Hadriss, The Open Hand
Custom Cards forum

My first real custom commander, made on paper a long time ago.
Niko9: Thank you! A few things I'd like to mention:
Prowess is a big part of this card. The more noncreature spells you cast, the more cards you can potentially play with him.
Also, since his ability triggers on attack if you cast a noncreature spell, would that give him +1+1 before damage is dealt?
I also like the scrying, because it allows you to choose which cards you can potentially exile with him and cast for free.

Yep, the prowess trigger would give Hadriss another +1/+1 on cards casted from attacks. Prowess uses the stack and can be manipulated in a few fun ways : )
What if, and I don't mean to step on your toes, more just throw out ideas and have fun : ) but what if the attack ability had something like "you may cast any number of cards exiled with Hadriss with a mana value less than his power without paying their mana costs." That way it still functions like it does now, but also gives you the option to save cards exiled with Hadriss, and if he stays on the table, you might get an absolute bomb in late game EDH or something where Hadriss casts 3-4 spells from exile all at once. Or it could give you a turn to wait out counter magic to then cast two spells on your next attack.
I don't know, and again, I'm just thinking about things and throwing ideas out there. I think it's a really fun card, because right, who doesn't like attacking and playing spells?

Nice. Normally Jeskai cares about instant and sorcery, sometimes artifact. Your current design cares about all types of spells - which is a bend in what is traditionally Jeskai. But it's pretty nice, overall.
If you ask an admin to enable links for you, you'll be able to hyperlink your images.

TypicalTimmy: Do you know of any admins? How do I ask them? Thank you.
Niko9: No problem, that does sound pretty bomb. But would that be too overpowered, or just overpowered enough?

Looks super fun to me! Attacks, playing more cards, and getting an absolute bomb every now and then sounds like it will keep the game very active and exciting. Just kinda awesome : )
