwarfed only in mana-production capacity by green's very own <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Seedborn Muse" href="#" target="_blank">Seedborn Muse</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>, and that card is Smothering Tithe.</p>
<p>For <span class="mana-container-container"><span class="mana-container"><i class="ms ms-cost ms-3" style="margin-left: inherit !important;"></i></span><span class="mana-container"><i class="ms ms-cost ms-w" style="margin-left: inherit !important;"></i></span></span>, Smothering Tithe answers just about all of your mana concerns for the rest of the game.</p>
<p>This enchantment has one potent triggered ability, which reads "Whenever an opponent draws a card, that player may pay <span class="mana-container-container"><span class="mana-container"><i class="ms ms-cost ms-2" style="margin-left: inherit !important;"></i></span></span>. If the player doesn't, you create a Treasure token."</p>
<p>As was demonstrated by Grand Abolisher's taxing <span class="mana-container-container"><span class="mana-container"><i class="ms ms-cost ms-w" style="margin-left: inherit !important;"></i></span><span class="mana-container"><i class="ms ms-cost ms-w" style="margin-left: inherit !important;"></i></span></span> mana cost, color fixing is a crucial consideration in cEDH's high-color piles, and Smothering Tithe's own minimally restrictive cost is one which has garnered plenty of support in the format.</p>
<p>There's nothing quite like suddenly having access to the critical third black mana necessary to cast a <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Necropotence" href="#" target="_blank">Necropotence</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>, for example, an a turn with Smothering Tithe will guarantee you get there.</p>
<h2>#3 - <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Silence" href="#" target="_blank">Silence</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span></h2>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Silence"></div></div>
<p>Coming in at third place is a classic of white's interaction suite - Silence, the inspiration for Grand Abolisher (and another card later on this list).</p>
<p>For just <span class="mana-container-container"><span class="mana-container"><i class="ms ms-cost ms-w" style="margin-left: inherit !important;"></i></span></span>, this instant prevents your opponents from casting spells until end of turn. As simple as it is effective, Silence benefits from both its accessible mana cost as well as its instant-speed nature to serve as a maximally flexible piece of interaction.</p>
<p>Unlike Grand Abolisher - which is purely supportive of your own schemes - Silence can put a stop to your opponents' plans, whenever they should chose to strike. Did an opposing <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Underworld Breach" href="#" target="_blank">Underworld Breach</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> hit the stack?</p>
<p>Follow it up with a Silence before it resolves, preventing the Breach player from following up and forcing them to watch as their Underworld Breach gets sacrificed at the end of their otherwise uneventful turn.</p>
<p>Trying to go for your own win but wary of interaction? Bate out the turn by starting things off with a main phase Silence.</p>
<h2>#2 - <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Ranger-Captain of Eos" href="#" target="_blank">Ranger-Captain of Eos</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span></h2>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Ranger-Captain of Eos"></div></div>
<p>Rounding out our interaction package is second place's Ranger-Captain of Eos, a surprisingly flexible tutor that also brings with it the interactive flexibility of Silence's instant-speed nature.</p>
<p>For <span class="mana-container-container"><span class="mana-container"><i class="ms ms-cost ms-1" style="margin-left: inherit !important;"></i></span><span class="mana-container"><i class="ms ms-cost ms-w" style="margin-left: inherit !important;"></i></span><span class="mana-container"><i class="ms ms-cost ms-w" style="margin-left: inherit !important;"></i></span></span>, Ranger-Captain of Eos is a 3/3 Human Soldier which allows you to tutor for a creature with mana value one or less when it enters, then put that card into your hand.</p>
<p>Additionally, you can sacrifice Ranger-Captain of Eos in order to prevent your opponents from casting noncreature spells until end of turn.</p>
<p>Three mana, two of which being white, is definitely a lot to ask for in cEDH. However, between the tutor ability - one which can hit some of the format's strongest creatures, as we'll see in the moment - and the flexibility to effectively resolve a nearly-uncounterable Silence at a moment's notice, Ranger-Captain of Eos certainly puts all that mana to work.</p>
<h2>#1 - <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Esper Sentinel" href="#" target="_blank">Esper Sentinel</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span></h2>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Esper Sentinel"></div></div>
<p>Alrighty folks, here we are, the strongest card in white. Drumroll, please, as we evaluate Ranger-Captain of Eos' very best friend, a white creature that costs just a single mana, Esper Sentinel.</p>
<p>For <span class="mana-container-container"><span class="mana-container"><i class="ms ms-cost ms-w" style="margin-left: inherit !important;"></i></span></span>, Esper Sentinel is cEDH's most initially-unassuming card advantage engine...until you play against it a handful of times. A 1/1 Human Soldier artifact creature, Esper Sentinel's only text reads, "Whenever an opponent casts their first noncreature spell each turn, draw a card unless that player pays <span class="mana-container-container"><span class="mana-container"><i class="ms ms-cost ms-x" style="margin-left: inherit !important;"></i></span></span>, where X is Esper Sentinel's power."</p>
<p>I can't remember the last time I saw an Esper Sentinel with a power greater than one, but as anyone who has ever played against Rhystic Study will tell you, a tax of just <span class="mana-container-container"><span class="mana-container"><i class="ms ms-cost ms-1" style="margin-left: inherit !important;"></i></span></span> is often substantial enough for players to steamroll full-speed ahead, ignoring their dues and letting the Rhystic player (or, in this case, the Esper Sentinel player) draw a ridiculous amount of cards.</p>
<p>Valuable at just about every point in the game, difficult to counter thanks to being a creature, and readily affordable from turn one onwards, Esper Sentinel continues to be a dominating force across any deck that can run it.</p>
<h2>Wrap Up</h2>
<p>White might not <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Mystic Remora" href="#" target="_blank">Mystic Remora</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>, or <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Seedborn Muse" href="#" target="_blank">Seedborn Muse</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>, or <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Force of Will" href="#" target="_blank">Force of Will</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>, but that doesn't mean it's without card draw, ramp, and interaction. In fact, many of the format's strongest decks rely on white to push them through the slog of the midgame and into a comfortable, protected, resource-fueled end state.</p>
<p>You might not die to a white spell the likes of <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Ad Nauseam" href="#" target="_blank">Ad Nauseam</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>, but the reason that Ad Nauseam resolved might very well be white.</p>

Best Edge of Eternities Spoilers From Monday, July 14th

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Hold onto your chili dogs, because it's about time to queue up! The <em>Sonic the Hedgehog</em> drops for <em>Secret Lair</em> are almost live. But collectors beware; you gotta queue fast if you want to snag them in time!</p>
<p>To reiterate <span style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">our <a href="https://edhrec.com/articles/secret-lair-x-sonic-three-new-drops-officially-announced" target="_blank" rel="noopener">previous coverage of these drops</a>, each one (except <em>Friends &amp; Foes</em>, which is $10 more across the board) has a retail price point of $29.99 for non-foil and $39.99 for</span> foil. The three drops are also going to be headed to your local game stores in August (presuming they're in good standing with the Wizards Play Network and have some allocated). For those daring enough to brave the queues of the <em>Secret Lair</em> webstore, you can find them at 9 AM Pacific Time. That's Noon for the East Coast of the US!</p>
<p><a href="https://secretlair.wizards.com/us">You'll be able to visit the webstore here.</a> Bear in mind that it may be down if you visit too early.</p>
<p>Notably, the <em>Secret Lair x Sonic: Friends &amp; Foes</em> drop only has mechanically unique cards in it and will most likely run out of stock first. After that, the <em>Turbo Gear</em> drop will probably sell out, followed by the <em>Chasing Adventure</em> drop. Foil printings will more than likely outsell nonfoil for each respective drop.</p>
<p>Are you excited for this <em>Secret Lair</em> drop? If so, what in the world are you still doing here? Go queue up!</p>
<p>Regardless, while you're waiting to check out properly, you can find a few of our deck techs on the legendary creatures from the <em>Sonic the Hedgehog</em> drops below.</p>
<p>Are you excited about these new cards? Are there any you want to make a Commander deck around? And do you think any of these new cards will stand out in Commander, cEDH, or even other Eternal formats? Sound off in the comments below! (However, if you're looking to get any of these <em>Secret Lair</em> drops, maybe wait until you've secured them, first!)</p>

Five Creature Types That Need More Support for Commander

<p style="text-align: right;"><span style="font-weight: 400;"><span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Eshki Dragonclaw" href="#" target="_blank">Eshki Dragonclaw</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">| </span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Art by </span><span style="font-weight: 400;"><a href="https://www.mynameistran.com/">Tran Nguyen</a></span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Hello and welcome back to an in-universe Commander deck tech! With <em>Final Fantasy's</em> release now in our rear view, and <em>Edge of Eternities</em>' release coming up quite quickly, I wanted to take a brief moment to look at a card from a recent set that I think could use some extra love. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">I'm a huge fan of <em>Tarkir: Dragonstorm</em>, and the Temur in particular, so I'm super excited to take another look at <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Eshki Dragonclaw" href="#" target="_blank">Eshki Dragonclaw</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>!</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Eshki Dragonclaw"></div></div></p>
<h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">What Does </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">Eshki</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> Do?</span></h2>
<p>Eshki's got a few keywords on her that make her an ideal leader for a Voltron deck. First, she's got defensive ability with vigilance, some evasion with trample, and even built-in protection with ward <span class="mana-container-container"><span class="mana-container"><i class="ms ms-cost ms-1" style="margin-left: inherit !important;"></i></span></span>.</p>
<p>And, at the beginning of combat on our turn, if we've cast both a creature spell and a noncreature spell, she rewards us with +1/+1 counters and card draw. That's a lot for just <span class="mana-container-container"><span class="mana-container"><i class="ms ms-cost ms-1" style="margin-left: inherit !important;"></i></span><span class="mana-container"><i class="ms ms-cost ms-g" style="margin-left: inherit !important;"></i></span><span class="mana-container"><i class="ms ms-cost ms-u" style="margin-left: inherit !important;"></i></span><span class="mana-container"><i class="ms ms-cost ms-r" style="margin-left: inherit !important;"></i></span></span>, meaning we can get our gameplan online pretty early.</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This commander is a fun design, and encourages us to fill our deck with similar amounts of creatures and noncreatures. An interesting push-and-pull, for sure. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This is reminiscent of several different commanders, notably the recently released <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Hraesvelgr of the First Brood" href="#" target="_blank">Hraesvelgr of the First Brood</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Both Eshki and Hraesvelgr have similar keywords, and provide some combat-relevant buff to a creature when we cast a noncreature spell. I'm also reminded of <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Krile Baldesion" href="#" target="_blank">Krile Baldesion</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>, whose abilities ask us to have high counts of creatures and noncreatures too.<br />
</span></p>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Hraesvelgr of the First Brood"></div><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Krile Baldesion"></div></div>
<p>So, Eshki asks us to cast noncreature spells (and fill out our 99 with a strong supporting cast of creatures). But, there's a few categories of noncreature spells that we've got to choose from.</p>
<p>While <span class="mana-container-container"><span class="mana-container"><i class="ms ms-cost ms-u" style="margin-left: inherit !important;"></i></span><span class="mana-container"><i class="ms ms-cost ms-r" style="margin-left: inherit !important;"></i></span></span>-centric decks may lean well into Spellslinger synergies with cards like <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Archmage of Runes" href="#" target="_blank">Archmage of Runes</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>, I want to take a slightly more unique approach.</p>
<p>We'll be making use of Auras to make a hybrid Enchantress-Voltron list centered around beating face with our commander! So, let's get right into it!</p>
<h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">Key Cards for Eshki</span></h2>
<p>There's a full 28 enchantments in this deck, so let's talk about a few of the best ones. My personal favorite is <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Hadana&#039;s Climb" href="#" target="_blank">Hadana&#039;s Climb</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>, which will usually flip into a super powerful land the same turn we cast it.</p>
<p>Its back side can either be a nice multicolor land OR a way to end games quickly, and that flexibility is super valuable here.</p>
<p>I also really like <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Spider Umbra" href="#" target="_blank">Spider Umbra</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> in this list. It does everything we want out of an Aura: it's as cheap as an Aura can be, it buffs our commander's blocking abilities, and even protects our commander from the removal our opponents will surely throw at it.</p>
<p>Rounding out the best Auras in this deck is <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Strong Back" href="#" target="_blank">Strong Back</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>. This card is a cheaper version of <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Auramancer&#039;s Guise" href="#" target="_blank">Auramancer&#039;s Guise</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> (which is also here) and reduces the casting cost of pretty much every other Aura we'll cast for the remainder of the game.</p>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Hadana&#039;s Climb"></div><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Spider Umbra"></div><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Strong Back"></div></div>
<p>There's a few more auras that work particularly well in this deck, so let's touch on those briefly. <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Shimmering Wings" href="#" target="_blank">Shimmering Wings</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> is a relatively innocuous card, but it can trigger our commander and other cards that care about us casting enchantment spells over and over again.</p>
<p>Because Eshki provides so much value when we can cast both a creature and a noncreature spell, it's great to always have a noncreature spell available with this Aura.</p>
<p><span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Whip Silk" href="#" target="_blank">Whip Silk</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> and <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Crown of Flames" href="#" target="_blank">Crown of Flames</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> do pretty much the same thing, but I didn't want to clog the deck's 99 with too many Auras without consequential on-board effects.</p>
<p><span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Bramble Familiar" href="#" target="_blank">Bramble Familiar</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> has the same effect on a creature, plus a super useful adventure, so it's found a spot in the deck too. <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Hydra&#039;s Growth" href="#" target="_blank">Hydra&#039;s Growth</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> works wonders with our commander too.</p>
<p>Because Eshki naturally gains +1/+1 counters, this card will typically provide huge power and toughness buffs after just a few turns on the board.</p>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Shimmering Wings"></div><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Bramble Familiar"></div><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Hydra&#039;s Growth"></div></div>
<p>Now, let's talk about the creatures that support our gameplan. First, <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Eutropia the Twice-Favored" href="#" target="_blank">Eutropia the Twice-Favored</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> provides extra evasion and +1/+1 counters to our commander, making her even more lethal.</p>
<p>Plus, Eutropia can distribute counters to other creatures we control if our commander happens to be out of commission. <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Goro-Goro, Disciple of Ryusei" href="#" target="_blank">Goro-Goro, Disciple of Ryusei</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> is a great haste outlet and mana sink, letting us get some quick attacks in with our commander and make 5/5 flying creatures if we've got extra mana.</p>
<p>Speaking of mana production, <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Fanatic of Rhonas" href="#" target="_blank">Fanatic of Rhonas</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> and <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Ilysian Caryatid" href="#" target="_blank">Ilysian Caryatid</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> both provide extra mana with our commander on the battlefield. They slot very nicely into our early game curve, and can accelerate us towards the mid/late game with ease.</p>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Eutropia the Twice-Favored"></div><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Goro-Goro, Disciple of Ryusei"></div><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Fanatic of Rhonas"></div></div>
<h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">How Does This Deck Win?</span></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This deck, as all good Voltron decks do, tries to hit our opponents hard and fast. By buffing our commander with auras like <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Colossification" href="#" target="_blank">Colossification</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> and creatrures like <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Nylea&#039;s Colossus" href="#" target="_blank">Nylea&#039;s Colossus</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>, we'll try to knock out our opponents in just a few combat steps.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;"> Eshki's card draw and self-buffing capabilities only accelerate that plan, and we'll usually end the game after a few big swings with a suited-up commander.</span></p>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Colossification"></div><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Nylea&#039;s Colossus"></div></div>
<p>But, Eshki's power makes her a prime target for our opponents' removal. We'll sometimes need other creatures to put our Auras onto, so cards like <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Callaphe, Beloved of the Sea" href="#" target="_blank">Callaphe, Beloved of the Sea</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>, <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Dragon&#039;s Rage Channeler" href="#" target="_blank">Dragon&#039;s Rage Channeler</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>, and <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Wildsear, Scouring Maw" href="#" target="_blank">Wildsear, Scouring Maw</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> can turn from role players to star players if need be.</p>
<p>Each of these cards can serve as a nice target for our Auras in the event of our commander's absence, and having them as an alternative makes it easier to recover from unfavorable positions in-game.</p>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Callaphe, Beloved of the Sea"></div><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Dragon&#039;s Rage Channeler"></div><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Wildsear, Scouring Maw"></div></div>

<h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">Conclusion and Alternative Build Paths</span></h2>
<p>That's all for this week, folks! Before you go, I wanted to talk a little bit about how I'd choose to build a Spellslinger version of this deck.</p>
<p>Our very own <a href="https://edhrec.com/articles/start-me-up-tarkir-dragonstorm">Bennie Smith wrote up a cool Adventure-centric Eshki list</a>, but I'd choose to go a little bit more all-in on the Voltron strategy again. Cards like <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Temur Battle Rage" href="#" target="_blank">Temur Battle Rage</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>, <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Invigorating Surge" href="#" target="_blank">Invigorating Surge</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>, and even <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Gift of the Viper" href="#" target="_blank">Gift of the Viper</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> would find a place for sure.</p>
<p>This deck would be focused on buffing our commander using combat tricks, taking out players with temporary bursts of power to our commander that they wouldn't see coming.</p>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Temur Battle Rage"></div><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Invigorating Surge"></div><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Gift of the Viper"></div></div>
<p>But now I want to hear from you! Would you rather play an Enchantress or spellsinger version of this deck? Let me know in the comments below, and I'll see you next week for an <em>Edge of Eternities </em>deck tech!</p>
