If you’re planning on making other tokens too, that’s fine, since I would recommend cards like Aven Wind Guide, Brudiclad, Telchor Engineer, and Intangible Virtue that will be augmenting our creature tokens.
Our general is not a combo by itself, but the activated ability (while not the same as Flying Crane Technique) feels an awful lot like it if enough of your tokens are already flying, or when pumped by something like Shared Animosity or Cathar’s Crusade. that may come in the form of goblin tokens through Pashalik Mons or drakes with Drake Haven.
If you don’t want to get into a thematic build I don’t think the type of creature tokens you’re creating are going to be as important as the fact that for this deck you want to be making creature tokens. When I was writing about Kykar, Wind’s Fury last summer, I would have loved to have had a co-pilot like Akim, the Soaring Wind around to help give the deck extra reach. The deck may be a bit of a glass cannon, even if it aims to play for the long game, but I think it’s fair to say that Gavi can be built in any number of ways, including dedicating an even higher ratio of the deck to cycling. Last week I covered the larger picture of what I would do with Gavi, Nest Warden. Copying spells is always fun, and the other creatures in the deck lend themselves to getting the ball rolling, and keeping it rolling. Arcane Maelstrom is a more splashy deck, built around big plays and swingy turns.Out of the box, it features a deck built around ‘maximal velocity’, with ways to slowly accelerate while building up your board. Symbiotic Swarm is the Abzan deck, and features general themes of recursion, enter-the-battlefield effects, and ‘value’ creatures.The deck itself is a tempo-control style deck that hopes to build up tokens and enjoy other benefits of playing reactively. The face-Commander does through cycling, and focuses on giving you more opportunities to pull this off on your turn. Timeless Wisdom is a Jeskai deck that centers around drawing and discarding cards.This week we’ll be looking at three of the decks to analyze what can be done with the twelve generals inside them:
This was a little bit easier to do in past years, as the deck count had been paired down to only four, but since this year’s decks are a return to the wedges we last saw in the first Commander product, I’m willing to let that slide. Commander 2020Įvery year I take a look at the new generals Wizards has created for the product and outline quickly what I would do if I were to build around each of them. While they don’t have the same sole-release impact I’ve grown accustomed to in the last few years, there is a lot to discover about the slew of new cards we’ve been delivered. This year’s decks were all built to pair well with the new Standard set, Ikoria: Lair of Behemoths. We’ve reached Commander 2020 previews a little early this year, and it’s been a welcome and exciting change. How do the decks feel, and where can he see them going? Today, he looks at Abzan, Temur, and Jeskai. The Timeless Wisdom deck lets you do something every MTG player loves: draw tons of cards! Create tokens when you draw extra cards with Gavi, Nest Warden strike twice with your army of tokens with Akim, the Soaring Wind or gain life and power up for a unexpected flying attack with Brallin, Skyshark Rider and Shabraz, the Skyshark.Today, Ryan assesses three decks from Commander 2020. Grow and develop your creatures’ powers to new heights with the Enhanced Evolution deck-bring your mutated monsters back from the dead with Otrimi, the Ever-Playful build an army of hydras with Zaxara, the Exemplary or gain life and strength as you take down your enemies with Cazur, Ruthless Stalker and Ukkima, Stalking Shadow. Turn the tide of any battle with the Arcane Maelstrom deck-copy spells with Kalamax the Stormsire draw cards when you do damage with Xyris the Writhing Storm or exile your opponents’ resources and cast them yourself with Haldan Avid Arcanist and Pako Arcane Retriever For Enhanced Evolution: The Symbiotic Swarm deck leverages your creatures’ many abilities-give your living creatures the abilities in your graveyard with Kathril Aspect Warper reanimate a swarm of small creatures with Tayam Luminous Enigma and draw cards when your buffed creatures leave the battlefield with Nikara Lair Scavenger and Yannik Scavenging Sentinel For Arcane Maelstrom:
On Magic the Gathering's Amazon page, they have hidden listings (at least I couldn't find them just by searching, I had to explore) for the Ikoria Commander decks For Symbiotic Swarm:
