![]() ![]() Don't forget, too, that Kadena says "each turn," meaning that if you have the newly-reprinted Leyline of Anticipation in play, you can cast a free Morph on your opponents' turns! Kadena decks may even employ self-bounce effects to continually recast Morphs precisely to take advantage of this value train. After some initial investment, Animar will allow you to play more Morphs for free, allowing you to rapid-fire them into play all at once, while Kadena will discount just one at a time, refilling her hand in a way Animar does not (at least, not without extra support). While Ezuri gains experience counters from Morphs and Ixidor directly supports face-down creatures, Animar is the closest comparison we can make to how Kadena should be evaluated in the format. (This is very important for cards like Ghastly Conscription, since Kadena will draw cards for each of the face-down creatures!) Morph as a theme certainly has a niche following, as there are 465 Morph decks in the EDHREC database, with Animar, Soul of Elements, Ixidor, Reality Sculptor, and Ezuri, Claw of Progress as the three main commanders. In addition, she provides card advantage by drawing a card every time a face-down creature enters the battlefield under your control, which notably counts for both Morph and Manifest cards. Barring any effects that increase costs, Kadena reduces the first Morph you cast each turn by three mana, making it free to play. Kadena, Slinking Sorcerer is the face card of the Sultai Morph deck. I'm excited to talk about them with you! Kadena, Slinking Sorcerer We have a Morph commander, a Voltron commander, and a counter-based commander, all of which seem to be really interesting and exciting to build! While we have only received two new Morph cards, we also received several new non-commander cards that can fit into a variety of decks. This time around, we've received three new Sultai commanders that all seem to have fairly niche roles and themes while still maintaining some versatility. Sultai has received many new toys and a few new commanders to play with over the last couple of years, including Muldrotha the Gravetide and Yarok, the Desecrated, both of which have become popular as extremely versatile commanders that can cater to several playstyles. This may not be Star Wars, and you may not find Jar Jar Binks or Darth Maul in this set review, but with a color combination like Sultai and a theme like Morph, we have plenty of Phantom Menaces to discuss in the Sultai set review of Commander 2019! This is especially true for Eternal formats, where cards only amass and never exit the rotation of legality.( Kadena, Slinking Sorcerer | Art by Caio Monteiro) EPISODE 1: THE FACELESS MENACE This is also true for Singleton formats, where only one of most any given card is allowed in the deck. Commander encompasses both of these format types, and to drive this point home, the deck size for a Commander deck is 100 cards as opposed to a minimum of 60. With this in mind, we at Bleeding Cool have compiled a list of the twenty most pertinent additions to the Faceless Menace deck from Commander 2019, a deck which revolves around Morph as a mechanic. Choice of Commander for Faceless Menaceįor this series of articles (because yes, we will be covering all four decks in Commander 2019), we will be focusing on using the "face commander" of these preconstructed Magic: the Gathering decks, meaning the legendary creature featured in the packaging of the deck. If you'd like, you may use another commander, but as these commanders are often the most synergistic options in the precons, these ones are recommended. As such, we will be focusing on improving this deck with Kadena, Slinking Sorcerer as the commander in mind. ![]() ![]() 1x Vraska the Unseen – slow removal, and not synergistic enough overallĬhoices for Additions, and Where to Obtain Them.1x Pendant of Prosperity – functionally detrimental (they should have printed this in Primal Genesis).1x Foul Orchard – easy to replace there are too many lands in these decks as a whole.The following twenty cards were selected to get the axe from Faceless Menace for a variety of reasons, ranging from a lack of utility, lack of synergy, or an overall superfluous nature. ![]()
