Commander Update Part 6: Now the good stuff cometh

Yes it's time for another commander update, bringing 6 cards to the table this time wait what 6 more, yes a new general, some new creatures, spells the works, let's get down to business with Damia, Sage of Stone

I don't bloody believe it this is a boss of a general, Deathtouch, skipping your draw step but it reloads your hand to 7 if you have less then 7, never worrying bout card draw again when she is on the field, did i mention she has deathtouch, oh yeah i did also a 4/4 is balanced but the mana cost is iffy that's the only thing i don't like, Gin-Jitxias, Core Augur costs 10 mana to summon but is mono blue, this is a green/blue/black variant with a mixture of the three basic color abilites, since we've seen deathtouch in Green and Black before and drawing cards is mostly a blue ability IE: Mind Spring, Divination, Ponder, the works but this case it's a decent ability and all and is sure to be a focus deck for EDH since most of the time this gives access to ramp, in both black and green, card draw and all that stuff, anyhoo onto some creatures, let's take a look see at Avatar of Slaughter.

Heavenly Inferno gets this beast of a card and wow, a 8/8 for 8 mana and it gives double strike and forces you to attack each turn, dude this thing is nuts EDH sure loves bombs and this is no exception to that rule i mean we have here a perfect balance of CMC, Power and Toughness with a ability that is mostly red, sometimes in white IE: Mirran Crusader, which is pretty recent for sets anyways but this is good i mean really good for a creature, sure sweeper spells are a dime a dozen in this format but you never know anymore with this kind of stuff, enough about this guy though let's take a look at a Hydra in the form of  Hydra Omnivore.

Oh crap looks like a Progenitus EDH deck is mostly possible now, this thing is a beast 8/8 for 6 mana, whenever it deals combat damage, it deals that much damage to all other opponents are you kidding me, grafting this and a Progenitus onto Mimeoplasm is good game right there, this guy is a beast of a card, your looking at 2 turns with this, it basically means game over, wow just wow wizards printed something like this for Commander really really this is good green has a reason to be feared again it seems, spells time onto a Vow known as Vow of Flight yay, note the sarcasm.

They seriously weren't kidding when they made this cycle of cards were they, 2 and a blue nets a aura that locks down a creature, gives it flying and a +2/+2 pump really, i'm not super excited about this particular card or the cycle of cards in any way shape or form, but i guess we are gonna end up seeing some crap in the commander decks one per color in each yay, moving onto another creature in the form of a elemental named Magmatic Force.

Well you can tell which deck this is going in, Mirror Mastery or perhaps Heavenly Inferno or both who knows with wizards these days but onto the card a 7/7 for 8 mana ok, i'm convinced it's a decent card but wait there is more, At the beginning of your upkeep Magmatic Force deals 3 damage to target creature or player, say what!. Free lightning bolts for everyone this is my new favorite red card it combines a personal favorite onto a body of a creature that is not Inferno Titan, which is sweet personally, i am a fan of cards that do a 2 for 1 effect and this is no joke seriously good for a card of this caliber, nice thinking wizards, last card of the day is a Enchantment, not a aura a physical field affecting enchantment named Stranglehold.

I knew it, wizards of the coast printed something like this to stop Lighthouse Chronologist and stuff like Emraukl, the Aeons Torn as well as Time Warp you sly dogs you, you sly dogs. This is a 4 CMC enchantment which prevents searching effects like Demonic Tutor, Mystical Tutor, hell even Diabolic Tutor which are like dominant in this format, for perhaps the only reason to prevent them from running amuck in a singleton format like this but still it's a lot of fun to see a card like this, it even prevents extra turns too, wow much this is a powerhouse of a enchantment and is perhaps the best enchantment of the set, excluding the auras. Well that's all for today's EDH update stay tuned for tommorow's will may have something nice in store perhaps the 3rd general of Mirror Mastery who knows, this is vergil signing off
