Commander format discussion

Also called EDH or Elder Dragon Highlander, Commander is Magic's most popular format and all about picking your hero and building a deck around them. In this casual, multiplayer format, you choose a legendary creature to serve as your commander and build the rest of your 100 card deck around their color identity and unique abilities. Players are only allowed one of each card in their deck, with the exception of basic lands, but they can use cards from throughout Magic's history.

Commander combines the command zone, color identity, singleton deckbuilding, multiplayer strategies, and the entire MtG cardpool for one of the most exciting and fresh ways to play.

Finally (mostly) finished upgrading my Tyranid precon with [[Magus Lucea Kane]], thought I'd show it off and see what people think!

There are still a few good cards I'd like to pick up (I'm watching the price of the [[Finale of Devastation]] reprint) but it's performed very well so far. Lucea is a seriously powerful commander, shame [[The Swarmlord]] wasn't better though.

Have you thought about [[Biomass Mutation]]? Besides working well on a go wide strategy and decks that run 0/0 base creatures I think it would be a flavor win for the nids.

I think I looked at it at one point, it's not bad! Doesn't really have any benefit for copying it though. I'm not sure what I'd take out, especially if I'm gonna add Finale of Devastation. Thanks for the suggestion tho!

I hear that.

The main advantage I would see from the copy effect is that it is more likely to resolve since it would need to eat two counter spells to prevent it from killing someone at instant speed.
