Magic: The Gathering Strixhaven Commander Deck – Silverquill Statement (Black-White) Minimal Packaging Version

Product Information

To play politics in edh, you generally run good cards that are flexible. Then, you can decide if you want to align yourself with any of player of choice. Plus people are completely overlooking the fact that Breena is a ridiculous engine for +1/+1 counters. Assuming each player triggering Breena on their turn in a 4-Player FFA game, that's six +1/+1 counters going on to your creatures each turn cycle, which is absolutely ridiculous. The precon doesn't have a lot of counter support -- only a handful of cards like Fain, the Broker, Felisa, Fang of Silverquill, and Elite Scaleguard -- but even so, giving your creatures an extra combined 6 power and toughness each turn cycle is a ton for a three mana commander! targeted removal; Stalking Leonin (kinda), Angel of Serenity, Fracture, Oblation, Utter End, Soul Snare (kinda)

Vainglories are Silverquill mages who use words to inspire or reproach, which can cause intense changes in their target's emotional state. [5] Eloquents, a highly sought-after position for Silverquill graduates, are the supreme arbiters of the cosmos and enforcers of all magical contracts on Arcavios. [6] Colors Dichotomy [ | ] I think Felisa should have benefited from tokens dying as well being a 3mc commander. I could be wrong but I can vouch for her being a choice for Silverquill as she can function in every part of the game unlike Breena. Maybe someone has found a way to make her fringe at least. Third, I am not considering any budget restrictions when making these recommendations. I only want to brainstorm as many fun ideas as possible. Unfortunately, this means that some of the cards I recommend might be outside of some people’s budget ranges. If they are available, I will also do my best to include budget options for a card or effect. Both the reprints and the new cards we’re getting this year seem to be more interesting than what we got in the last few sets of precons. Overall, I think this compensates for the increase in price.In short, feel free to include whatever removal spells you would like. This is simply my chance to get on a soap box to advocate for synergy over staples. Thank you for coming to my TedTalk. 5 Ways to Upgrade Silverquill Statement

Fortunately for us, the Silverquill archetype in the main set seems to be politics. This means that we’ve got a good handful of cards to include here:

Tumblr. board wipes; Magister of Worth, Deathbringer Regent, Promise of Loyalty, Tragic Arrogance, ( Gideon, Champion of Justice doesn't really count) Soul Shatter , Kaya’s Guile , Heliod’s Intervention , Vanquish the Horde , and Toxic Deluge will give you boatloads of card advantage when they sweep away whatever threats opponents throw at you. Blind Obedience isn’t exactly removal, but it slows down opposing forces and buys time with life gain. If two or more free draws per turn cycle seems great for a three-mana W/B commander, you’re right! Tymna the Weaver remains one of the strongest options in the color for a reason. Tying this powerful value engine to your opponents’ combat decisions isn’t enough to scupper that potential, but I suspect it will make Breena more polarizing — and this goes for all the other politics-based effects in the precon, too. Tempting contract is mediocre card. If no one is interested in getting the extra mana, it's useless. Also, if your opponent wants mana, he or she doesn't mind giving you a treasure token since they will just destroy everyone. So, this card could have been deleted and replaced with SMOTHERING TITHE.

Silverquill Statement

Bold Plagiarist grows big only but it doesn't feel like it matters compared to mana gorger hydra and Taurean mauler which is more flexible and scarier. I know they're in different colors but it doesn't seem like you want to play this card once you know how others are better inclusion. Will always benefit from being 1 cmc cheaper. Nils is a trap like combat calligrapher. Buffing others without a form of protection is never a good idea. Instead, invest on pillowfort cards with minimal effort. White has interesting effect but power level wise, it's still poor execution. There's some solid inclusions here, such as Knight of the White Orchid and thematic choices like Victory Chimes. I'm not sold on Tempting Contract like some others are -- it's entirely dependent on your opponents, so I guess hope for bad opponents? However, I don't like the over-reliance on land deficit ramp cards: Knight of the White Orchid, Boreas Charger, Scholarship Sponsor, all these cards can end up doing nothing for you by themselves, but cast one and each subsequent one you cast gets that much worse. Bladegriff Prototype is an interesting card, since each trigger seems beneficial for the table, while overall, the card heavily benefits you. It will often overstay its welcome and cause some damage.

Author of Shadows could have benefited from being 4 cmc card. I doubt he's broken as you're likely to cast 1 exiled spell in most games. Breena, the Demagogue Pillowfort Politics Breena, the Demagogue Pillowfort Politics Breena, the Demagogue Pillowfort Politics I heard good things about monarch cards (Court of Grace, Court of ambition.. For example) but I can't really evaluate the benefit as I'm still so newExplorers of the Deep" Precon Upgrade Guide | Merfolk +1/+1 Counters | Lost Caverns of Ixalan Commander, Nowthat we have the ratios in mind, let's take a look at the individual cards, highlighting the strongest and weakest in each category. Inkshield is such a trap card. 5 cmc that relies on your opponent going all in is suspect. Why not play teferi's protection which it does so much and it protects everything you have? Card Draw.Six cards simply isn't enough to keep up with a table. Having one of the better draw options always available in the command zone helps, but even what we've got isn't that great. Honestly after Breena I think Secret Rendezvous is the next best here, and I don't even rate that card super high. They're thematic, sure, but they're weak. This area needs the most work. The main Silverquill building is Grandloft Hall, a vast train-station-like space with shafts of light streaking in from the enchanted windowpanes far above. Grandloft is filled with balconies, loges, booths, daises, and other spaces where orators can perform their craft. Inklings flit around the high windowed ceiling, and enchanted spotlights automatically focus on any mage who's using powerful magic. [7]
