Commander Game

Feedback

emberfire17: This is great! Love that it's two modes work so well with each other! And I like that you allow your other creatures to also explore, not only itself. Also, I like that choice 2 remains viable due to choice 1's effect, meaning you will be using both modes pretty frequently. Feels well costed and a clean design.

serraphim: Her first ability feels very red to me, and it makes it pretty strong in that it essentially grants you a third draw if you already drew two. The Young Role token feels like the much weaker of the options, though I see the flavor in it. I think it's missing red in its identity, and needs something more to add with the Young Hero mode to make it worth choosing in comparison to the first mode.

Idea: Very interesting design! It combos too well with these, to the point where I think the first mode should be changed to "rounded down," so paying 1 life is no longer fully refunded. Other than that, I think this is a solid design that really makes for an interesting build-around. I think generally the 2nd choice is going to be more frequently used, but the 1st choice does give enough benefit with life gain triggers that I can see it get used frequently as well.

Daij_Djan: Is it just me that wants this to have a third mode, it being a 3-mana 3/3? I do like this a lot. Its power is kept in check by targeting an opponent (instead of all opponents). It builds nicely with existing sac engines, but does make you think how to best make use of them. Both choices feel powerful enough and interesting enough to use.

melono: Feels well costed, with choice 1 making choice 2 better over time. Option 2 is like a permanent battle cry on tokens. It feels strange to have a vigilant token enter tapped. I think it could have just entered attacking (not tapped). Overall, I like this design and makes for a fun pauper commander!

Result

This is a tough one because these are honestly all great. I'll give the win to emberfire17, with very close runner ups melono and Daij_Djan.

I think what you meant is non-sapient animal species. Sentient animals are those who have a centralized nervous system. However I got. In the other hand make a non-sentient animal species commander could be nice, for exemple a Jellyfish or a Starfish Commander.

I did mean sapient, thank you for the correction. I was going to say non-humanoid, but that doesn't seem very fitting in a universe with a thousand sapient species that are very "not humanlike".

I looked it up and I did find mentions of that... some of the hound cards did seem pretty modern though... In either case, made the changes to the card.

Enwhoo, Grandfather of Tides
Legendary Creature - Whale
Affinity for permanents with mana value 5 or more (This spell costs less to cast for each permanent with mana value 5 or more you control.)
Whale spells you cast have affinity for permanents with mana value 5 or more.
: All creatures lose flying and islandwalk until end of turn.
8/8

Thanks for the reminder, I will get to judging this sometime in the next few days.

Hey you can only cast blue, black and colorless spells by this cards rulling, is that intentional?
At last, I didn't knew the reference, nice card. So much flavour, very nice.

The Next Doctor
Legendary Creature - Human
Flying
Paradox — Whenever you cast a spell from anywhere other than your hand, draw a card, then discard a card. If the discarded card is an instant or sorcery card, it gains flashback until end of turn. The flashback cost is equal to its mana cost plus .
