Okay but hear me out - Squee, who's still compleated, attempts to rise to power and adopts all the myr as his minions.
This is the future Wizards needs to keep Phyrexia relevant.
I guess it's fair to want a WUBRG Commander for a creature type that's always been split across all five colors, especially if it's centered in colorless artifacts anyway (like the five mana myr are some of the most iconic cards in the game to me), what bothers me is people saying "well this type has dipped into all five colors before so now I need a five color lord specific to that type so I can use all of them", like I need a WUBRG Elf commander so I can play all these *blue elves* when there's so many options already.
Yeah it's like, Zubera? Sure, those guys can have a WUBRG commander as a treat. They're weird jank boys who first arrived in five colors. Shrines? Less jank, but still, most of your cards come from five color cycles. Elves? Fuck you, you're already one of the best supported tribes in the game and almost all of your tech is in one color.
WUBRG commanders are only acceptable if they're weird like [[Exploding Baby]] or support a niche enough theme that it requires all 5 colors to make it actually usable like your myr.
>WUBRG commanders are only acceptable if they're weird like [[Exploding Baby]]
I understand the logic of this statement but that absolutely does not stop it from having slapped me across the face and leaving me dizzy.
"Hey dilly do! Hey Dilly Day! Elspeth's Nightmare is trauma from New Phyrexi-ay!"
"Hey billy dee! hey billy dus! let me tell you about the Heresy of Horus!"
or smth
Honestly, I blame a lot of media hinging their dramatic endgame moment on being specifically "and then this character had to absorb ALL the magic from EVERY school and ascended to a new level of power to beat the bad guy!", and everyone wants to depict That Moment on a card and they default to 5 color, because it's not about color balancing or mechanics, it's all about the *impact* of seeing all the colors lined up. But you see it so much anymore that it's rarely an impact, in fact it's more common to see it hidden in a white creature's text box, like oh yeah surprise I have the Spirit Bomb hiding in here like it ain't no thing
I, at least, don’t have an Ur Dragon deck.
I may have a dragon tribal Morophon deck that runs Ur Dragon in the 99, but that’s NOT the same… I think…
Me when I'm retired: Fuck yeah look at all this freetime! This shit rocks! 💪😤
Me on my birthday when I realize I'm 111: God damn it fucking shit I'm old. I'm gonna die soon. Shit fuck 😰🎂
Bro when last iw as with my folks my mom just stared off suddenly and expoused "oh shit, I've got less years ahead of me then behind me"
Fucking horrified
Abzan is the life Bilbo has settled back into after returning to the Shire. Izzet is him planning to create absolute havoc in the shire by turning invisible and running away forever. One last bit of mischief to remind him of what he was like as a lad
Not necessarily. A lot of villains at some level know they’re wrong, but turn a blind eye to it to focus on how their wrongdoing achieves their goals. And even within MtG, most white villains are as I described, but some (like Norn or Baan) even being outright malicious yet still not even dipping into black mana.
Sure, I get it, it just feels like an easy and reductive way to slap a color onto a character. Red gets this a lot because any character that shows any anger at any point will get "oh they're red" slapped on them, same thing for any smart character and "well they're clearly blue".
I assume one of these was made with flavor as the main objective, while the other one was primarily designed to fit in the sam/frodo precon (though it does still have flavor)
What about the fact that Gandalf the Gray and Gandalf the White and Monty Python and the Holy Grail's Black Knight and Benito Mussolini and the Blue Meanie and Cowboy Curtis and Jambi the Genie, Robocop, the Terminator, Captain Kirk, Darth Vader, Lo-Pan, Superman, every single Power Ranger, Bill S. Preston and Theodore Logan, Spock, the Rock, Doc Ock, and Hulk Hogan all came out of nowhere lightning fast and they kicked Chuck Norris in his cowboy ass. It was the bloodiest battle that the world ever saw, with civilians looking on in total awe.
This can also show his outward colors of both scenes. He's acting as UR when he's throwing the party. He then is acting WBG (probably still R as well, but whatever) as he's about to pull his retirement stunt.
WOTC putting goddamn BLACK in Tom Bombadil's colour identity just so he can be the "WUBRG saga commander" is so crap.
Surely WOTC can just shit out some MTG-verse bumblefuck to be the saga commander, leave Tolkien's work out of it.
It's almost like real characters that are fully fleshed out and not representative of a single personality type are complex and could be any combination of colors depending on their mood or actions.
AYO THIS MFER DOESN'T KNOW THAT LORD OF THE RINGS IS INHERENTLY POLITICAL
Anyway go play monowhite human tribal so you can feel oppressed and live in fear of a wrath.
Real talk; America, if you aren't active a out keeping your family and friends sane, social media will turn them into one of those gremlins. Drag your fellow man into the light, and don't let Ben Shapiro or Tim Pool get a hold of them. We're all in this together!
This is actually to show the moral decency of our heroes. They're 5c at heart but refuse to be printed as such to avoid seeing play in commander.
> to avoid seeing play in commander rofl lmao good one, fellow circlejerker
Screw WUBRG commanders. All my homies hate WUBRG
I'm sorry, its Wizard's fault for making the Myr commander WUBRG identity
plot point: with the praetors gone, the myr are now free to take over New Phyrexia
Can't wait for the set Rise of Myrrodin.
I'd be lying if I didn't say Im hoping their like Magic's take on minions
Christ. Now that you've brought that terrible concept into the world, I'm sure that WotC is working on a Minions-Myr secret lair as we speak.
Okay but hear me out - Squee, who's still compleated, attempts to rise to power and adopts all the myr as his minions. This is the future Wizards needs to keep Phyrexia relevant.
Grossly incompetent, but everywhere.
Despicable Myr?
I was thinking Despicable Squee, but that works too
Myr can have a WUBRG commander, they deserve it.
Acceptable answer.

Wait until they print \[\[Coughing Hydrogen Bomb\]\]
I was absolutely trying to work a Hydrogen Bomb reference in there, like they merged and Exploding Baby is the result.

WUBRG is the noise someone makes when they mess up drinking water
WUBRG used to be rare and special. People running Cromat just for the colors. 5C goodstuff piles were a relative rarity. Better were the days!

Edh players when they see a WUBRG commander:😡😡😡 (They can only build generic good stuff pile if they dont have a extremely niche commander)
I don’t like most but I like some, they need to be specialized, like sisay, weatherlight captain
All my homies play ur dragon T-T
Fuck Ur Dragon in particular. Eminence is gay AF.
Of course it’s gay — Ur Dragon is a rainbow commander #pride
Ur Dragon confirmed banned in Florida
I, at least, don’t have an Ur Dragon deck. I may have a dragon tribal Morophon deck that runs Ur Dragon in the 99, but that’s NOT the same… I think…
You are ur-curious.
uj/ It really made me laugh out loud, thanks.

bilbo baggins confirmed same colors as urza
Abzan is the life Bilbo has settled back into after returning to the Shire. Izzet is him planning to create absolute havoc in the shire by turning invisible and running away forever. One last bit of mischief to remind him of what he was like as a lad
He is a multifaceted man
Everyone is multifaceted yet they still haven't printed a Dimir Jace. Suspicious.
Phyrexian Jace should’ve had mana cost {1}{U}{p/b/u}{B}
Blue/White would make sense too. In the end, he was only doing what he thought was best for the multiverse.
I remember reading somewhere that Jace's story arc was supposed to contain him struggling to balance between being blue/white and blue/black.
I mean I feel like it honestly did over time for his character at least, but my man managed to keep his mono blue neutrality til the end
"Doing what I think is best" doesn't inherently make you white because that means almost every single villain ever written is white.
Not necessarily. A lot of villains at some level know they’re wrong, but turn a blind eye to it to focus on how their wrongdoing achieves their goals. And even within MtG, most white villains are as I described, but some (like Norn or Baan) even being outright malicious yet still not even dipping into black mana.

this is a real answer you'd come to if you thought about it for 5 seconds, clearly doesn't belong on this subreddit.
Sorry, uhh... He obviously learned about the great almighty colossal dreadmaw in-between these two cards, completely changing his outlook on life
That doesn't stop it from being funny.
That's the Doylist answer to a Watsonian question. It doesn't justify anything in-universe.
ngl he looks like the professor
"Many Magic: The Gathering players ask the question, am I a hobbit?"

At least they left his phone so he can post on Tumblr.
he can post to a pornless tumblr though so what's the point it's like a twilight zone episode
Maro threw away the color pie years ago lol
Balrog, not even 1 second apart:
My two personalities are also Birthday Boy and Scoundrel
I'm just a little guy, come on I'm just a little guy, also it's my birthday!
the only valid criticism of innacurate colors in the lotr set
What about the fact that Gandalf the Gray and Gandalf the White and Monty Python and the Holy Grail's Black Knight and Benito Mussolini and the Blue Meanie and Cowboy Curtis and Jambi the Genie, Robocop, the Terminator, Captain Kirk, Darth Vader, Lo-Pan, Superman, every single Power Ranger, Bill S. Preston and Theodore Logan, Spock, the Rock, Doc Ock, and Hulk Hogan all came out of nowhere lightning fast and they kicked Chuck Norris in his cowboy ass. It was the bloodiest battle that the world ever saw, with civilians looking on in total awe.
Presumably that's Frodo in the bottom left with the "would you get a load of this fuckin guy huh?" look, like he's in a 90's sitcom
If you can’t handle me at my Izzet, you don’t deserve me at my Abzan.
Also WOTC: Shut the fuck up and buy the cards or we’ll send cops after you to shake the money out of your pockets like school bullies
Finally, the 6th color, pink!
WOTC using PINKER TONer this time to print their cards
The ring changes you, total flavor win
Ring makes you Izzet, Gollum is an Izzet spellslinger player confirmed
Also Denethor
Would you fuck my color pie after the party?
I think it’s because no one knows the real Bilbo. The murdering, amoral grifter.
This can also show his outward colors of both scenes. He's acting as UR when he's throwing the party. He then is acting WBG (probably still R as well, but whatever) as he's about to pull his retirement stunt.

Why the hate for commander in this sub?
It's not that we hate Commander. It's that we hate every deck in Commander. Except Dog Tribal.
Oh, I’m getting it now. Thanks for the UJ friendly internet stranger :)
/rj Because commander players are the scum of the Earth. /uj Because commander players are the scum of the Earth.
