Hello everyone and welcome to CommanderCast Episode 489!  This week Mark and Adam are going over the most recent news about the recent return to one of Magic’s loved sets, Dominaria! Dominaria United will be releasing on September 9, 2022 and we are starting to get spoilers for what to expect in the set. First we take a moment to talk about some of the recent cards that were revealed from the set. We then take a quick look at a type of card that was the inspiration for the Level Up mechanic. Figure of Destiny started the ball rolling and since it was printed there have been a few cards that came from its design and we take time today to evaluate them. We wrap things up with a quick look at some of the old Legends cards we would like to see a retrain of with the new Legends Reborn from the set.

 

All that, plus our usual interstitial fodder, and all you have to do is Click the IB!!!

“Legends Return: The First Dominaria United Previews Are Here,” by Adam Styborski

 

Dominaria United releasing September 9, 2022.

 

New spoilers

Llanowar Loamspeaker
Touch the Spirit Realm (Game Day promo)
Workshop Warchief (Game Day promo)
Shivan Devastator

*Editor’s note: the audio got too garbled for the last two cards. I tried to clean it up, but that just made it sound worse, so we did talk about these but unfortunately the internet gods deemed it unfit for your ears.  Our apologies.

Jaya, Fiery Negotiator
Temporal Firestorm

 

Interstitial fodder: 

Mark finally joins 2022 and watches Squid Game.
Final Fantasy Pixel Remasters
Video game golf is the only acceptable way to play golf
Sandwich update!!

 

Strategy

 

Trying–and mostly failing–to play with One-drop pseudo-Level Up creatures.

 

Ascendant Spirit
Evolved Sleeper
Figure of Destiny
Warden of the First Tree

 

Pros

Easier to reanimate
Early drops to commit to board presence

 

Cons

A lot of investment in one creature

 

Technology

 

We take our own crack at “Legends Reborn” with other old bad cards that need a tune up.
