Wizards is REALLY opening up deck-design space with the new wedge legends!  Karador seems tailor-made for a Soulshift based spirit deck and now Damia seems, to me at least, designed to support a thresh hold/ madness EDH deck.  Thanks guys

P.S. One With Nothing!

Love this girl so much.  BUG is my favorite color combination, and now I don't have to pack the deck with all those pesky draw spells.  I ALWAYS have a full grip!  Also gives me a use for my Mindslicer .

I was thinking some graveyard recursion theme, but still.. bravo. Damia is going to be a lot of fun.

Cool card. Like the article says, anything that allows "draw back up to seven" is cool. Only problem is, if someone plays a Winter Orb or something like that and you don't have discard-enablers already, it'll take you a very, very long time to recover because you can only draw cards as fast as you can play spells...

Still, a good card for this format, and it looks fun. However, I'm more curious about something else in this article:

Plus, Damia is not just a fun new card in the blue-black-green "Devour  for Power" deck. That deck is more focused around the graveyard-feeding  powers of a legendary being called The Mimeoplasm than around the  tank-filling capabilities of Damia.



Really? I figured that the white-green-black deck was more graveyard-focused. That's what those colors have in common, after all, and Karador didn't hurt that impression. Are the decks really built around the commander so much that they ignore what the colors themselves do?

Man, now I am starting to want the BUG deck over the WBG deck.  The Mimeoplasm was already a pretty good card but add this card on top of that and the deck seems even better.  I really need to see the entire decklist though before I make any judgements.

Yes, they do.  There's a half-dozen or so Commander games going on at any point, so you don't have to wait more than a few minutes to get in a game.

Thanks for your question, Justin!



This is a strange thing for Doug to say, considering he didn't answer the question at all.
