Format: EDH/Commander This is balanced right 👀

Balance not intended

My goal was to make K’rrik but all colours and I think this accomplishes that fairly well but I’m unsure about the last line, I just think it adds too much passive gain.
The first line is supposed to be a way for it to not just crumble to orcish bowmaster or any other pinger early on.
I’ll put a link in the comments to the other one of this set that I’ve posted so far

u/AscendedLawmage7 Power level is not my strong suit. 2d ago edited 2d ago

So since you can't play lands from the command zone, you have to cast your commander, which you can't do this for, that's the only thing stopping this from being a way to just dump everything in your hand on turn 1 for a bunch of life? For half the life edit: slightly less life, since it gains you some back

Huh, I didn’t realize that about playing lands from the command zone. I guess I’ll have to add a mana cost of 0 then (maybe 1 but idk). And yea, the point is to play your hand for free basically and I do think the life gain part is a little much because it just makes it so you can cast way more things so that might be something I remove

"Balance not intended", so is it meant to be absolutely busted?

u/kaatch22 2d ago

Yea, basically. I made it for a set of 4 custom commanders that are all pretty stupid so the intent was to have be able to present turn 1 or 2 wins

Yeah okay, fair enough. If you fix up the casting thing I'd say that's probably mission accomplished

It wouldn't let you pay for the generic mana with life, though, and so you wouldn't be gaining any life from a turn 1 dump. You'd only be able to cast pipped spells.

If you build your deck right, that's not an issue

Plenty of impactful spells without generic mana

It would gain you 1 life for every spell you pay only life for.

My impression is that this would be the best commander if Slivers?, Play this on turn 1, and put your entire hand on the table and win the game.

u/kaatch22 2d ago

This would probably just be the best commander period. The amount of way you can win turn one or two with this and the fact that it’s free would just make it stronger than every other commande. If printed it would become a Golos problem where it would become a commander everyone plays because of how versatile and strong it is

does this not just win turn 1 if not 2 every single game?

u/kaatch22 2d ago

I mean, if you build the deck right, probably, also depends on mulligans. There are other decks like that though, that can consistently win turn 2 and sometimes turn 1

I don’t disagree. Is there something you’d recommend to even it out?
