![]() Notably like the original this doesn’t require piles of a certain size from your opponent so there is political upside if you’re both behind and digging for a board wipe or similar. There are few cards I have cast more than Fact or Fiction, and I always love getting a new variant. I think a lot of decks that like Diabolic Tutor probably would run this.Ĭredit: Wizards of the Coast Sauron’s RansomįromTheShire: Hell yes. That aside, a 3 mana conditional tutor with a bit of an upside is actually pretty solid. ![]() I think it’s fine, but building around it might not have enough of a payoff to be worth it besides some extra value. I wouldn’t build around it, and I don’t know if I would run enough incremental draw in Humans to warrant this.įromTheShire: This is a perfectly solid tutor, with upside in a Ring deck. Loxi: If you’re playing a cantrip deck, it’s probably fine. I love this card, I don’t think it’s groundbreaking but its solid all around.Ĭredit: Wizards of the Coast Prince Imrahil the FairįromTheShire: In something like an Ephara, God of the Polis list or whatever deck Faramir is in this can provide steady token generation, you’d have to be taking advantage of them in some way to be worth it though. Protection from a whole card type can be super versatile, and his body isn’t half bad either for a two drop. Loxi: Mother of Runes type effects tend to be very good, and I don’t think this is an exception. ![]() Loxi: I’m not sure if I’d run it at the helm for Fightin’ Borbs, but it’s a slam dunk in the 99 for most bird decks.Ĭredit: Wizards of the Coast Pippin, Guard of the CitadelįromTheShire: A cool twist on the typical ‘protection from a color’ effects, I like the extra utility it gives you. I almost wish he was pricier but worked on every opponent’s turn, and maybe made less dudes.Ĭredit: Wizards of the Coast Gwaihir the WindlordįromTheShire: AVigilance is fantastic in Commander where it allows you to attack and still ward off attacks from 3 other players, and it’s even better on flyers like Birds. I want to mention up front that I think this set favors flavor over raw power for the majority of cards, so when eyeing them up you have to keep that in mind a bit.įaramir is really cool as a generic politics/pillowfort deck, but I don’t know if the payoff is strong enough to compete with other commanders in the archetype, like Oloro. Loxi: Whew, lotta cards so I’ll try and keep this concise. I have a hard time picturing him as your Commander but in a Human or Soldier deck certainly. That only combined the terror that the Nazgûl inspired, but it's still odd how no one ever came up with a real name for the dreadful creatures.Credit: Wizards of the Coast Faramir, Prince of IthilienįromTheShire: Not a bad card in the right deck, Faramir provides either an extra card per turn or some useful tokens. From there, Sauron gifted the creatures to the Nazgûl to be their dreadful mounts. ![]() Similar to Morgoth corrupting beasts into Dragons, Sauron fed the Fellbeasts corrupted meat and expended his Maiaric power, which caused them to grow to an unnatural size. That quote makes it clear that the Fellbeasts were a preexisting, evil creature from an ancient age. And the Dark Lord took it, and nursed it with fell meats until it grew beyond the measure of all other things that fly and he gave it to his servant to be his steed." Here's what the Return of the King novelization says about them: "A creature of an older world maybe it was, whose kind, lingering in forgotten mountains cold beneath the Moon, outstayed their day, and in hideous eyrie bred this last untimely brood, apt to evil. While both species were large, winged and serpent-like, there was absolutely no relation between them. The second misconception about the Fellbeasts was their connection to the Dragons of Middle-earth, which were created by Morgoth.
