Board Wipes. Most of the wipes fit the Politics theme, but some are better than others. I like Tragic Arrogance here, even Promise of Loyalty despite not letting you choose who survives. Deathbringer Regent seems just overpriced here to me. Last but not least, there are a few mechanics in Magic that let each player vote for the outcome of a spell’s ability. There have been a few recommendations in this article that try to take advantage of the political aspects of Commander. If you are on a budget (or if you just want to add more dual lands yet), these lands can offer a similar amount of consistency for a fraction of the cost: Breenais the perfect leader for this Political precon, so we're keeping her in the command zone when we do our upgrades. I think Felisa should have benefited from tokens dying as well being a 3mc commander. I could be wrong but I can vouch for her being a choice for Silverquill as she can function in every part of the game unlike Breena. Maybe someone has found a way to make her fringe at least.The cards here are mandatory group hug effects. That's just bad cards in the end as you're helping your opponent way too much. Precon should have flexible card. Duelist heritage is good example as it gives you option to give double strike on your own creature or opponent creature. The word "may" is what most cards should have in their card text here. If you are trying to focus on Group Hug and/or Pillowfort, you don’t really need to include any of the cards that have to do with +1/+1 counters. Similarly, Teysa, Envoy of Ghosts, Magister of Worth, Bloodthirsty Blade, and the Vows and Curses can all go. These are cool cards, but they don’t really work very well with Group Hug. 2. +1/+1 Counters (5-8) Soul Shatter , Kaya’s Guile , Heliod’s Intervention , Vanquish the Horde , and Toxic Deluge will give you boatloads of card advantage when they sweep away whatever threats opponents throw at you. Blind Obedience isn’t exactly removal, but it slows down opposing forces and buys time with life gain. The main Silverquill building is Grandloft Hall, a vast train-station-like space with shafts of light streaking in from the enchanted windowpanes far above. Grandloft is filled with balconies, loges, booths, daises, and other spaces where orators can perform their craft. Inklings flit around the high windowed ceiling, and enchanted spotlights automatically focus on any mage who's using powerful magic.

Vainglories are Silverquill mages who use words to inspire or reproach, which can cause intense changes in their target's emotional state. [5] Eloquents, a highly sought-after position for Silverquill graduates, are the supreme arbiters of the cosmos and enforcers of all magical contracts on Arcavios. [6] Colors Dichotomy [ | ] Since I had pulled out a handful of removal, I wanted to be sure to replace it. Council's Judgment and Merciless Eviction were perfect fits in this regard. If two or more free draws per turn cycle seems great for a three-mana W/B commander, you’re right! Tymna the Weaver remains one of the strongest options in the color for a reason. Tying this powerful value engine to your opponents’ combat decisions isn’t enough to scupper that potential, but I suspect it will make Breena more polarizing — and this goes for all the other politics-based effects in the precon, too. Third, I am not considering any budget restrictions when making these recommendations. I only want to brainstorm as many fun ideas as possible. Unfortunately, this means that some of the cards I recommend might be outside of some people’s budget ranges. If they are available, I will also do my best to include budget options for a card or effect.One extra consideration when modifying the precon is the option to switch out Breena for one of the legends included in the 99. In particular, if you’re de-emphasizing the political theme, then Breena feels a touch out of place — why not try someone new? FELISA, FANG OF SILVERQUILL Nowthat we have the ratios in mind, let's take a look at the individual cards, highlighting the strongest and weakest in each category. card draw; Breena, the Demagogue, Keen Duelist, Secret Rendezvous, Ambition's Cost, Stinging Study, Coveted Jewel Everything except Orzhov Advokist, that is. That one can stay because it adds counters to your creatures. Other than that, you should probably take out Vows and Curses as well for this one. 3. Combat Manipulation (4-7)
