THE MERCHANT

yeah, feels weird getting anything Marvel before Strixhaven.
But
I really like not seeing cards from future sets other than the actual next set. Keep the mystery alive for as long as possible.

I propose that we start a movement.

#LockInForLorwyn

Niv-Mizzet, Supreme {W}{U}{B}{R}{G} Legendary Creature — Dragon Avatar Flying, hexproof from monocolored Each instant and sorcery card in your graveyard that’s exactly two colors has jump-start. (You may cast that card from your graveyard by discarding a card in addition to paying its other costs. Then exile it.) 5/5 Illustrated by Joshua Raphael

Codie, Vociferous Codex {3} Legendary Artifact Creature — Construct You can’t cast permanent spells. {4}, {T}: Add {W}{U}{B}{R}{G}. When you next cast a spell this turn, exile cards from the top of your library until you exile an instant or sorcery card with lesser mana value. Until end of turn, you may cast that card without paying its mana cost. Put each other card exiled this way on the bottom of your library in a random order. 1/4 Illustrated by Daniel Ljunggren

Fractured Identity {3}{W}{U} Sorcery Exile target nonland permanent. Each player other than its controller creates a token that’s a copy of it. Self-reflection is not without its perils. Illustrated by Yongjae Choi

Inkshield {3}{W}{B} Instant Prevent all combat damage that would be dealt to you this turn. For each 1 damage prevented this way, create a 2/1 white and black Inkling creature token with flying. Silverquill’s elite know how to offer a scathing rebuttal without uttering a word. Illustrated by Jarel Threat

Day 97 of Random card + the commander that wants it:
After another day off for exams, I'm back with a weird one. This Niv-Mizzet is really made to lead a deck, but I think he could do some work in a Codie deck that's focused on 2c spells. There's a bunch of great ones with MV5 to use up codies mana.

It felt really weird being shown only trailers for other Netflix productions when I went to see Frankenstein on the big screen

Another reason to finish preparing this presentation as fast as possible.

10 Coolest New Commanders of 2025 - Card Kingdom Blog 2025 gave us some really cool Commander designs. Today’s article covers 10 of the Coolest New Commanders of 2025. If you’re looking for some last minute inspiration, we’ve got you.  HONORABLE MENTION ...

2025 has given us more interesting and varied Commanders than I actually expected we'd get. Despite being so far into this game, designs can still feel fresh.

Here are my picks for the top 10 of the year. Have a feeling I'm not alone in picking some of these

I don't know who needs to hear this but sometimes a sketch is just meant to be a sketch and not a finished piece.

Not everything has to be a "finished" thing. Maybe the sketch IS the finished version of that thing. If you learned from it, took what you needed, it had its purpose fulfilled.

That printing of Doran is so beautiful!

That looks so good! 🔥

Letting this dry and then coming back later to give it a final pass, but I'm really happy with this considering it's the first time I've painted on this medium

that cat is unreasonably large, oh my :O

Here I am
Trusting the process

Tourach, Dread Cantor {1}{B} Legendary Creature — Human Cleric Kicker {B}{B} (You may pay an additional {B}{B} as you cast this spell.) Protection from white Whenever an opponent discards a card, put a +1/+1 counter on Tourach. When Tourach enters, if it was kicked, target opponent discards two cards at random. 2/1 Illustrated by Greg Staples

Aclazotz, Deepest Betrayal {3}{B}{B} Legendary Creature — Bat God Flying, lifelink Whenever Aclazotz attacks, each opponent discards a card. For each opponent who can’t, you draw a card. Whenever an opponent discards a land card, create a 1/1 black Bat creature token with flying. When Aclazotz dies, return it to the battlefield tapped and transformed under its owner’s control. 4/4

Temple of the Dead Land (Transforms from Aclazotz, Deepest Betrayal.) {T}: Add {B}. {2}{B}, {T}: Transform this land. Activate only if a player has one or fewer cards in hand and only as a sorcery. Chimil gave the Oltec peace in death. Aclazotz ripped it away. Illustrated by Steve Prescott

Painful Quandary {3}{B}{B} Enchantment Whenever an opponent casts a spell, that player loses 5 life unless they discard a card. In Mishra’s desperation to destroy his brother, he allowed Gix to destroy him instead. Illustrated by David Palumbo

Day 96 of Random card + the commander that wants it:
Today with something not many people like to play against. Mono Black discard. Tourach is such a cool design and the Bat god killed me in so many drafts, but I personally don't play much discard, so I'll propably never cast them.

Biggest commitment to a 3 second joke I've ever seen

this has become a very important video to me

I absolutely do not mind playing against mill, but I'm kind of an outlier in that regard xD

What were your first four commander decks? 11

They should definitely play a leading role in them
