It can generate an enormous board state, with a ton of draw power if it gets up and running. It's a lot of fun to play, but can occasionally stall out. Overall, if you like morph, this is for you. This is my latest revision on the faceless menace pre-con. It might seem good that the EV comes close to the 'MSRP', but after you factor in the decrease in value due to supply increasing, this deck will most likely be lucky to break $50 after the market settles down after release. And after seeing the estimated $97 in reprints that Command Zone stated, I was saddened to see that it really only totals up to a little more than $40. If you were to try and build any one of these as a commander, you would likely only be taking the mana base from this deck and maybe 3 or 4 other cards just because they are staples, like ] and ].Īs for value, I was excited to see Ixidron, ], ], ] and ] reprinted, along with ] and ] (they are some fun cards I could never find at my LGS). Rayami wants keywords, Volrath wants counters and cloning, and Grismold wants tokens to die. The rest of the deck has decent pieces, but isn't very cohesive as a whole.Īgain, we are presented with the issue of the alternate commanders going in a completely different direction than the bulk of the deck. 7 out of 100 cards that supports the main theme of the deck doesn't seem like a lot. Also, I really only see ], ], ], ], ], and Scroll of Fate as actually supporting Morph aside from Kadena. The morph cards themselves are alright, but nothing to really write home about, since they seem to only really be good with Kadena as the commander. Now that we have seen the whole decklist, I understand why. Plus, the fact that they felt the need to toss in the fact that Seedborn Muse was going into her deck seemed kinda suspect, as if they expected her to be the least impressive. When I first saw Kadena, I was already unimpressed.

But tossing a $20 to $40 card in each deck would really help the more enfranchised players, and ultimately it would help that beginning player as well.

I do agree that a newer Commander player coming from Standard or Kitchen Table or Arena would benefit from solid utility cards like ], ], ] and the like. Then when the decks came out and this wasn't actually the case, they doubled down on that promise, said they heard us, and this year, by golly, there would really be some high-target reprints. The only real issue with the finance aspect is that they raised the price last year and said that the higher price meant they could include better reprints. You're correct that they did seem to make a good out-of-the-box Morph-based play experience.
