Zach - Operations Manager for Magic: The Gathering
It only feels like days ago I was making this post for Reality Fracture. I have just brewed a Ruric Thar, Biomagus deck from Reality Fracture. Just waiting for the cards to get here, I can't wait to equip Wizard's Staff to him to get 6x Prowess triggers.
1. Lwaxana Troi, Charming Guest
Lwaxana makes another creature's triggered abilities trigger an extra time for as long as she stays tapped — and you can choose not to untap her, so the effect can last as long as you need it. Pair her with any creature that triggers on attacks, entering or dying and things get silly fast.
2. Hit It!
Giving all your creatures haste is great on its own, and it puts a land straight onto the battlefield when it enters, so it ramps you too. The rest of the top five go to the graveyard, which is a nice bonus if your deck gets value from there. Feels like it is probably better than Fires of Yavimaya.
3. Kira Nerys, Firebrand
A 4/3 trampler for three is already strong, but the real fun is that any creature entering while you're attacking comes in tapped and attacking and gets +1/+1 on the way in. When I saw this card I just thought about all the broken things I could do, creatures with flash, tokens from instants, Aether Vial. I think this is great design.
Kieran - Warehouse Manager
I have just brewed a Korvold, Fae-Cursed King deck focused around creating and sacrificing treasures, which has been a bunch of fun to play.
1. Stable Wormhole
Nice fun card that turns being aggressive into extra mana. Seems great to play early game.
2. Genesis Device
Fetches a land on entry, then you can sacrifice any number of lands and replace them with the same amount. Makes me want to build a landfall deck! Really cool card.
3. Quark, Humble Proprietor
A Treasure on each player's upkeep seems like something I want in my Korvold deck. The only caveat is that you can't sacrifice the Treasures while he's out. Easy: just sacrifice him once you've got the value out of him.
Ollie - Owner
I've just put together a Council of Reeds deck, and the whole plan is simple: make as many token copies of my commander as possible.
1. Peace in Our Time
I doubt you ever win in a playgroup with this more than once, but another wincon for my Whtz deck is always needed.
2. Georgiou, Terran Emperor
Seems like the most glass cannon build around in the command zone - I pay all my life then see if i can go aggro fast enough (or swap life with you) before you kill it.
3. Brazen Bluff
Counterspell but with added red chaos. I have atleast 4 decks I want this in.
