Imagine my surprise when I was walking down Elgin street one night and found an empty mailbag. Being an upstanding, honest and responsible citizen, my first inclination was of course to head to the post office and drop it off. But then, a biting curiosity took hold of me and I opened said bag.
What did I find but a bunch of letters to Santa Claus, from some of the more popular commanders in the format?
Let's take a look inside the mailbag and see what we can learn.
Dear Santa, my Commander needs...
Azami, Lady of Scrolls: "It's not much fun being a wizard without an Academy to attend..."
Azusa, Lost but Seeking: "Fastbond isn't really that much better than Exploration is it? With 40 life and three other players, I'm not sure it's even playable. Can we give it a test unban please?"
Captain Sisay: "I really wish the rest of the Weatherlight crew outside Karn and Rofellos were, you know, useful?"
Damia, Siege of Stone: "To become One with Nothing for the rest of the game."
Derevi, Empyrial Tactician: "Dear Santa, I really wish someone would get rid of all these needles sticking out around the house. They're stopping me from spreading my wings."
Edric, Spymater of Trest: "A better spy network. Why is everyone directing their frustrations at me?"
Karador, Ghost Chieftain: "A Morality Shift for the late game, and perhaps being reunited with Protean Hulk or Griselbrand?"
Maelstrom Wanderer: "What I'd really like is a friend."
Memnarch: "1UU: Target Santa becomes an artifact. 3U: Gain control of target Santa. You make toys only for me now, elf."
Omnath, Locus of Mana: "I'd love to focus my energies into a Doubling Cube for something more constructive, like world domination."
Prossh, Skyraider of Kher: "A short term alliance with Purphoros, God of the Forge. I bring friends and you bring the pain."
Rafiq of the Many: "Bant Commander seeks creature companions willing to work alone. Infectious personalities welcome."
Riku of Two Reflections: "Reuniting with Primeval Titan would be great, capturing Jingzhou before the next event even better."
Ruhan of the Fomori: "A distributor for my new hit single: 'We are Fomori, I've got all my bounce spells with me.' "
Sen Triplets: "I don't need anything really, I'll just use whatever you keep lying around."
Sliver Queen: "That all the servant races realize that I am, indeed, imbued with Omniscience."
Thalia, Guardian of Thraben: "Some enchanted weapons please. It's nigh impossible to get them here due to extortive duties on items."
Thraximundar: "An audience of one."
Vish Kal, Blood Arbiter: "Ask not what Vish Kal can do for you, but what you can do for Vish Kal. *Sacrifices entire kingdoms, burps slightly.*"
Zur the Enchanter: "I'd really like Aggravated Assault as a blue aura, with a blue or white activated ability. Or a horsemanship aura maybe. Wizards riding horses is really cool!"
Other Items of EDH Interest:
Just a small reminder that there is no Commander event at CBS Sunday of this week, as GP Toronto is going on. It resumes next week with a 1 v 1 event and six spots open for the Invitational. Get playing!
Wizard's Tower is hosting 1 v 1 events starting at 4 p.m. every Saturday night. It's a more casual environment so give it a try, entry $5 and prize is Wizard's Tower coins (store credit).
Not really tied to Commander, but December 7th there will be the annual CHEO event over at Wizard's Tower. It's for a fantastic cause and there will be some cool stuff for auction if you want rarities or alters. It all ends up helping a great plce so there we go!
