Hey, Hold This Commander For a Second.

Ойындар

Played a game against Slicer the other day, and it was interesting. I went down the rabbit hole into a rules digression, and talk a little about this interesting commander.

    I think it’s crazy Slicer is cEDH viable now, and having piloted him at that level he’s awesome!

    yeeeea, real meta breaker, one of the few cards ive seen draw salt from cedh players. Loved playing the first few weeks after release when most players hadn't seen him yet and were shocked to get commander damage lethal on turn 3

    Slicer was always cEDH viable. People just had to realize what they were looking at. I built a cEDH version before it had been released, lol. It feels like the multiplayer equivalent of Dargo/Jeska, which is absolutely oppressive in 1v1 if built right. It's nice that Slicer pushed red voltron aggro into being multiplayer cEDH viable. Previously it had only been Godo to do this, which largely feels like a combo deck rather than an aggro one. Slicer truly feels like aggro in cEDH

    I got really excited when Goad became an evergreen mechanic. I like the design of Slicer and Kharn. It's like if Timmy wanted to play control. I've been playing on and off since Tempest and I appreciate the rules breakdown.

    Watched this when it dropped, then got Slicer from a random pack after a draft two weeks later. This video was the reason I was excited for the pull rather than being annoyed at the card. Thanks man

    I love Assault Suit, it feels underrated in voltron tech. I use it in Zangief and Thrunn Breaker of Silence since they become Indestructible on opponents turns when they control them :P

    Kediss only spreds Slicer's combat damage during your turn, since when opponents swing Slicer they have control of him.

    Came here to say that. You said whenever he touches one of your opponents it drains the table but this is only true on your turn. All of the other information presented was great. Mattthecricketbat the damage Kedis deals to the other players not being attacked never counts as commander damage but can still be relevant to go against an ad naus player or if you have grafted exoskeleton or something like that

    Kediss is good and I run him in slicer, but he says “commander creature you control” if your opponent has slicer you don’t control slicer at the moment. Kediss only works when you got slicer.

    This is a pretty cool card, it would be pretty interesting to play, but I still am refusing to buy any transformers crap and think it should've just become it's own card game. A cousin to magic or something. Like Hasbro, keep your greedy mits out of the game I love (may be used to love soon).
