Omniscience_is_life

Deckling -

So. You finally made it to my page. What took you so long?

I'm a fairly committed player with about 6 years under my belt (Kaladesh was my first set--can you believe that was 6 years ago??), which is a hilariously large portion of my life. The game for me has always been about making decks around concepts that interest me, and trying desperately to make those concepts work.

These days, I play mostly Commander and Historic, but I pop into Modern whenever mill works there.

I've made almost 300 decks on TappedOut (plus 1.5 hundred on Moxfield), yet still only have 2 in paper... not sure what that says about me except that I love brewing.

I'm always happy to give advice on a deck (any format really, but don't expect amazing advice on Legacy or Vintage); feel free to give me a tap on my profile and I'll take a look ;)

These cards often transform into creatures that would be way too impactful were they to be able to attack upon transformation, especially in more restricted formats like limited and standard. The fact that you even get a body after the sagas pop is pretty nuts imo, summoning sickness feels like a pretty good balancing factor (especially with having tons of ways to expedite the chapters these days).

I think it's a good thing that the NEO sagas aren't just "do everything" cards--the fact that some of them see play anyway means they're probably in a pretty good place balance-wise, even with this restriction.

It also feels pretty thematic that they get exiled first; transformation that occurs on-field has always felt like a more physical change of a single entity rather than some manifestation of a story or whatever you want to imagine these as, to me.
