The first card you foretell each turn costs {snow} to foretell.
Whenever you exile (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Exile) one or more cards from your hand and/or permanents from the battlefield, create a 1/1 white Spirit creature token with flying.

We have to speculate on what that ability / keyword does!
Feels like scrying, but maybe without the possibility to bottom?
Also the first card seems pretty neat for Soulherder (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=de&card=Soulherder).
-
Seeing as the commander focuses on exiling cards from hand, I'd say foretell is an alternate casting cost for certain cards, like spectacle. Not sure what the condition would be for using the alternate cost. Could be along the lines of: The foretold card is exiled into a "foretell" zone, spells in a player's "foretell" zone are cast on their upkeep.
That'd be my guess. Could be extremely powerful, but similar to Gavi, Nest Warden (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Gavi%2C+Nest+Warden), there is a small pool of cards that are extremely efficient with the ability since they must have a "foretell" casting cost.

Foretell sounds a lot like Forecast, from cards like Skyscribing (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Skyscribing). And judging by the rest of the text in that card, I think it has something to do with exiling cards in your hand. Maybe you can Foretell a card for a lesser mana cost to exile (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Exile) it, and then have it cast itself on your upkeep. Kinda like rebound (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Rebound) but without getting cast the first time.
-
Okay, so no one is going to be surprised by this, but I'm fucking pumped for Larhril.
I can't believe I'm saying this, but Ezuri just got beat out as my favorite elf combo deck.
-
I read in a speculative article they believe foretell would work similar to adventure except if you foretell a card it will get an extra effect.
Keep in mind that was pure speculative but to me that sounds plausible and honestly I think if it does it would be pretty cool.
My thought if this is the case is maybe you pay to do something small then cast the main spell with x reduced which x is equal to the foretell cost. Which would virtually allow you to "bank the mana" if you will.
-

(https://i.redd.it/x7rwsnro8w651.png)
But hear me out, Sly. They're different. We don't have to pick and choose. They win in completely different ways.
I'm excited because she feels super different and new. I'll probably build her intentionally more casually (no tutors, a lot more focused on her), and will aim to win by creating a bunch of tokens + her activated ability (Seedborn Muse (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Seedborn+Muse), as is customary, is disgusting).
I'm keeping both. I think Ezuri is still the "stronger" of the two, but I think she would probably be a lot more welcome and more "fair" in regular pods, which could give me nice options power level-wise when I want to play Elves specifically.
-
I don't think you understand. As far as my elfball list goes, Larhril wins in almost exactly the same way, WITH ACCESS TO BLACK TUTORS.
A win with Ezuri for me looks like: create an infinite untap loop, make infinite mana, cast Ezuri, pump, win.
A win with Larhril will look like: create an infinite untap loop, get 10 elves, have Larhril/cast hasty Larhril, win.
Now, I get access to black, I can win at instant speed assuming a flash (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Flash) outlet or enough elves to finish the table (tokens would help here), and I no longer rely on combat. Obviously, I'm going to need to do quite a bit of testing since I'm basically starting from nothing again, but I imagine this list is going to be very similar to Ezuri with a better tutor package, better removal, access to meaningful recursion, access to more draw effects, a less vulnerable win, and lesser reliance on luck of the draw.
Still probably too slow and too many parts for cEDH, but maybe not. This commander has me more excited than any I've seen since I first found Scion of the Ur-Dragon (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Scion+of+the+Ur-Dragon).
EDIT: Also, Shaman of the Pack (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Shaman+of+the+Pack) and a bounce effect is an equally good alternate win condition, again without reliance on combat.

I don't really want to look at your list yet (I want to make my list before looking at yours, but end of semester tests are currently smacking my ass like a bongo drum), but infinite untaps in Ezuri is usually in the form of a single creature, while killing the table with Larhril requires you to either have infinite untaps for your entire board or 30 other elves and infinite untaps for Larhril. Unless you don't intend for her to be your win. Since you have a load of tutors now, Ezuri could still be the win con, just from within the deck. That could be interesting.
Anyway, you let me know what your plans for your part of Ezuri's primer will be now that Larhril been spoiled. No rush, just lmk once you know.
-
What do you make of this new, freshly spoiled legend?
Magda, Brazen Outlaw (rare)
Legendary Creature - Dwarf Berserker - 1R
Other Dwarves you control get +1/+0.
Whenever a Dwarf you control becomes tapped, create a Treasure token.
Sacrifice five Treasures: Search your library for an artifact or Dragon card, put that card onto the battlefield, then shuffle your library.
(2/1)
So tribes are a huge part of Kaldheim, with Dwarves (boros) Angels (orzhov) Giants (izzet) Elves (Golgari) and Shapeshifters (simic) having new tribal support. Beyond that, I believe other tribes will get something, and I'm hopeful for something more for the Dragon tribe.
Vehicles are returning, and I also think that there will be class support as well (berserker, wizard, shaman, etc.)
-
I love tribal, so I love sets like this. Super pumped. Magda feels strong, but being mono red stinks.

Elven Ambush (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Ambush) is fantastic in both Ezuri and potentially Larhril, but Pyre of Heroes feels like WotC were afraid to print another Birthing Pod (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Birthing+Pod). It has to be exactly 1 CMC more, share a creature type, and can only be activated at sorcery speed. Canopy Tactician really has me disappointed. 4 mana for that effect is just meh to me. To spend 4 mana on a creature who's main purpose is to make mana, I want something like Karametra's Acolyte (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Karametra%27s+Acolyte), which has potential to make absurd amounts of mana.

Yup! And in my eyes, Llanowar Tribe (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Llanowar+Tribe) is barely playable. Barely. And an anthem effect doesn't really add much. I only like anthem effects when they come with other things. Elvish Champion (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Elvish+Champion) gives Forestwalk, which can be important for getting damage through, Elvish Archdruid (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Elvish+Archdruid) is this, but just better in almost all situations, and Imperious Perfect (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Imperious+Perfect) creates extremely valuable tokens at a fantastic rate. Also, all of these lords I just mentioned are 3 mana, not 4.
Elves already has access to a load of mana generators, so I just don't think that Canopy Tactician does anything special. Maybe in constructed formats, but I judge cards based on the Eternal card pool, and...eh. Maybe, I'm misjudging, but this is my gut reaction.
Realmwalker, though, Realmwalker. That's kinda sexy. 29 elves in Ezuri and 26 in Kumena. I think that's a slam-dunk in both (especially Kumena, as I can look at my top card, cast it if it's a Merfolk, draw it with a Kumena activation if it isn't, and repeat) :o. Feel to hit me with some stats, though, and explain why I may be wrong.

[...] but Pyre of Heroes (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=de&card=Pyre+of+Heroes) feels like WotC were afraid to print another Birthing Pod (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Birthing+Pod). It has to be exactly 1 CMC more, share a creature type, and can only be activated at sorcery speed.
I dont thin the Pyre is that bad. The CMC limitation is the same as the birthing pod (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=de&card=Birthing+Pod). Then it has limitations for both creature type and casting time, BUT it costs only 2 mana for playing and its colorless, therefore you can also use it in non-green decks.
So maybe usable in a Bx aristocrat themed deck with tribal synergies? Thats just the first thing popping up in my mind for this.
Magda, Brazen Outlaw gives me some hope that I can reassamble my Depala, Pilot Exemplar (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=de&card=Depala%2C+Pilot+Exemplar) deck on a higher powerlevel. The deck itself was fun, but both Dwarf and Vehicle tribal cards just allowed very casual builds.

-
I really like kaya's plus one ability and Halvar seems decent, not good enough to be your commander or anything but he could be good in the 99 (I think I like his sword of the realms side best though).
-
I am glad that they are printing more angels with lower CMC's, I have an angel deck and this is one of the things it was sorely lacking. (and just additional support in general for the tribe)
-
(and just additional support in general for the tribe)
To be honest, I think angels have had plenty of support over the years. One tribe that I am excited about getting support is giants. For comparison, there are over 30 legendary angels but only 15 legendary giants (most of which aren't even playable). Most of the current giants are either from Lorwyn or Theros and almost nowhere else. I'm hoping they will print another legendary one in Izzet this set, but we'll see.
-
So far, I love Larhril, I think Realmwalker and Elven Ambush (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Ambush) are potentially useful, but I agree that Canopy Tactician is bad. (Llanowar Tribe (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Llanowar+Tribe) is fantastic, though. Fight me.)
-
I am glad to see things being done with Giants. If more interesting stuff comes out that includes giants I may just keep my Giants tribal deck and get some upgrades because of it

In that case, look for Dwarfs.. only 9 legendaries (including the new one) and half of them you really dont want to touch anymore.
Like already said, I have some hopes that I will be able to reassemble my Depala deck, but it will depend much on how much support boros vehicles will effecively get in kaldheim.

Yeah, I am loving the alternate art cards. In particular, those borders are beautiful.

I'll second that. These new alt art borders are right up there with the look of the Kaladesh Inventions imo. Pretty much what I'd expect from a Norse themed set but it doesn't disappoint.

So, lining up the mythics for Kaldheim looks like this:
(most likely) 5 monocolored mdfc gods, the white one has been revealed.
??? Unknown
Cycle of 5 mythics with a new mechanic - unknown
the 4 planeswalkers (kaya, tyvar kell, niko aris, and Tibbles, the main antagonist) plus hopefully a new 4 colored legend that lasts a little longer than omnath

I had some time to think about Mark Rosewater's hints.
• A card with a {W}{W}{U}{U}{B}{B}{R}{R}{G}{G},{T} activation
Pretty sure this is just Door to Nothingness (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Door+to+Nothingness).
• a card that lets you use a creature’s toughness to perform an action normally using a creature’s power
This is either fighting with toughness, or just a Doran the Siege Tower (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Doran%2C+the+Siege+Tower) effect.
• the introduction of a creature type that players have been wanting for years
I have no idea what this could be. What new creature type have people wanted? Vikings? Platypus?

I have to assume this is actually a way to use Toughness to crew vehicles (or a specific vehicle) rather than Power...

Kithkins should be the Hobbits, I think imho. I expect future revealings of possible Angels or Dwarven lords.

A friend of mine sent me this. If it's a fake, it's one of the most convincing ones I've seen.
So I guess "Phyrexian" is the creature type players have been waiting for.

I saw this on Reddit, but there didn't seem to be a consensus as to whether it was legitimate or not. Did WotC confirm it was a fake or something?

HOLY SHIT, WE'RE BACK BOYS.
Kaldheim was already looking like my favorite set in a long time, but this seals it.

I don't really get the point (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=de&card=Get+the+Point) here.. If they do Errdata, I doubt that they will remove already given subtypes. They will just add "phyrexian" to a few more. I don't see how this should really affect your burn spells.

They're saying that adding Phyrexian will make creatures functionally different and comparing it to when WotC errata'd the way dealing damage to planeswalkers worked, effectively making players guess whether any given burn spell printed before the change can hit a planeswalker or not.

I forgot how annoying that is until you mentioned it. Thanks, I hate it.
In a similar vein, trying to explain that the original lords like Elvish Champion (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Elvish+Champion), Lord of Atlantis (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Lord+of+Atlantis), etc. have the creature type they buff but actually still don't buff themselves is kinda annoying.

Lords were a little weird back in the day. I also remember Goblin Rock Sled (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Goblin+Rock+Sled). It had creature type Rock Sled. So it did not get any of the goblin tribal bonuses.
-
The original Lords now specify "other" and Goblin Rock Sled (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Goblin+Rock+Sled) is now Goblin-type. The burn spells had to specify that they work on both Creatures and players. Back then it was probably much more difficult to work out.
On topic: at least one of the Mystery Booster "test cards" has type Phyrexian, and that is the same set that confirmed the replacement of Hound with Dog so precedent exists for that new Vorinclex to possibly be real; even more so considering the heavy counter support in this Standard. I'm not sure who's seen it but there's an obviously fake new Elesh Norn going around so that's complicating things.

Kinda broken

You missed the point. I play with a 4th edition Lord of Atlantis (https://scryfall.com/card/4ed/82/lord-of-atlantis) in my Kumena deck and having to explain that he is, in fact, a Merfolk that can be tapped for Kumena's abilities, benefits from other lord effects, etc. but, as a result, his actual oracle text is "Other Merfolk get +1/+1 and have islandwalk," not "All Merfolk get +1/+1 and have islandwalk," is annoying. Especially when I play against people I don't really know and they pull out their phone to check Scryfall and make sure I'm not messing with them.
Our point is: when they make functional errata, it's annoying for players with older versions of cards with the outdated text to have to relearn (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Relearn) what the card actually says, let alone use it in a game against other players who may think that what is printed on the card is what the card does.

Toski is spicy. Seems extremely good in EDH, just don't know what to do with him. Battle seems like a good card for token decks, and while Arni isn't necessarily exciting, we get to see the new mechanic.
Edit: Just saw that Soren attached the Squirrel in their post. My bad, didn't see it. I'll leave mine up, though, as it's easier to see and shows the alternate border.
-
Hmm.. Toski could be very interesting for a mono-G fun deck. Indestructible and card draw in the command zone.. very interesting for playing voltron. 4 mana for 1/1 feels kinda weak, but ramp shouldnt be a problem and for the power, there are tons of artifacts and auras to pump him up.

I'm expecting Toski to be mono-green Edric (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Edric%2C+Spymaster+of+Trest).

I'm a bit disappointed with Toski, Bearer of Secrets (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Toski%2C+Bearer+of+Secrets). A Coastal Piracy (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Coastal+Piracy) or a Bident of Thassa (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Bident+of+Thassa) on a stick, even an indestructible one, doesn't excite me. When I heard that Kaldheim had a legendary squirrel, I was really hoping the creature would be in Gruul colours.
I agree: he'll either head a mono-green variation of Edric or serve as redundancy in an Edric deck (probably a sub-optimal Edric on top of it). I don't even play Coastal Piracy (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Coastal+Piracy) or Bident of Thassa (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Bident+of+Thassa) in my Edric deck anymore. I feel the deck is fast enough and has enough counterspells to protect my commander so I ended up cutting those cards.
Edric's draw trigger is a political tool as well so a Toski variant will lose some depth at the kitchen table.
I don't see how Toski is going to be great in cEDH, but again, I don't play competitive so I'm perhaps not seeing something. Someone that plays cEDH could shed some light.

So I was kinda close with Foretell. You do cast it at a later time.

-
Those 2 cards just show how much powercreep has happened. Righteous Valkyrie is only 3 mana for a 2/4 with flying and 2 very relevant abilities. Battle Mammoth is a 6/5 trample that can be cast on turn 4 without any ramp, and it has its own extremely relevant ability.
I remember just a couple years ago, Carnage Tyrant (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Carnage+Tyrant) was one of the best creatures in Standard. What a world of difference.

Why are there so many mechanics in this set?
- Foretell
- MDFCs
- Sagas
- Gods
- Boast
- Runes
And that's excluding the tribes (I believe there are 5?).
This seems kinda crazy, ngl. 3 of the mechanics are even new, not returning mechanics.

Each mechanic seems to do a good job of capturing the essence of Viking culture and mythology so the set should be simply oozing flavor but I'll admit that it does seem like a lot to try and reconcile from a game design pov. I have to wonder (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Wonder) how much design space each can be afforded?

Seems crazy for Alesha.

The activated ability is more likely someting for standart/limited. But still it may serve as a mana sink and finisher from time to time. Besides that, I agree with you that he is already interesting enough for some decks to play him even without this activated ability.

Where did you get that, out of curiosity (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Curiosity)? I understand that cards like Hanweir Garrison (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Hanweir+Garrison) don't trigger it because they aren't going from not attacking -> attacking, but this is worded differently. A creature brought back (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Brought+Back) by Alesha is still in combat. It can still be untapped by Reconnaissance (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Reconnaissance), for example.
For reference, the reminder text of Varragoth:
(Activate this ability only if this creature attacked this turn and only once per turn)
Edit: This is one of Alesha's Gatherer rulings:
Although the creature you return is attacking, it was never declared as an attacking creature (for purposes of abilities that trigger whenever a creature attacks, for example).
This makes me definitely think that Alesha bringing back Varragoth would trigger Boast, as Varragoth has attacked.
-
To attack is to declare a creature as an attacker in the declare attackers step. Nothing more to it than that. Alesha doesn't declare anything as an attacker, they just enter the battlefield tapped and attacking.
EDIT: Maybe we'll get a definite ruling on that at some point but for now I'm pretty sure Varragoth hasn't attacked for the purposes of boast.
-

So if it is attacking, wouldn't it have attacked? Genuine question.

No, because it hasn't been declared as an attacker. It is an attacking creature but it hasn't attacked. This is unkown territory and I can see why you think otherwise so we might have to wait for a ruling to take place. I can ask on the judges channel (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Channel) once I get home, though.
[07/01 22:25;07] <Black_Eagle> hello! if alesha brings the new Varragoth, Bloodsky Sire from the grave tapped and attacking will i be able to use its "boast" ability to tutor a card? boast reminder text says: "Activate this ability only if this creature attacked this turn and only once each turn."
[07/01 22:25;22] <Black_Eagle> or is this unknown territory and we need to wait for a ruling?
[07/01 22:26;00] <Volo> Black_Eagle: I'd prefer waiting for the actual rules text of Boast, since reminder text is sometimes misleading.
[07/01 22:26;23] <@Natedogg2> Black_Eagle: No. It must be declared as an attacker for you to be able to use boast. Putting it onto the battlefield attacking will not count.
[07/01 22:26;25] <Volo> oh, nevermind, mechanics article clearly answers it
[07/01 22:26;30] <Staunch> > Unfortunately, this means a creature entering the battlefield attacking won't allow it to boast . . . but if it is worthy enough, it will survive to attack in a future combat, and then you can sing of its deeds!
[07/01 22:26;38] <Staunch> yeah, from the mechanics article ^
This pretty much sums it up. From the mechanics article we'd apparently find out that it indeed must be declared as an attacker. This also rules out Sneak Attack (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Sneak+Attack). No, it won't.
-
Wait, why wouldn't Sneak Attack (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Sneak+Attack) work? You could put it down before combat and declare an attack on the same turn.
-
Yeah, it wouldn't work. It's the same for other cards that check if a creature has attacked.
https://www.mtgassist.com/cards/Magic-Origins/Kytheon-Hero-of-Akros/rulings/
The 13th ruling on this page says that creatures that enter attacking haven't "attacked" that turn.

IMO, the wording is confusing.

Hmmph.

The wording is confusing, but the operative element is whether a given creature ever "declared" an attack. Regardless of any other effects, the game counts creatures that have declared attacks as having attacked, even though other creatures might have entered the battlefield already attacking.
This is what happens with 30 year old games. The rules change so much over the years that they lose the benefit of being intuitive.

Wizards finally acknowledged that Tibalt is a god. He got a DFC card, with one side being the black DFC god and the other being a 7 cmc tibalt.
"You thought it was Valki, God of Lies, but it was me, Tibalt!"
There is a cycle of 5 mythics with the foretell mechanic, and they will have special showcase versions.
Plenty of other exciting things, including Alrund, God of the Cosmos // Hakka, Whispering Raven, which is pretty much STorm CRow (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Storm+Crow) as a commander. Snow stuff looks interesting, and as previously mentioned, the Boast mechanic looks promising.

Since Sneak Attack (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=de&card=Sneak+Attack) just lets you cheat any creature on the battlefield with haste. you can of course simply do that in your first main phase and then regulary declare him as attacker.

Reflections of Littjara is also cool for Kumena potentially. I don't think he's the best abuser of it, but it might be good?
-
Hmmmm..... lets think about what tribe Reflections of Littjara would fit into best. Dragons and SLivers, being two of the strongest WUBRG tribes, would love this card, but I think a Wizards tribal deck based on etbs would be interesting. I guess any degenerate wall tribal deck with Arcades, the Strategist (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Arcades%2C+the+Strategist) could also find some use, and if anyone runs a Gisa and Geralf (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Gisa+and+Geralf), Stitcher Geralf (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Stitcher+Geralf), or The Scarab God (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=The+Scarab+God) zombie tribal, it might be nice. I really don't know because playing with only one tribe always seems...limiting. (Except for dragon tribal, it's kind of appealing to play lots of flying death lizards.)

Tyvar Kell 2GG
Legendary Planeswalker - Tyvar
Elves you control have [Tap] : add
+1 Put a +1/+1 counter on up to one target elf. Untap it. It gains deathtouch until end of turn.
0 Create a 1/1 green Elf Warrior creature token
-6 You get an emblem with, "Whenever you cast an Elf spell, it gains haste until end of turn and you draw two cards."
Starting Loyalty: 3
His passive makes your elves into Elves of Deep Shadow (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Elves+of+Deep+Shadow), any GOLGARI elfball player will find a way to abuse his ult. So Lathril may become one of the best elfball comanders available due to this guy.
-
I saw Tyvar Kell and was immediately disappointed because he has a Golgari color identity.
Then, I see the 3 other abilities and get even sadder.
+1 Untap a big dork: Extremely good ability on an Elf-themed planeswalker. I don't even care about the +1/+1 or deathtouch. The untap is all I need.
0: Make a token: Solid ability if there's not anything to untap yet, powers up future big dorks.
-6: ... ... Let's be real here. In an Elf deck, this is very close to "Create an emblem with 'Win the game'". Literally took 2 of the biggest weaknesses of elves (not being able to swing on the turn they are played & running out of cards) and removed them. What's even sadder is Ezuri would have been perfect for him, as it's really easy to protect a planeswalker by chumping and regenerating your blocking elves.
The potential...
-
Wow, they really want Lathril to be better than Ezuri, huh? Good thing we don't have Leovold or you could run both Ezuris AND Lathril in the same Deck (not that anyone would use Leovold for that, LOL).
-
I forsee the Elven Empire precon will be much stronger and much more desirable than the spirit/foretell deck. Lathril seems pushed, but she seems similar to Anowon in power and popularity. Ezuri is still good, but wizards should give mono-green elfball some love too.

I agree with both of your points. I certainly hope we see better stuff for the Spirit precon because Spirits have always been $#!+ and I don't want yet another wave of support that is ALSO $#!+ for no reason.

I intend to make a bigger post about this in the future, but I honestly still like Ezuri more than Lathril. This might change, as there is still plenty of slots for good black-based elves that push Lathril over the edge, but idk. I just like Ezuri more than her, playstyle-wise.

As long as you control six or more lands, lands you control have [Tap] Add one mana of any color.
WWUUBBRRGG [Tap] Sacrifice The World Tree: Search you library for any number of God cards, put them onto the battlefield tapped, then shuffle your library.
Yep, God Tribal is definitely gonna be a thing in Brawl and/or Commander. The Golgari Serpent seems OK but a bit specific.

This set is really feeling like a Commander set (mainly looking at the 5 color God & The World Tree), and I'm not a fan.
I just wish they would stop making Standard sets with Commander in mind. One of my favorite things is taking cards designed for Constructed formats and using them to build decks that do well in EDH.
By the way, for anyone confused, Koma's mana cost is 3GGUU, not 3GGBB. It is a Simic card. Kinda wish it was Bant or Selesnya at least, but oh well. Still strong, at least for EDH, as it triggers on each upkeep.

I almost wrote Simic and then corrected myself. Those top two cards are absolutely Commander specific; I've NEVER SEEN a more blatant tribal Commander OR Land in my life.
EDIT: The Serpent absolutely should have been Selesnya (or at least not Simic, AGAIN)...for at LEAST the last three or four sets in a row a Simic card was outright the best, to the extent that one has been banned for every non-Simic ban in YEARS.
-
Koma doesn't feel like Uro, oko, or something like Kinnan. It feels strangely unique, like it has a new niche. Rapid token generation isn't amazing in Standard or Historic, but I think that this could be a beast in Commander.

WoTC: You know what's better than It That Betrays (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=It+That+Betrays)? An It That Betrays (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=It+That+Betrays) that costs 7 less mana, can be your commander, and works off of discard spells too (because Dark Deal (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Dark+Deal) definitely isn't a thing). Boom.
Your average EDH player just trying to have some fun: ...
Ok but real talk, why does that exist at 5 mana? Black is the absolute king of discard and edict effects. I'm not crazy right? That's insanely undercosted.
What do we think of Saw it Coming? I'm a pretty big fan of it at first take. There aren't a whole lot of dirt cheap counterspells that are actually playable, and I think this could join the ranks (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Join+the+Ranks).
Search for Glory (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Glory) also seems like a cool tutor for white, which is nice.
I wonder (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Wonder) why Ravenform can exile (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Exile) artifacts permanently. I get that part of blue's color pie is Polymorph (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Polymorph) effects, which then turned into Pongify (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Pongify)/Rapid Hybridization (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Rapid+Hybridization)/Reality Shift (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Reality+Shift), but jumping to exiling artifacts seems a bit extreme. I'm not complaining, though. Kumena will love not having to run Imprisoned in the Moon (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Imprisoned+in+the+Moon) as creature removal anymore.
-
It's a pattern they've been following lately. Find an older card that doesn't see tons of play but has an interesting effect, then print it at a lower cost with more tacked on. I thought the exact same thing when Kinnan was revealed as a better Mayael the Anima (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Mayael+the+Anima).

What annoys me even more is that Kinnan isn't absolutely better than Mayael in all aspects (Mayael is in better colors for big creatures, cheaper to activate, can hit humans, etc.), but Tegrid definitely feels so much better than It That Betrays (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=It+That+Betrays) in (almost) every way. I just know that Plaguecrafter (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Plaguecrafter) and its siblings are already frustrating to play against, and with this 5 mana creature, they allow you to steal 3 creatures. And honestly, that's on the low side of nauseating. Discard decks already rip your hand to shreds very fast unless you are able to quickly set up a card advantage engine, and now once you're out of cards, they will have a giant advantage (remember, Tegrid even takes lands, which can give the player using Tegrid a bunch of extra mana).
Outside of mono black, it gets even more disheartening. There a lot more wheel effects in blue and red, and we all know how annoying Hullbreacher (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Hullbreacher) and similar cards are when paired with wheels.
Just an overall feels-bad from me.

Just an overall feels-bad from me.
I get the feeling it won’t be long before she gets banned in Commander. As you said, the fact that she can be commander and has such an overpowering, feel-bad impact on a game (especially if you have Mindslicer (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Mindslicer) and a sac outlet already out) is bound to lead to sour play.
Unless the translation we’ve seen above is inaccurate...
-
I agree that someone should think about banning it. Black has too many sac/ discard effects to make a strictly better It that Betrays (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=It+That+Betrays) that works in the command zone.

• a card that lets you use a creature’s toughness to perform an action normally using a creature’s power
I have to assume this is actually a way to use Toughness to crew vehicles (or a specific vehicle) rather than Power...
Well, looks like I wasn’t far off...
Giant Ox - {1}{W}
Creature - Ox
You may use Giant Ox’s Toughness to crew Vehicles rather than its power.
0/6
So 6 power to crew vehicles, for 2, could be decent I guess if you have appropriate vehicles to crew...

Entreat the Angels (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Entreat+the+Angels) is already a decent card, and this is a lot better in my eyes.

Not quite sure what you meant by "do it", but if you meant "post it", here:

I originally glossed over Burning-Rune Demon when I first saw it, but after reading it again, I see that you pick any 2 cards with different names (already going to happen in EDH 99% of the time), and the one that your opponent doesn't choose goes into your graveyard. Definitely a consideration for Meren of Clan Nel Toth (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Meren+of+Clan+Nel+Toth) or any commander with built-in recursion, as it's not hard to cheat in, and there are plenty of duplicate effects in my Meren list. Might be interesting.
