Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite You might be wondering why its taken so long to get to an Elesh Norn card on a best Mono-White Commanders list, because the Phyrexian is definitely a popular card
Savage Ventmaw Since you need a lot of mana to cast all your spells in the deck, Savage Ventmaw is a way to accomplish that
We got quite a few really interesting new mechanics with this set
The entire table should know who the monarch is since essentially all their strategies revolve around them
To determine the total cost of a spell, start with the mana cost or alternative cost you're paying (such as a flashback cost), add any cost increases (such as kicker costs), then apply any cost reductions (such as that of this ability)
It's handy for combo strategies, builds your Storm count, pumps Prowess creatures, puts an Instant into the graveyard to get you towards Delirium or enlarge a Tarmogoyf, and gets you closer to Threshold or pays for Delve costs And sometimes you would rather have cards on top of your deck than in your hand
