MDFC Sorcery in Strixhaven
Commander (EDH) forum

Hello all. Recently I have become aware that Wizards has created MDFC (modal double-faced card) that has one side as a sorcery: http://www.magicspoiler.com/mtg-spoiler/extus-oriq-overlord/. Since the front is a legendary creature, you can now essentially have a sorcery as your commander. Not only can you recast it over and over again, but it can cost only two mana if you have many creatures to sacrifice on the battlefield, and it has a somewhat powerful effect. This itself may not be a problem due to its medium power level, but I feel like it is violating Commander as a whole. (Commander being like the definition of commander.) here is the definition, "A person in authority, especially over a body of troops or a military operation." A person is not a spell. There is also another instance of this with Flamescroll Celebrant Flip . What are your thoughts on this?

In Nin you're limited to gamble and searching for Gamble lol.
Some commanders will abuse Kiln but I think other than Korvold, Kykar, and Birgi it wont be too over the top. Its like Treasonous Ogre , its amazing in the right circumstances but unworth for most decks

I was just to focused on the copy trigger to see that every instant and sorcery spell becomes a cantrip synergy
