<p style="text-align: right;"><em><span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Kilo, Apogee Mind" href="#" target="_blank">Kilo, Apogee Mind</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> | Art by <a href="https://www.artstation.com/duongct" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Tuan Duong Chu</a></em></p>
<p>If you picked up the <a href="https://edhrec.com/articles/counter-intelligence-edge-of-eternities-precon-guide" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><em>Counter Intelligence</em> precon</a>, then I'm assuming you've already asked yourself an important question: "Which commander should I run at the helm of this deck?"</p>
<p>Well, if you chose <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Kilo, Apogee Mind" href="#" target="_blank">Kilo, Apogee Mind</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> then you probably got hit with another tough one, like "What cards should I add to the 99 to best support my new robotic friend?"</p>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Kilo, Apogee Mind"></div></div>
<p>That's where I come in! My name is <a href="https://linktr.ee/pillowfortmtg" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Tyler 'Savesya' Bucks</a>, and today I'm going over 14 cards for under $14 that you can pick up to get this deck more suited for Kilo in the command zone.</p>
<p>Be warned, because this new legend has already built up quite the reputation in the short time it's been on the scene, to avoid any unwarranted aggression that might come your way, here's an example for a Rule Zero speech you can give to the rest of the table before you start a new game.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em>"Hello, I'm going to play my upgraded Counter Intelligence precon with Kilo in the command zone. It does not go infinite. It does not have infect. Please do not kill me first, I just want to play with a silly little Robot..."</em></p>
<p>I hope that helps! Now, without further ado, here is my list of budget cards to highlight Kilo's best qualities. Plus, at the end of the list, I'll give my recommendations for what cards to cut in order to make room for these new additions.</p>
<h2>Counters</h2>
<h3>Recon Craft Theta</h3>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Recon Craft Theta"></div></div>
<p>Kicking off our list, we have a Vehicle that can help with tapping your commander, adds counters to the board, and even proliferates. <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Recon Craft Theta" href="#" target="_blank">Recon Craft Theta</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> is everything this upgraded deck is looking for and can come down perfectly on curve the turn after you cast Kilo.</p>
<h3>Reckoner Bankbuster</h3>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Reckoner Bankbuster"></div></div>
<p>Keeping with Vehicles, we have <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Reckoner Bankbuster" href="#" target="_blank">Reckoner Bankbuster</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>. This enters with three charge counters already on it and brings card draw, mana ramp, and creature tokens to the mix - all that as early as turn two.</p>
<h3>Voyager Glidecar</h3>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Voyager Glidecar"></div></div>
<p>Turn one plays are always coveted in Commander, and <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Voyager Glidecar" href="#" target="_blank">Voyager Glidecar</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> is an amazing one-drop in this upgraded deck. When it hits the board, you scry 1, which helps smooth out your second turn’s draw. Plus, it gets a counter with that tap ability, and we know Kilo loves to see that!</p>
<h3>Arcbound Shikari</h3>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Arcbound Shikari"></div></div>
<p>Modular is a strong effect in this type of deck, which made <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Arcbound Shikari" href="#" target="_blank">Arcbound Shikari</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> feel like an absolute all-star for this list. Hitting the board and giving out counters to all your artifact creatures means that you'll have plenty of targets to proliferate moving forward.</p>
<h3>Jhoira, Ageless Innovator</h3>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Jhoira, Ageless Innovator"></div></div>
<p>If you're wondering how you're going to cast all these artifacts, well that’s where <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Jhoira, Ageless Innovator" href="#" target="_blank">Jhoira, Ageless Innovator</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> comes in. Tapping her once will get you those two counters, which you can then grow more and more as the game goes on, which can make for some explosive late game plays.</p>
<h3>Four Knocks</h3>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Four Knocks"></div></div>
<p>Keeping your hand full in a deck like this will be important, which is why <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Four Knocks" href="#" target="_blank">Four Knocks</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> can be a sneakily good card in the 99. Usually, this enchantment will go away after only giving you a few draws, but when you can continually add time counters to it, you’ll be getting that extra draw at the start of your turn as long as you need.</p>
<h3>Lost in the Maze</h3>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Lost in the Maze"></div></div>
<p>Proliferating counters on your permanents is great, but what if you did it to your opponents' threats as well? <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Lost in the Maze" href="#" target="_blank">Lost in the Maze</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> comes down at flash speed and puts stun counters on your foes' best creatures. Plus, it also gives your tapped creatures hexproof, which your commander will be thankful for.</p>
<h2>Tapping &amp; Untapping</h2>
<p>Speaking of turning Kilo sideways, our next section is all about tapping and untapping your commander to ensure your main game plan is moving as smoothly as possible.</p>
<h3>Springleaf Drum</h3>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Springleaf Drum"></div></div>
<p>One of the cleanest ways to get Kilo tapped is with <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Springleaf Drum" href="#" target="_blank">Springleaf Drum</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>, which can come down early and add a bit more ramp to the deck. Tapping this and your commander to get a mana, and add counters to whatever you please, is the type of synergy that will keep this engine rolling.</p>
<h3>Teferi, Who Slows the Sunset</h3>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Teferi, Who Slows the Sunset"></div></div>
<p>Now, if you’re looking to untap your commander, then <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Teferi, Who Slows the Sunset" href="#" target="_blank">Teferi, Who Slows the Sunset</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> is what you need. His +1 ability is an absolute powerhouse for your game plan, untapping an artifact (like Kilo), another creature, and a land are all great. When you consider you can tap down your opponents' permanents as well, that's just added value.</p>
<h3>Survivors' Encampment</h3>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Survivors&#039; Encampment"></div></div>
<p>Including a way to tap your commander in your mana base is a great way to ensure you'll always have that proliferate effect at your disposal. <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Survivors&#039; Encampment" href="#" target="_blank">Survivors&#039; Encampment</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> comes into play untapped and makes you a colorless mana, which isn’t too bad in this artifact-heavy deck.</p>
<p>The real highlight here is that you can tap Kilo to make a mana of any color; which helps this land pull double duty for you.</p>
<h3>Manifold Key</h3>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Manifold Key"></div></div>
<p>Up next, we have the classic untapper, <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Manifold Key" href="#" target="_blank">Manifold Key</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>. Spending only one mana to get Kilo ready to tap all over again is a great rate. Plus, that ability to make a creature unblockable shouldn’t be overlooked, since you could use that in a pinch to push damage through.</p>
<h3>Belisarius Cawl</h3>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Belisarius Cawl"></div></div>
<p>Coming to us from the <em><a href="https://edhrec.com/sets/40k" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Warhammer</a></em> universe, <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Belisarius Cawl" href="#" target="_blank">Belisarius Cawl</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> adds some great additional effects when it taps your commander. First, you can make a creature token by tapping two artifacts, but it can also help draw you one of the best artifacts off the top of your library with its second ability.</p>
<h3>Weatherlight</h3>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Weatherlight"></div></div>
<p>A similar effect as our last entry is the iconic <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Weatherlight" href="#" target="_blank">Weatherlight</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>. Crew 3 means that Kilo is perfect for jumping behind this flying ship’s wheel. Then, when it hits one of your opponents, you can get a historic permanent into your hand.</p>
<p>This deck might have the possibility of spinning its wheels, so having a big flyer to punch through damage while fueling your engine is incredibly valuable.</p>
<h3>Unctus, Grand Metatect</h3>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Unctus, Grand Metatect"></div></div>
<p>Now, we’ve talked about a lot of ways to tap creatures in this deck, which means that <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Unctus, Grand Metatect" href="#" target="_blank">Unctus, Grand Metatect</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> will end up accruing you a whole lot of value as the game goes on. Drawing and then discarding whenever you tap your commander helps you sculpt your hand into exactly what you need, while also giving your artifact creatures a little buff in the process.</p>
<h2>Cards That Didn't Make the Cut</h2>
<p>Now, with any precon upgrade, some cuts have to be made. As you look over these cards, feel free to agree or disagree with some of my choices, because at the end of the day, this is your deck, and you get to make the call.</p>
<p>If some of these cards still speak to you, then feel free to keep them in the deck. After all, Commander is about self-expression.</p>

Budget Precon Upgrade Cards for Counter Intelligence

<h6 style="text-align: right;"><strong><span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Station Monitor" href="#" target="_blank">Station Monitor</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> | Art by <a href="https://www.artstation.com/camillealquier">Camille Alquier</a></strong></h6>
<p><em><a href="https://edhrec.com/sets/eoe">Edge of Eternities</a></em> is here and has already taken Commander by storm. This set is filled with so many powerful new rares and mythics that it might be easy to miss some of the great cards hidden in its bulk. I know when you're opening packs, skipping right to the last few singles gets the adrenaline rushing, but I'm here to shine a spotlight on the cards that often get skipped over on that journey.</p>
<p>My name is <a href="https://linktr.ee/thetylerbucks">Tyler 'Savesya' Bucks</a>, and I've returned with another addition of <em>Bulk Up</em>, where I show off amazing commons and uncommons from <em>Magic</em>'s latest sets. This time around I'm going to have to leave out my usual deck suggestion for each card since there're just too many spells to get to this week, so let's dive into these new spells from <em><a href="https://edhrec.com/sets/eoe">Edge of Eternities</a></em> before they slip into the void known as your bulk piles!</p>
<h3>Desculpting Blast</h3>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Desculpting Blast"></div></div>
<p>Kicking off our list today, we have a removal spell that I'm incredibly excited to include in a lot of my decks. <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Desculpting Blast" href="#" target="_blank">Desculpting Blast</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> is an instant-speed bounce spell for any nonland permanent on the board, but it also has a little bit of a twist: if it targets an attacking creature, you make a 1/1 flying token, which plenty of decks can take advantage of! A mini-<span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Aetherize" href="#" target="_blank">Aetherize</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> can make for some fun blow out moments in a game.</p>
<h3>Pull Through the Weft</h3>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Pull Through the Weft"></div></div>
<p>Up next, we have an absolute powerhouse in graveyard decks. For five mana, <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Pull Through the Weft" href="#" target="_blank">Pull Through the Weft</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> returns two nonland permanents from your bin to your hand, then puts two lands from your 'yard onto the battlefield tapped. Just when your opponents thought they set you back a few steps, you ramp and get some big threats right back into your hand. If your graveyard is big enough, this card could feel like a tutor in some cases, getting you back exactly what you need in that moment.</p>
<h3>Susurian Voidborn</h3>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Susurian Voidborn"></div></div>
<p>Now, as you read this next inclusion, you might ask yourself the question “don’t we have plenty of cards that are just like this?” However, <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Susurian Voidborn" href="#" target="_blank">Susurian Voidborn</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> comes with an extra wrinkle because of that warp cost. Sure, this Vampire is worth that full three-mana price tag, but since you can warp it for a single mana, you could bring this out just in time to cast a big board wipe. Also, don't overlook that this works with artifacts as well, making all your <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Treasure|TFIN|36" href="#" target="_blank">Treasure</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> tokens even better than before.</p>
<h3>Starfield Shepherd</h3>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Starfield Shepherd"></div></div>
<p>Let's highlight another creature with a warp cost: <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Starfield Shepherd" href="#" target="_blank">Starfield Shepherd</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>. Cards like this are always great to have around since they can offer you so many different options throughout the game. Not only does it find you a land or a creature with mana value 1 or less, but it can do it twice. Warping it early for only two mana can assist you when you’re in the set-up phases of the game; then, when you cast it later on, you'll get that value all over again on top of a great flying creature to assist you in the late game.</p>
<h3>Scour for Scrap</h3>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Scour for Scrap"></div></div>
<p>Keeping with tutors, for four mana <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Scour for Scrap" href="#" target="_blank">Scour for Scrap</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> finds you any artifact in your deck and/or returns an artifact from your graveyard to your hand. Both of these abilities are strong, but when you staple them together, it’s even crazier. In most artifact lists, this basically draws you the best card in your deck, and the strongest threat your opponents have answered that game, at instant speed, no less!</p>
<h3>Meltstrider Eulogist</h3>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Meltstrider Eulogist"></div></div>
<p>Our next creature is only really suited for +1/+1 counter decks, but it's a slam dunk for those lists. <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Meltstrider Eulogist" href="#" target="_blank">Meltstrider Eulogist</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> draws you a card whenever one of those buffed up creatures of yours dies, which is a powerful ability for only three mana. Plenty of decks out there add counters to their whole board or have creatures that naturally enter with them, so even if your opponent cuts down your team, you’ll continue to draw into more recruits for your ranks.</p>
<h3>Survey Mechan</h3>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Survey Mechan"></div></div>
<p>This next card is a headscratcher, so bear with me. <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Survey Mechan" href="#" target="_blank">Survey Mechan</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> is a 1/3 flyer with hexproof, which is all fine and good, but its final ability is why it's here today. For ten mana you basically get to cast <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Lightning Helix" href="#" target="_blank">Lightning Helix</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> and <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Ancestral Recall" href="#" target="_blank">Ancestral Recall</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>.</p>
<p>I know, that sounds like too high of a cost. However, the ability costs <span class="mana-container-container"><span class="mana-container"><i class="ms ms-cost ms-x" style="margin-left: inherit !important;"></i></span></span> less to activate for each differently named land you control, which means in decks with three or more colors that effect could be easily cut in half.</p>
<p>What do you think? Is that ability too costly, or would this be a great late game threat to have in your back pocket?</p>
<h2>Double-Spell Enhancer Cards</h2>
<p>There’s plenty of decks these days that naturally double spell during their games. As new cards continue to get better and cheaper to cast, it’s easier to chain spells together in a single turn. So, while these next three cards would of course be great in a deck built around <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="The Council of Four" href="#" target="_blank">The Council of Four</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>, they can also fit in the 99 of a lot of other commanders out there. While we look them over, think about your own decks and see if any of these spark inspiration for you.</p>
<h3><div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Station Monitor"></div></div></h3>
<p>Our first creature that pays you off for casting two spells a turn is <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Station Monitor" href="#" target="_blank">Station Monitor</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>. A cheap Azorius (<span class="mana-container-container"><span class="mana-container"><i class="ms ms-cost ms-w" style="margin-left: inherit !important;"></i></span></span><span class="mana-container-container"><span class="mana-container"><i class="ms ms-cost ms-u" style="margin-left: inherit !important;"></i></span></span>) Lizard that makes you a flying Drone that can only block other flyers when you double spell. This is a great rate for this effect, since you could cast this and another card immediately after to get a token right away. The fact that it only costs two mana makes this great early on since you can build up a board of flyers for simply moving forward with your gameplan.</p>
<h3><div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Sunstar Lightsmith"></div></div></h3>
<p>Next up we have a creature that fits perfectly into decks centered around counters: <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Sunstar Lightsmith" href="#" target="_blank">Sunstar Lightsmith</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>. When you cast your second spell, it grows with a +1/+1 counter and you draw a card. Not only does this assist with filling your hand, but it also feeds into any other synergies your deck might be built around. Long gone are the days of white not having card advantage, and this is just more proof of that.</p>
<h3><div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Uthros Psionicist"></div></div></h3>
<p>From card advantage to mana advantage, <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Uthros Psionicist" href="#" target="_blank">Uthros Psionicist</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> is here to make your second spell a lot cheaper. If you have a blue deck that tends to have a lower curve or is filled with cantrips, this Jellyfish can really come in handy for you. Turning an <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Opt" href="#" target="_blank">Opt</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> into a mana reduction for a bigger spell to follow it up with is already amazing, but when paired with cheap colorless cards, like an <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Arcane Signet" href="#" target="_blank">Arcane Signet</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> for example, you're getting into free spell territory.</p>
<h2>Lander Token Makers</h2>
<p>Closing out this edition of <em>Bulk Up</em>, we’re going to take a quick look at each common and uncommon way to make <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Lander" href="#" target="_blank">Lander</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> tokens that I think might be close enough to playable. Now, a lot of these aren’t the most efficient ways to ramp in Commander, but they do offer some interesting options for nongreen decks that prefer getting out more lands over just using mana rocks. Let’s take a look at each of these at light speed before wrapping up for the day!</p>
<h3><div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Sunstar Expansionist"></div></div></h3>
<p>Up first is a two-mana white creature that makes you a <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Lander" href="#" target="_blank">Lander</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> token when it enters if an opponent has more lands than you. <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Sunstar Expansionist" href="#" target="_blank">Sunstar Expansionist</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> is pretty solid, entering early enough to get your ramp train rolling, while also getting a power boost from that <em>Landfall</em> trigger.</p>
<h3><div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Scrounge for Eternity"></div></div></h3>
<p>Recursion and a <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Lander" href="#" target="_blank">Lander</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> token are just a few of the upsides that <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Scrounge for Eternity" href="#" target="_blank">Scrounge for Eternity</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> brings our way. I think this card is incredible, especially if your deck already has sacrifice synergies. Plus, that midgame ramp is just icing on the aristocratic cake.</p>
<h3><div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Terrapact Intimidator"></div></div></h3>
<p>This next card, <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Terrapact Intimidator" href="#" target="_blank">Terrapact Intimidator</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>, may require some politics to be playable. Here’s my advice: when you cast this on turn two, give an opponent a deal that they let you make two <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Lander" href="#" target="_blank">Lander</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> tokens, and you’ll attack any player they please with this Kavu for the rest of the game. Try that out and let me know how it goes!</p>
<h3><div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Divert Disaster"></div></div></h3>
<p>Speaking of politics, <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Divert Disaster" href="#" target="_blank">Divert Disaster</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> might put you on a player's list of enemies. If you wait until someone is casting a spell with at least two mana up, you can turn this would-be counter into a little tax on them and a <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Lander" href="#" target="_blank">Lander</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> token for you. Let’s hope you can dodge their aggression after that play so disaster doesn’t come your way…</p>
<h3><div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Beamsaw Prospector"></div></div></h3>
<p>Black decks love to sacrifice their creatures for value, so why not get some possible ramp out of the deal with <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Beamsaw Prospector" href="#" target="_blank">Beamsaw Prospector</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>? Two mana for an expendable body is a reasonable price and could get you that token very early in the game.</p>
<h3><div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Lithobraking"></div></div></h3>
<p>While this next card won’t be for every deck, an artifact-focused commander might love <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Lithobraking" href="#" target="_blank">Lithobraking</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>. Clearing the board of smaller creatures while making you that <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Lander" href="#" target="_blank">Lander</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> at instant speed isn’t too bad. Just make sure you have another trinket laying around to sacrifice, so you don’t lose out on the ramp this card brings.</p>
<h3><div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Dauntless Scrapbot"></div></div></h3>
<p>Everyone has heard this advice by now, but running graveyard hate is something more people should do. It just isn’t the most fun effect to add to a deck. Well, <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Dauntless Scrapbot" href="#" target="_blank">Dauntless Scrapbot</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> could push more of us to add this type of removal to our 99s, since it also brings that <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Lander" href="#" target="_blank">Lander</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> token along with it.</p>
<h3><div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Sami&#039;s Curiosity"></div></div></h3>
<p>Now, I didn’t add any other green cards to this section, since it’s already the color of land ramp. However, I did want to throw <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Sami&#039;s Curiosity" href="#" target="_blank">Sami&#039;s Curiosity</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> on the list since it only costs you one mana, gains you two life, and makes you a <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Lander" href="#" target="_blank">Lander</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>.</p>
<p>A lot of players have already made the comparison between these new tokens and the card <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Wayfarer&#039;s Bauble" href="#" target="_blank">Wayfarer&#039;s Bauble</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>. So, for the handful of green decks that still run that artifact in their lists, you now have another option to include that also gains you some life in the process.</p>

<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>

<p>Over the past few play seasons, <em>Magic: The Gathering</em> has offered players some really cool promotional cards. With the <em>Edge of Eternities</em> play season just past the horizon, Wizards of the Coast has continued this trend! On Wednesday, July 9th, Wizards revealed the play season promos for this new set. Let's take a look!</p>
<h2><em>Edge of Eternities</em> Commander Box League</h2>
<p>First off, Wizards is pushing their Commander Box League concept towards players. The promo for participating in this league event is a retro-frame, traditional foil copy of <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Palladium Myr" href="#" target="_blank">Palladium Myr</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> (image credit: Wizards of the Coast).</p>

<h2><em>Magic</em> Academy</h2>
<p>Players who buy an introductory <em>Magic</em> product between August 1st and September 18th will receive a promotional card for their foray into the game (while supplies last).

<p>According to Wizards, "Intro products include Starter Kits, the <i>Magic: The Gathering Foundations </i>Beginner Box or Starter Collection, and six or more Play Boosters from a set. That last one includes Bundles and Play Booster boxes." Furthermore, new players can also receive a sticker sheet themed after <em>Edge of Eternities</em> to give their deck boxes some added style points.</p>
<h2>Standard Showdown</h2>
<p>For the Standard Showdown event, players will receive a retro-frame, traditional foil copy of <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Monstrous Rage" href="#" target="_blank">Monstrous Rage</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>. Recently, <a href="https://edhrec.com/articles/ban-list-update-for-june-30th-2025-shakes-up-standard">Monstrous Rage caught the banhammer</a> in Standard. However, Wizards of the Coast has addressed the untimely nature of this promo by mentioning that it's still a usable card in Pioneer.</p>

Edge of Eternities Play Season Promos Officially Revealed

<h6 style="text-align: right;">Image credit: Wizards of the Coast</h6>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><em>Magic</em> Head Designer <strong>Mark Rosewater</strong> is no stranger to public relations. He's teased multiple sets for players ahead of the debut of their preview seasons in years past. This is normally done through <a href="https://markrosewater.tumblr.com/">his Tumblr account</a>, known as "Blogatog". On this social media account, Rosewater often answers important <em>Magic</em> design questions from curious players. On Tuesday, July 1st, Rosewater gave players <a href="https://markrosewater.tumblr.com/post/787882322917801984/maros-edge-of-eternities-teaser">a teaser for what to expect</a> in the next <em>Magic</em> set, <em>Edge of Eternities</em>.</p>
<h2>Mark Rosewater’s <em>Edge of Eternities</em> Teaser</h2>
<p>To directly quote Rosewater's post, here are a few notable abilities you can expect from the new set:</p>
<blockquote><p>• repeatable activated ability that lets you draw two cards and create a 2/2 creature token</p>
<p>• white card that can return noncreature, nonland cards from the graveyard to the battlefield</p>
<p>• another “Arch” charm</p>
<p>• card that makes you choose odd or even</p>
<p>• new artifact token called Munitions</p>
<p>• variant on devour</p>
<p>• card that lets you take control of an opponent</p>
<p>• legendary five-color artifact</p>
<p>• poison card</p>
<p>• card that grants an ability to Slivers</p></blockquote>
<p>After these, Rosewater showcased some rules text, albeit many likely only in part:</p>
<blockquote><p>• “Whenever you play a land or cast a spell, draw a card.”</p>
<p>• “If it’s not a creature, it becomes a 0/0 Robot artifact creature.”</p>
<p>• “You may play lands from your graveyard.”</p>
<p>• “you may instead create that many tokens that are copies of enchanted permanent.”</p>
<p>• “Artifact cards and red cards in your hand have”</p>
<p>• “put target creature from defending player’s graveyard onto the battlefield under your control tapped and attacking.”</p>
<p>• “The first spell each player casts during each of their turns may be cast without paying its mana cost.”</p>
<p>• “X is the number of differently named lands you control.”</p>
<p>• “Artifacts you control are Foods in addition to their other types”</p>
<p>• “Spells you cast have affinity for artifacts.”</p></blockquote>
<p>After that, Mark gave us a few creature typelines for <em>Edge of Eternities</em>:</p>
<blockquote><p>• Creature – Jellyfish Scientist</p>
<p>• Creature – Insect Artificer</p>
<p>• Creature – Plant Scorpion</p>
<p>• Creature – Drix Assassin</p>
<p>• Creature – Elemental Lhurgoyf</p>
<p>• Creature – Mite</p>
<p>• Artifact Creature – Robot Pangolin</p>
<p>• Legendary Creature – Kavu Scout</p>
<p>• Legendary Creature – Lobster Citizen</p>
<p>• Creature – Eldrazi</p></blockquote>
<p>Finally, Mark provided some names in the set:</p>
<blockquote><p>• Close Encounter</p>
<p>• Command Bridge</p>
<p>• Decode Transmissions</p>
<p>• Emergency Eject</p>
<p>• Invasive Maneuvers</p>
<p>• Lost in Space</p>
<p>• Nebula Dragon</p>
<p>• Space-Time Anomaly</p>
<p>• Systems Override</p>
<p>• Tractor Beam</p></blockquote>
<h2>Thoughts on the Teaser</h2>
<p>Overall, we're excited to see all the new cards! Players seem especially interested in what a Munitions token will do.</p>
<p>We are also quite intrigued about the (probably) attack trigger that puts a creature from the defending player's graveyard onto the battlefield tapped and attacking. Are there strings attached to that trigger?</p>
<p>Furthermore, it is very cool that we will be seeing a return of the Eldrazi in the set. However, we are fairly aware of the number crunch for colors in the set. Because colorless nonartifact cards come first in the set number order, we can anticipate only one Eldrazi, if not a <em>very</em> small handful more.</p>
<p>In addition, we also seriously cannot wait to see the Lobster Citizen legendary creature, and what it is capable of. Is it just a "silly little guy"? Could it be a menace in Constructed? We'll just have to wait and find out!</p>
<p>Finally, what in the world(s) could Nebula Dragon do? That name is amazing!</p>
<h2>Conclusion</h2>
<p>We're super excited for <em>Edge of Eternities</em> here at EDHREC. Are you? Let us know in the comments what teasers you're most hyped for!</p>
