![]() ![]() It's easier to remove than Gideon's intervention simply because it's a creature, but it also gives you a copy of your opponent's big threat, letting you use it against the table yourself. Holy clone staple reprint, Batman! Evil Twin has never been an expensive card, but the effect is excellent, basically acting as a Dimir Gideon's Intervention. If you can get your opponents hands to just a few cards, this can be a great way to permanently remove artifacts and enchantments in a color combination that ordinarily can't deal with those permanent types. Dinrova Horror is in great reanimation/flicker colors, so once you get it out, it shouldn't be hard to recur the effect multiple times. The cost might be a little steep at six mana, but stapling Recoil to a 4/4 body isn't bad by any means. Still, a fun, political commander for any play group. That is, if Gwafa leaves the battlefield, creatures with bribery counters can attack and block as usual. A quick rules refresher: Gwafa's bribery counter's don't work quite the same way as Obsidian Fireheart's blaze counters work. ![]() The master bargaineer is back, Gwafa Hazid, Profiteer will make your opponents an offer they can't refuse. Also, Charmseeker does have assist allowing an opponent to pay up to six of its generic mana cost but don't expect your opponents to pitch in unless you find yourself in an archenemy situation and you're getting the one spell back from a graveyard that can save the table. Now, the rate on Vampire Charmseeker is considerably worse than the Skaab, but the abundance of discard and reanimate effects in Dimir makes it relatively easy to cheat the high converted mana cost. Regrowing an instant, sorcery or creature in blue/black seems like an effect you would see a lot of, but the only other time we've seen this particular effect before was during Origins with Possessed Skaab, which isn't terribly playable since it exiles itself whenever it would die. He slots perfectly into the 99 of these decks, and, unlike most of his restrictive brethren, has no problem swinging in for tons of damage. Commanders like Gaddock Teeg, Sigarda, Host of Herons, Dragonlord Dromoka, and the new Shalai, Voice of Plenty tend to have a hatebears theme or package, and this card is a hatebear all growed up-a hatedirebear, if you will. Archon of Valor's ReachĪ 5/6 body with flying. vigilance and trample for six mana is already really good, but Archon of Valor's Reach takes it a step further, allowing you to name a non-creature card type, and lock all players out of being able to cast that card type. Even if you have to suck it up and discard a land or something, that's fine, you've just turned that card into two cards. Um.wow!? Your engine does require your attacker to connect, but in these colors you have access to menace, flying, deathtouch, skulk, and trample, which should make the-odds-of getting through pretty good. Being in black/red also helps you get added value out of the discard, you could reanimate the cards you discard, or flash them back, or eternalize them, or cast them for their aftermath cost, or.well, you get the idea. Azra OddsmakerĪzra Oddsmaker is an uncommon, three-mana card drawing engine for aggro decks. I hope you don't play in a meta with lots of token generation. This card looks like a fun board wipe, if a little complicated to resolve, as you have to factor every creature into the random selection - I already asked, no you can't pick a player at random and then pick one of their creatures. One random creature gets to stick around, and the rest bite it. But Last One Standing does something a little more unique than the other two. Bontu's Last Reckoning is probably the harshest downside of the three, while Slaughter the Strong's is the easiest to build around. We got Bontu's Last Reckoning in Hour of Devastation, Slaughter the Strong in Rivals of Ixalan, and now Last One Standing in Battlebond! Now at three mana they all come with some downside. Man, Wizards has been knocking it out of the park with these three-mana wraths lately. Let's jump right into the multicolor cards of Battlebond! Hot New Tech Last One Standing We've got sick reprints sweet new cards the return of partner, but with a twist friend or foe cards and more! Even if you aren't interested in playing Two-Headed Giant, the format Battlebond was designed for, you can't not be excited about the set. Battlebond is upon us, and Wizards has been kind. ![]()
