Yugular's Commander Set Reviews
This is a thread where I will make short set reviews with multiplayer commander in mind. I will go through all new general options and rank them in the scale of 1 to 5 stars according to how fun, original and powerful they are. A 5 star general would be something that is very powerful and interesting, while a 1 star general might be decent but boring and something that is already seen.
I will also highlight some amount of cards from each sets and maybe have few titles that I will give away each time. I am open to suggestions and discussion.
I know there aren't too many commander players in the forum, but the format is fun and casual and hopefully brings in even just a little bit of conversation.
TITLES:
The Common: The Common card that is probably the most powerful common from the set with EDH in mind.
The Enchantment: The Enchantment from the set that has the possibility to break through and make its way to commander decks.
The Dragon: Commander used to be called Elder Dragon Highlander. Dragons are a huge factor in the format and this title is given to the meanest dragon in the set. Dragon being a huge beater with good ability or two, not necessarily a creature type dragon.
The Swiss Army Knife: A card that is very versatile and therefore can be considered for many commander decks.
The Hoser: A card that really hurts some specific strategies and might be an answer that is good enough to warrant some play, even if running specific hosers is quite rare in commander (aside GY hate).
The Cycle: The card cycle in the set that has the potential to break through and see some play in commander.
