Kiora_Fan-01 - I think that's the assumption that the 3 main Commanders will come with oversized foils.
November 5, 2014 9:29 p.m.
3 Main? Why not all 5? @JWiley129 Which ones won't have oversized foils?
November 5, 2014 9:34 p.m.
Will the decks be available Friday morning or Friday at midnight? I must know this so I can snatch them up before anybody else.
November 5, 2014 9:38 p.m.
Kiora_Fan-01 - Oh, each deck will have 3 oversized foils, like the C13 decks
November 5, 2014 9:43 p.m.
Do we get the tokens with the decks or do we have to buy em? I would love to have the Daretti, Scrap Savant emblem!
November 5, 2014 9:51 p.m.
Kiora_Fan-01 - If you read the articles on the wizards homepage, you'll know that each deck will come with the appropriate tokens/emblems :) Even the super cool Reef Worm tokens.
November 5, 2014 9:58 p.m.
Kiora_Fan-01: As it was already said, you will get the tokens but you only get one oversized foil, which is the planeswalker.

Eduardogbg and MarduGras - holy crap. i just read that Ob Nixillis story. You weren't kidding. "sacrifice 2 other creatures: Destroy an entire world." my dear sweet and fluffy lord.

Bellock86 do you have a source because i have looked everywhere and no one has mentioned how many oversized promos there will be.
November 6, 2014 1:31 a.m.
Sorry logansullivan. I got nothing there either. I was referencing the lore of Ob Nixillis found here
Dude is/was a badass in a very bad way.

Any idea when the site will add the new cards from Commander 14 to the database? I really want to start altering my precons.
November 6, 2014 2:21 p.m.
Most are already up. I've had my nahiri deck up for 5 days.
November 6, 2014 2:27 p.m.
Femme_Fatale says... #14
They will be finished later today. I'm on card 81, Emerald Medallion. I just fell asleep for 5 hours.
November 6, 2014 2:30 p.m.
Just picked up my Built from Scratch from my LGS. Excited excited excited~
November 6, 2014 4:25 p.m.
Jp3ngu1nb0y - ARE YOU A WIZARD?? Also, not fair bro.
November 6, 2014 4:50 p.m.
Dang it! I want the decks in my mailbox now! The wait is so frustrating. Why did you have to say that? It's taunting me.

So who else thinks that Feldon of the Third Path is going to get something banned? raises hand
Feldon + Thousand-Year Elixir in play with 7 mana. Bearer of the Heavens and Worldgorger Dragon in the grave.
"Animate" Worldgorger
respond to Worldgorger's ETB trigger with Elixir
respond to Worldgorger's ETB trigger with Feldon
"Animate" Bearer
Worldgorger's ETB trigger resolves
Wait for EoT
Sac Bearer first, blows up all, Worldgorger LTB and brings back all your stuff.
November 6, 2014 6:30 p.m.
That's a pretty specific combo, but I see what you mean!
November 6, 2014 6:32 p.m.
Ohthenoises says... #21
Wait, shit, wrote that in the wrong order. Whatever, y'all know what I mean. Hell, just Feldon + Bearer is bad enough
November 6, 2014 6:33 p.m.
Years later we finally find out who Feldon's Cane belongs too. and yeah, he's pretty intense.
November 6, 2014 6:34 p.m.
PaladinRyan says... #23
Well Feldon is actually a pretty significant figure in the lore of the Brothers War. So we actually already knew.
November 6, 2014 6:43 p.m.
So jealous. So on a scale from one to ten how awesome is it Jp3ngu1nb0y?
November 6, 2014 9:29 p.m.

Feldon is absolutely nutterbutters. Early early on had a combo of Feldon, Goblin Welder, Solemn Simulacrum, Wayfarer's Bauble, and Trading Post that fetched every basic out of my deck and drew me like 4 cards per turn. I kicked Everflowing Chalice 17 times. And this was before everyone stabilized. Get him before he's 40 bucks and/or banned.
November 6, 2014 9:44 p.m.
So i built my daretti deck on tapped out a few days ago, and I pre-ordered "built from scratch" already, but now I'm starting to wish wizards had released all multi colored commanders, because mono isn't nearly as powerful when you think about it, even if the walker-manders are really good.
November 6, 2014 10:43 p.m.
Femme_Fatale says... #28
Mono coloured commanders are fun. The cards can be used in every deck, they are easy to make, not such a large budget strain or difficulty curve, and will get more people into commander.
November 6, 2014 10:45 p.m.
I think they just want to add more variety in the commander product line. We've had tri-colors twice now, so mono-colored is a breath of fresh air.
Maybe next we'll get dual-colored or even quad-colored commanders.
November 6, 2014 10:57 p.m.
Femme_Fatale says... #30
Quad coloured x.x
Next it would be 5 coloured commanders.
November 6, 2014 10:58 p.m.
Ohthenoises says... #32
Wait, they did just release a statement that they found a way to "make colorless basic lands work so they might be able to print colorless commander products in the future"
Oh god....
November 6, 2014 11:27 p.m.
Femme_Fatale says... #33
Karn! Ulamog! Kozilek! uhh ...
More legendary eldrazi titan cards after return to zen!
... Perhaps Ugin? That makes 4. We would just need a weaker Emrakul that is EDH legal.
Also important to note: A lot of stuff happened so I wasn't able to do all the cards. I got halfway though!
November 7, 2014 6:51 a.m.
I'd like to see C15 or C16 as a 2 part product line intend of 5...
1x Colorless, and 1x 5-Color.
Of course that means less sales for them, but they could increase the value of the cards and increase the MSRP... besides wasn't one years Commander series just the Commanders Arsenal...? (Single Product line at $74.99 MSRP that sold from $150 to $200)
November 7, 2014 7:33 a.m.
@Femme_Fatale.... you missed It That Betrays (Though not 'Legendary, not not a possible Commander).
Some people at my LGS hate it more than Ulamog, the Infinite Gyre due to the board state advantage it can generate (Especially combined with addition 'sac' effects).
November 7, 2014 7:37 a.m.
I saw it for upwards of $300.
Not only that, commanders arsenal was a big flop with fans and Wizards apologized for it.
November 7, 2014 8:06 a.m.
sonicizslow says... #37
So it sounds like red is the best value. But would you say that all the decks are a good value?
November 7, 2014 8:12 a.m.
Commander VS. made a video using 4/5 of the decks. Obby looks pretty op.

Got to play with Built from Scratch (target guy said he didn't get a hard release date) last night and its pretty synergistic straight out of the box, my board state was bonkers pretty early on and I got hated on, but it was fun to see what it could do without improving it at all.
November 7, 2014 7:26 p.m.
That's what's so great about Commander mattskones. First youget to see how wizards intended the product to work then you can break it.
November 7, 2014 8:54 p.m.
I just goldfished my deck Daretti's Scrap Shop and HOLY COW is this deck synergistic. It's going to be really hard to make people NOT hate me when I play this deck...

I bought the White deck and my Kemba, Kha Regent deck got so much better. I needed a lot of cards out of it and I'm selling off the rest of the cards that I already had or didn't need. Nahiri's +2 basically just reads Choose One: Make a Baneslayer; or Draw two. Absolutely beautiful.
November 7, 2014 10:57 p.m.
At my LGS, W was more expensive than all the other ones, but R has better cards?Do you guys think it will change to reflect this?
November 8, 2014 6:25 a.m.
mattskones says... #44
CelineT I wouldn't pay over retail for any of them. theres a few shops in my area and all of them were charging 34.99 except one and that shop is generally known as the worst of all of them. support your local shop unless they are trying to gouge you, then go to target.

I went to my lgs yesterday to buy 1 of the c14, and as figured, they were out of the red ones. by 3:00 pm (they open at 1:30 pm), they had sold 11 of the decks, 10 of them being the red ones. I got the green one because I wanted the cards for my Azusa, Lost but Seeking deck, and when I ended up opening the cards, i was surprised of how many good cards there were! From the hype of the red decks, have people just been skimming over all the other decks? Half of the green deck nonland cards i was looking for, if only it had Craterhoof Behemoth...

PaladinRyan says... #46
I think Red stole a lot of the focus, White got a focus because of Containment Priest. Blue, Green, and Black have often been overlooked in many ways. ALL of them are solid. Red and White just have the best value but all are great and well designed. Black and Green seem to have an especially cohesive design out of the box. Red and White have some of the strongest potential for being built upon. Blue seems sort of... odd. Not bad but it will likely turn many off with its peculiar strategies.
November 8, 2014 4:03 p.m.
@mattskones - Only the specialised game stores sell the decks. I don't live in the USA.
November 8, 2014 6:34 p.m.
miracleHat says... #48
@PaladinRyan, I liked all of the decks, but felt a little disappointed with the blue deck. The deck has a lot of strong cards, but doesn't show off anything special or exciting. I am not the biggest fan of the new blue cards as well...
November 8, 2014 7:14 p.m.
Ya miracleHat. I too found the blue deck a little underwhelming. I was hoping for extra turns but instead it seems we got a lot of bounce which does have a sort of time travel theme but I think extra turns would have been more fitting and more powerful.
November 8, 2014 8:38 p.m.
miracleHat says... #50
@MarduGras, going on the extra turn theme, they really need to reprint the portal "take extra turn" cards.

When I buy the Mono Red I'm getting an enlarged darreti right???
