![]() ![]() You can even get around waiting for your upkeep with a Time Warp, cast it right before your upkeep with Leyline of Anticipation, or make yourself immune to disruption while you wait with Teferi's Protection. With a bit of self-mill or tutors like Buried Alive snagging a card type soup cards like Walking Ballista / Dryad Arbor and any 5C permanent (like your commander), you should be able to check off those requirements in a hurry. This enchantment is generally harder to pull off as it has more requirements and requires that you wait a full turn cycle before winning so it's much more easily disrupted, but nonetheless it's not too crazy to win with this. I think the card is a bit too narrow for my tastes, and its effect is worse than Thalias and similar noncreature taxes, but being only a single mana to cast and an enchantment which is harder to remove makes this card super reliable at least.Ĭoalition Victory may be forever banned in Commander, but its spirit lives on in the latest 5C "you win the game" card, Happily Ever After. ![]() Any Creature-heavy deck, especially decks that already run noncreature hate like Thalia, Guardian of Thraben, may consider adding this card to their list if their playgroup is plagued by combo-y noncreature decks like Storm. And Switcheroo decks like Zedruu the Greathearted will have a fun time as well!ĭeafening Silence is a Rule of Law that only affects noncreature spells. Creature reanimate decks with lots of ETB triggers like Alesha, Who Smiles at Death will like it too. Also Charming Prince's blink can target any creature you own, not just the ones you currently control, so you can get back a creature stolen from you by Agent of Treachery or that you gave away with Puca's Mischief.Īny Blink deck, like Brago, King Eternal, should consider this. ![]() I can see him gaining a lot of value in a Brago, King Eternal deck or even Alesha, Who Smiles at Death, re-using any of your other creatures' sweet ETB triggers. Unless I'm mistaken, Charming Prince is the cheapest blink effect attached to a creature, which is seriously sweet if true. If you're looking for cheap ways to protect your planeswalkers, Archon of Absolution does an alright job, but if you're looking to just protect your own face then Windborn Muse or Ghostly Prison will be stronger deterrents. In an Enchantment deck, however, being a slightly worse Etheral Armor is not a terrible spot to be in, and if you're playing a deck that appreciates a big aura pump like Tuvasa the Sunlit then I can see All That Glitters doing serious work.Īlso I'm looking forward to seeing this card in foil!īaird, Steward of Argive is back, but this time he's not legendary, has protection from White, and flies! I consider Archon of Absolution a nice upgrade for most decks. There aren't many EDH decks that run a high concentration of both artifacts and enchantments, nor can I think of any Artifact deck that would want to be running this enchantment, though I can't help but grin at the thought of Breya, Etherium Shaper going full out Voltron because Breya lets you win any way you want. It's also decent for the dozens of Knight Tribal players still piloting Aryel, Knight of Windgrace or Sylvia Brightspear, I guess, but this is the first and last time I'll mention those brave souls in this article.įor one more mana your Ethereal Armor counts artifacts as well. It's basically a Commune with Dinosarus for Knights/Auras/Equipment, but you pay two extra mana for it to come with a 3/3 Knight body, which is merely okay, but it jumps from "okay" to "amazing" if your deck has ways to re-use its strong ETB trigger: cards like Eerie Interlude, Flameshadow Conjuring, or even a cheeky Leave // Chance can dramatically increase the Contender's value. If your Knight/Equipment Tribal deck is already running cards like Stoneforge Mystic and Relic Seeker then adding a Bounce/Blink subtheme becomes a very interesting option.Īcclaimed Contender is a strong candidate for any Syr Gwyn, Hero of Ashvale list, especially ones with the aforementioned Bounce/Blink subtheme. Let's get to it!Īcclaimed Contender is going to be a fine inclusion in any Knight Tribal with an Equipment/Aura subtheme. The full card list for Throne of Eldraine is out, which means it's time for the Commander Review! I will also be reviewing the new Brawl cards here as well. ![]()
