Played my first multi-player commander in a while yesterday. I was mana screwed, as I was playing Sidisi and got my first source of blue mana very late. Somehow I still got second place (in a 4-man game).

The problem is that it's an expensive GP in a very expensive city to travel to. Sad they couldn't have another in a more reasonable location.

Greaves prevents you from putting auras on narset. With no stoneforge or steelshapers gift you should probably just play a hammer of purphoros.
Slayers' stronghold also worth considering.

Beating Abzan players with main deck 4 Thoughtseizes on a mull to 5 with UB Vault...through decking without Ashioks...against a Sorin token...by one turn.

Salt doesn't even describe it. I could tell he was noticeably upset because he kept rearranging his lands, utter ending a vault when I had 5 mana up later on the game. Wish I wasn't in a rush this morning so I could taken a screenshot of the chat. He played 2 Thoughtseizes on the first 5 turns of the game...

Also the list is changing, been pretty impressed with the singleton Void Snare, mana efficiency during lands 4 through 6 is pretty interesting.

Yeah, I saw some decks playing singing bell strike as their early game interaction, I am still a fan of Bile Blight in UB, but increasingly less so.

even though i don't like bile blight, i think it is necessary to maindeck to just not to get ran over by any sort of 2 drop-3 drop curve out (& heroic & tokens). and it is only bad against abzan, so it isn't the worst.

I seem to have an irrational aversion to green. Haven't touched abzan temur or sultai yet. I just hate forests I guess.

I think your average semi-competitive magic player would rather sleeve up 60 islands than 60 cards with no islands.

It's not terrible, it's just not the best. The decline in aggro is pretty good for control decks.

Eh? Wouldn't say its terrible, I think you are underestimating turn 4 Digs after ripping apart the opponent's hand. I would say its pretty good in most match ups if you are tuned right. The meta is actually pretty tight right now which makes it better for control decks as for the first in a long time, I am not dancing around for solutions on opposite ends of the spectrum for different match ups.

Can I just say one thing? Semi-rant. I don't see it here, mostly standard talk, but TC and DTT DO NOT NEED A BAN. jesus christ everything on reddit right now is just "ban? ban? ban?"

the card is not format warping. it makes people adapt to the meta, which all the decks have. pod decks are still strong, BGx decks have adapted properly. TC is not format warping, nor is it ban worthy. it increases deck strengths for the UR delver decks, but it does not break them.

ok rant over.
