What are the cards that you are excited to try from New Capenna (both the regular and the commander set)?
Personally, I haven't found much that I'm especially excited about, but there are still some cards that seem quite strong and I may try them out, or just get them for future decks.
The new Triomes (
Xander's Lounge etc.) are of course amazing, no real need to discuss them. They'll be auto-includes in any 3+ color deck.
Here's my personal list:
Professional Face-Breaker: I believe this to be the strongest card from the set. The ability to sac a treasure to (
impulse) draw a card feels incredibly pushed. I know it's a meme by now, but if you can do some stupid
Dockside Extortionist loop (and we all know how easy it is) you can then basically draw your deck using this. Also the first ability is reminiscent of the extremely strong
Grim Hireling, although less strong. More than worth it to have that crazy second ability imho.
An Offer you Can't Refuse: This seems like a very strong
counterspell, as discussed in this thread (
https://deckstats.net/forum/index.php/topic,65822.0.html). In casual EDH, giving out 2 treasures doesn't sound too bad to stop a game-winning play. May be a bit more sketchy in cEDH, where 2 more mana can mean a win.
Grand Crescendo: You can cast this for WW and it's basically an
Heroic Intervention, and if you have more mana to sink in it will also be a
Secure the Wastes. The flexibility on this one feels amazing.
Slip Out the Back: I like how this card can be used both as a cheap temporary removal and as a protection spell. I'll definitely include it in my voltron Tuvasa list, replacing Tamyo's Safekeeping (yeah, a card that came out with the previous set...)
Night Clubber: I feel like this card is being overlooked (also, the name is amazing
). I think there isn't any other 3-cmc creature that can also be a mini-board wipe. Seems especially strong in decks like Meren, which can easily
reanimate it to give your opponent's creature -2/-2. At that point, it's a mini
Massacre Wurm.
That's it, for the moment. There are other cards that feel quite strong, but I have no deck in which they would fit.
What are you excited for?
