Flame Dragon Posted October 21, 2015 Report Share Posted October 21, 2015 My friend likes to hit the random button on gatherer and when he got the Magus of the Jar I told him about how this was banned before it even care out. When he went to look at it he saw it was legal in commander. So, why isn't this just nuts in commander? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flame Dragon Posted October 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2015 We still have other means of making fast mana. I mean, the base effect of draw 7, even if its only for a single turn, seems incredibly powerful for any deck to have access to. I'm not unhappy mind you, just amazed that when I was looking for more card draw for a bunch of decks I never thought to use this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flame Dragon Posted October 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2015 pretty nuts in nekusar nekusar sucks When my friend saw this was legal he was like, I should totally put this in Sharuum. And I was like, wow that seems totally nuts. Then I thought about it for a second and just say Neku and his eyes light up. We've been helping our other friend with his build and between his random button obsession and my constant looking through gatherer we've found a huge collection of cards for him.

(GigaDrillBreaker) Posted October 21, 2015 Report Share Posted October 21, 2015 I mean, it is 5 mana. That is a lot, considering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flame Dragon Posted October 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2015 I don't think its that much. I mean, you likely can't use it the turn you play it so it might get removed, but the same can be said of a lot of powerful cards. It could just be because I personally have a lot of decks that could use this or know of some that would like it. Sharuum, Freyalise, and Nekusar seem VERY good with this, Hanna isn't bad, and just in general Red and White don't have a lot of card draw and this aids in that for both those.

Poc Posted October 21, 2015 Report Share Posted October 21, 2015 You could stick this in pretty much any and every commander deck and it would be good. It's pretty close to a one sided draw 7 and any deck with fast mana can really abuse that. Plus its great to see the look on your opponents faces when they get a fresh hand then have to immediately discard it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trebuchet MS Posted October 21, 2015 Report Share Posted October 21, 2015 I was playing Neku and did Magus of the Jar and cloned it with Dack's Duplicate. Liliana's Caress was on the board. Things ended well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
