He needs to attack to do it, but you then draw cards equal to the power of the sacrificed creature, and lose life equal to its toughness. He comes with two effects which work together. To begin, he's a 5/5 menace for 5, which is a strong stat-block for any creature. But that's just scratching the surface of what Greven can do. One thing I can always appreciate is lore-based synergy, and the newest Greven combos neatly with Hatred, effectively doubling its effect.
But nothing is saying you can't add typical reanimation cards to his preferred playstyle. One issue is his playstyle may be a bit mana-intensive compared to old-fashioned reanimator. At his core, Chainer is a very simple but effective commander. On top of that, his ability to give creatures haste makes mass reanimation spells far more dangerous, since you won't need to have an additional haste outlet to go with it. Filth or, as the deck theme guides you to, madness cards). Later in the game, he's likely to turn cards you don't have a direct use for into useful cards from the graveyard, and that's not going into various synergies he may have with the cards you discard (e.g. Even at his minimum, Chainer can simply give creatures haste by discarding the creature and casting it from the graveyard. While his original version may be a better reanimator commander, this one is better suited for aggressive strategies. Chainer, Nightmare AdeptĬhainer got hot and is bringing a new kind of build with him. I expect to see lots of the new Falkenrath, which is more than I expected from a commander of a madness deck. Finally, being a relatively cheap Vampire, she may have a spot in Edgar Markov decks as well. If you include a few madness cards, you'll get some occasional bonus value out of her, but I wouldn't go all-in on them. For that job, they don't come much cheaper than Anje. Anje just profits off madness cards as a bonus.Ī 1/3 haste isn't impressive on its own, but you don't want Anje to attack anyway she's here to act as a draw-and-discard engine to fuel whatever it is you're really planning on doing. Madness's weakness will always hamper Anje Falkenrath, but they did make a good commander that works even without madness. And now that C19 is out? Sadly, that hasn't changed. There aren't a lot of madness cards around to begin with, let alone madness cards that are good in Commander. I was skeptical when Wizards announced madness as a theme for the decks. Rather, each bit will tell you how I personally feel about these cards, and whether I believe they're worth it in decks or not. I'm not going to assign numbers or other kinds of ratings to them, because I feel Commander, as a format, is too diverse for a specific number to stick.
In this article, I'm going to review every single card in these decks. Those who already own a large amount of decks will still find enough good new stuff in here to justify their purchase. All of this leads me to consider these decks as good pickups, especially for newer players. In addition, while there aren't any true big money reprints, the reprints we do have suit the themes and make sense. The builds appear to be far more coherent with their respective themes, and they should provide good starting points for players without forcing you to invest too much money to bring them on par with the average table.
Commander decks 2019 faceless menace review upgrade#
Today, I will review them all and hopefully give you some ideas to help use the new cards.Īs for the decks themselves and their contents, I consider them an upgrade over last year's products. Each deck also comes with both its own subthemes and cards that either support the theme in another way or are just intended as strong additions to the Commander format. This time around, rather than picking tribes or card types, Wizards of the Coast built decks based around keywords: morph, flashback, madness and populate. Coming tomorrow, stores will greet their customers with the new Commander 2019 decks.
