The Shaman is OK and ironically gives GR Monsters a new win condition, but I'm super-interested in the Command cycle.

That shaman is hilariously bad, but I hope they push the power level on at least one of these commands since they're not monocolored spells.

I don't think the Shaman is bad if your deck is basically all creatures, Fyndhorn Elder is a fine card. If not though, yeah it's pretty useless.

I wonder if they'll ban it, because Sheldon hates Biorhythm but the Shaman gives you plenty of warning before he potentially kills off some players.

Yes, but firstly I see no reason why every mythic has to be better than every common, and secondly I think it still might be playable if the right deck pops up.

Elvish Mystic can't win the game on the spot against low-creature control decks?

Not every mythic has to be constructed caliber, but that ability certainly feels mythic. Maybe they could print it on a rare, but I don't know.

Those intro pack dragons are much closer to playable than I'd expect from looking at the GW one. I mean except the GW one.

No no. Command back your snapcaster, snapcaster back your cryptic command, counter their noncreature spell (ideally a command of their own) and draw a bunch of cards.

Awww yeah. Commands commanding commands for days.

an 11 mana activated Biorhythm that you can't always use? :geno: I don't entirely agree with Grimace's perception of the power level, but honestly that card doesn't feel mythic to me.

I feel like Biorhythm would've been printed at Mythic today, so this doesn't feel like a stretch to me.

Yeah exactly, it's a guy who remembers how to do biorhythm, it's cool, if not particularly powerful.

Also in limited it ramps you from 3 to 6 and 3 for a 2/3 blocks morphs comfortably.

It costs 11 mana, he can't use his own mana to trigger it and the ability even being good is totally conditional on you having better creatures than your opponent. The card is green, green has the worst removal ever. Even if you rip it out in a Nykthos deck, if you got to 11 you were already winning and probably would rather have something better on the battlefield.

That Shaman's ability is spectacularly useless, but there's going to be a time where a Timmy player gets it to work against someone at his LGS playing a ridiculous control deck, and then we'll all get to see a news report about a murder at FNM.
