Product Information

Cards that were printed in the simultaneously-released Strixhaven: School of Mages expansion, and thus use the Strixhaven expansion symbol, are:

Commander 2021 Strixhaven: Silverquill Statement Commander 2021 Strixhaven: Silverquill Statement Commander 2021 Strixhaven: Silverquill Statement Powerful and varied synergies between the cards. A decent number of good tutors. Good mana curve. Has an efficient and consistent way to win on turns 10-12 (level 7) or 7-9 (level 8). Some social rules — like no mass land destruction, no consistent combo wins — still exist. Breena without a doubt is political commander but I think she could been better if she also able to function in 1v1. I know politics is multiplayer thing but it's better to have a card that functions in every part of the game. No way she can beat Tymna since she allows people to draw cards and that itself is a minus to you unless we have figured out a way to make the cards in their hand hard to cast.

About the Author

Since I had pulled out a handful of removal, I wanted to be sure to replace it. Council's Judgment and Merciless Eviction were perfect fits in this regard. Blake Rasmussen (February 18, 2021). " The First Lesson: Introduction to Strixhaven". magicthegathering.com. Wizards of the Coast. Tempting contract is mediocre card. If no one is interested in getting the extra mana, it's useless. Also, if your opponent wants mana, he or she doesn't mind giving you a treasure token since they will just destroy everyone. So, this card could have been deleted and replaced with SMOTHERING TITHE. Mark Rosewater (April 5, 2021). " In the Strixhaven, Part 2". magicthegathering.com. Wizards of the Coast. Scholarship Sponsor is good on 1v1 scenarios. Other than that, it's just bad unless you play Opposition agent.

Bold Plagiarist grows big only but it doesn't feel like it matters compared to mana gorger hydra and Taurean mauler which is more flexible and scarier. I know they're in different colors but it doesn't seem like you want to play this card once you know how others are better inclusion. Will always benefit from being 1 cmc cheaper. In short, feel free to include whatever removal spells you would like. This is simply my chance to get on a soap box to advocate for synergy over staples. Thank you for coming to my TedTalk. 5 Ways to Upgrade Silverquill Statement Vainglories are Silverquill mages who use words to inspire or reproach, which can cause intense changes in their target's emotional state. [5] Eloquents, a highly sought-after position for Silverquill graduates, are the supreme arbiters of the cosmos and enforcers of all magical contracts on Arcavios. [6] Colors Dichotomy [ | ] One extra consideration when modifying the precon is the option to switch out Breena for one of the legends included in the 99. In particular, if you’re de-emphasizing the political theme, then Breena feels a touch out of place — why not try someone new? FELISA, FANG OF SILVERQUILL Lastly, if lobbying fails and you just need vote your way, just take control of their turn. That’s what all good politicians do, right?

Soul Shatter , Kaya’s Guile , Heliod’s Intervention , Vanquish the Horde , and Toxic Deluge will give you boatloads of card advantage when they sweep away whatever threats opponents throw at you. Blind Obedience isn’t exactly removal, but it slows down opposing forces and buys time with life gain. The main Silverquill building is Grandloft Hall, a vast train-station-like space with shafts of light streaking in from the enchanted windowpanes far above. Grandloft is filled with balconies, loges, booths, daises, and other spaces where orators can perform their craft. Inklings flit around the high windowed ceiling, and enchanted spotlights automatically focus on any mage who's using powerful magic. [7]

Author of Shadows could have benefited from being 4 cmc card. I doubt he's broken as you're likely to cast 1 exiled spell in most games. There's some solid inclusions here, such as Knight of the White Orchid and thematic choices like Victory Chimes. I'm not sold on Tempting Contract like some others are -- it's entirely dependent on your opponents, so I guess hope for bad opponents? However, I don't like the over-reliance on land deficit ramp cards: Knight of the White Orchid, Boreas Charger, Scholarship Sponsor, all these cards can end up doing nothing for you by themselves, but cast one and each subsequent one you cast gets that much worse.Nils is a trap like combat calligrapher. Buffing others without a form of protection is never a good idea. Instead, invest on pillowfort cards with minimal effort. White has interesting effect but power level wise, it's still poor execution. a b c Doug Beyer and Ari Zirulnik (April 01, 2021). " Planeswalker's Guide to Strixhaven". magicthegathering.com.

" A Silent Voice Calls". magicthegathering.com. Wizards of the Coast. Inkshield is such a trap card. 5 cmc that relies on your opponent going all in is suspect. Why not play teferi's protection which it does so much and it protects everything you have? Plus people are completely overlooking the fact that Breena is a ridiculous engine for +1/+1 counters. Assuming each player triggering Breena on their turn in a 4-Player FFA game, that's six +1/+1 counters going on to your creatures each turn cycle, which is absolutely ridiculous. The precon doesn't have a lot of counter support -- only a handful of cards like Fain, the Broker, Felisa, Fang of Silverquill, and Elite Scaleguard -- but even so, giving your creatures an extra combined 6 power and toughness each turn cycle is a ton for a three mana commander! Honestly, the only card from the precon that I would recommend keeping for this strategy is Selfless Squire. None of the rest of the cards are necessary to this strategy. 5. Voting (3-6)
