[Gaming] Tragic the Garnering

I think banning it in EDH is perfectly reasonable, because it's poorly designed for that format, and I don't really like how hearthstoney all the designs for companion in Ikoria are. But that the RC acted so quickly to ban this day one and still refuses to look at flash and thassa's oracle, both of which dominate the format, is leading to a lot of this anger.
I'm betting Flash is gone on the 20th when they make their full rules changes known. They just wanted to get ahead of the pack on the companion card.
I will eat a beta Wheel of Fortune* if they actually ban flash. The Rules Committee hates cEDH that much, and they don't want to appear as if they are actually listening to them.
*maybe I'll just nibble it... in a sleeve
Those I got a really good deal on and plan to flip, assuming we're ever able to go outside again.
Also, they're shiny
On the contrary, that's why it was a good time to buy
I run an Ur-Dragon deck that is secretly a changeling deck which is secretly a slivers deck
Holy fuck
They also partner with WotC, so while they might claim there's no MSRP, this is as close to an official price as you can get
POST THE PICTURES POE. I need to see you nibble that card....in a sleeve.
I just got out of the shower, so my hair and beard are a mess, but a promise is a promise.
I'd be happier if they weren't so condescending in the rules announcement. They want everyone to know that even though they're banning flash, they still don't like cEDH

I’ve been building Otrimi because Mutate looks fun as all get-out.
I think Wizards might have made an oopsy.
I didn’t think of it myself, but apparently, you can turn Otrimi into a Planeswalker.
Play Oko or any Planeswalker that can become a creature. (Gideon, it’s your time to shine!)
Make it a creature. Mutate a creature on top of it. Even when the effect wears off at the end of turn, the mutated creature keeps the Planeswalker abilities.
Yeah.
It’s been discussed, and it’s a legit board state you can achieve.
I mean, yes, this is really cool, and I might have the planeswalker deck with this Oko on the way, but I have a feeling there’s going to be a slew of unexpected interactions with Mutate.

Your local resident almost judge here popping in to point out that this still is not Gideon's time to shine. Gideon turns into a human and mutate can only target nonhumans

Oh, that’s right. I forgot it’s “Human Soldier” when he becomes a creature. I thought it was just Soldier.
Guess it’s only Oko’s other card if you play Otrimi.

There are red Mutate creatures, though none of them are legendary. Maybe next set?

New Commander rule change: Commanders now hit the graveyard, then move to the Command Zone when they die. This means Commanders with death triggers like Kokusho, Child of Alara, and Elenda do their thing if they bite it.
Also, they have shot up in price.
Exiling with effects like Banishing Light or Oblivion Ring works differently now. They go into exile and right back into the command zone.
I like the change personally. I’ve got an Elenda in my Teysa Karlov deck, and it’s getting a bit boring. I might have them swap places.
