Commander Update Part 2: How the hell did this get in my EDH deck

Hello all you fine peoples of the internet and welcome back to the commander update, part 2 of this series of articles in basically a multi spoilerage of awesomeness, two cards on the agenda for today and one of them is featured in every deck, betcha can't guess which one hmm, let's take a look see.


First on the agenda today is the MTGcommander.net preview of Lightning Greaves which is super awesome and super fun to play, dude crap just got real in my EDH deck with this bad boy, shroud and haste are the name of the game when it comes to this and believe you me, this is a necessity for any EDH deck since it's a artifact and is basically fitting for any general build including a elf build, with a equip cost of 0 mana and a CMC of 2 mana to bring out, this is a bad boy card with some nasty trickery up it's sleeve, expect to see this in a lot of the precon decks i would think because of it's sheer awesomeness.

Onto the next one, wait this was spoiled by who the mothership site aka DailyMTG.com, are you kidding me, if you don't know what i am talking bout, today's arcana basically states a lot of awesome is going down and this next card i am featuring is in all 5 of the decks featured for this little revamp, let's take a look at the new art this card has received first.


It has begun, it's Sol Ring an EDH powerhouse of a accelerant and a limited list staple since all other decks can only use 1 of this card, this is a perfect fit into this format, since it's a singleton format, seriously new art, play a land, drop this, cast a greaves and pass basically just saying gimme the win, this is featured in all five commander decks, Devour for Power, Mirror Mastery, Counterpunch, Heavenly Inferno and Political Puppets though the current price of the card is still 20 bucks expect this to return to it's measly 10 dollar range thanks to this announcement making it that much easier for anyone to pick this one up, thanks wizards.

Anyhoo that's bout it for today, since these two announcements need to sink in to me at least and i will hopefully be able to get my hands on at least 2 of the decks in question, till next time this is vergil signing off.
