Chasm Skulker over Scute Mob to take advantage of that new draw effects since Hornet Nest effects do a lot for me. backup plan for presumed wipe when my field gets heavy. that islandwalk might be a game ender for certain opponents with islands, especially with any of my +1/+1 counter lands or Master Biomancer out

Keep Watch could net me a lot of cards. I can use it aggressively if I have a few lil beaters out. it in tandem with Arachnogenesis could create a 6 mana tempo swap that will be hard to come back from

Dissipation Field for sideboard against voltron or agro decks.

Chasm Skulker in over Fatespinner for duels, FS has been Sideboarded.

Skulker hits the field and terrifies the opponent, is easily abused through copy effects/draw effects. The tokens left in its wake are extremely fun, especially when Cryptolith Rite or Master Biomancer is out. I value Scute Mob over Fatespinner most of the time, since in duels the phase skipping doesn't really always aid my strategy. In multiplayer it has yet to be tested, but I presume it will fall a little flat as well.

Jin-Gitaxias, Core Augur dominates so hard!

Mindbreak Trap might be necessary to end counter wars in my favor

worst case scenario its a 4 cmc counterspell that exiles a spell

best case scenario: stops storm, can sneak in a free counter against draw heavy decks, more exile against grave heavy decks, hits uncounterable stuff as well

Scavenging Ooze is back in over Ulvenwald Tracker

UT was repeatedly a dead draw, even though situationally useful. Scooze can be played early game for a lowbie body as well, but has the propensity to grow. Late game it hits the board pretty big, but I mostly attribute this add to my gf's new Mazirek, Kraul Death Priest deck...

all in all id rather see a scooze than a UT when drawing a massive amount of cards.

Deadeye Navigator with Helm of Possession could be abusable

Freyalise, Llanowar's Fury up for consideration again, makes mana dorks, destroys multiple (ideally)enchants/artifacts, big draw if it lasts

Garruk, Primal Hunter big draw the turn it comes down usually, decent bodied dorks, devastating ult (though in 4 separate commander decks ive only ever seen him ult once)

Tamiyo, the Moon Sage yes, yes, a thousand times yes. Puca please send me one..its been 4 months.

Burnished Hart, Yavimaya Elder, Sakura-Tribe Elder

my mana feels fine for now, but if I require an additional mana fix its likely going to be one of these

maybe Turnabout

combat trick, ramp, stall...might do some work.

Wake Thrasher maybe lol

Mistcutter Hydra sounds perfect for sideboard against counterspell/control matchups

Sakashima the Impostor

versatile as hell, copies legends, has built in evasion/recursion, awesome art :P

Gemstone Array itdoesn't come up much...but if I cannot untap my lands/land destruct, allows for uninhibited play with my stockpile of colorless mana. enough to get my footing back, doesn't really help any other time though...

Cloudstone Curio might be a silly engine with flash creatures

Living Wish + Mystical Tutor/Muddle the Mixture gives me access to a myriad of SB creatures for specific scenarios if I choose to go that route.

matchup specific cards like Mistcutter Hydra, Bane of Progress, Kederekt Leviathan, etc. cards that would not be super awesome mainboard but still provide an extremely beneficial option pool

How have I never experienced a "wishlist" in commander, this is nuts.

Reality Shift might be more versatile than Rapid Hybridization, but both sounds better

July 7, 2016 9:48 a.m.

Bababad says... #24

Reality Shift over Rapid Hybridization for now because I can grab it with Muddle the Mixture

Neurok Stealthsuit cheap, efficient, instant speed attachment makes is extremely versatile, doesn't grant the haste that Lightning Greaves does, but feels like a more fun fit (I refuse to run booties in here because it just doesn't seem fair, fun, and in practice felt clunky)

This seems far less clunky and the instant aspect of it can allow me to fizzle a ton of spells
