<p><em>I've got a big ol' blender!</em></p>
<p>This week, eh, let's pick another one.</p>
<p>(Post edited for brevity, clarity, and then some.)</p>
<hr />
<h2>HELLO, MIKE</h2>
<p><em>Hey, Mike!</em></p>
<p><em>Love your column and think I might finally have a good one of my own.</em></p>
<p><em>For context we have a regular weekly playgroup, usually between seven and twelve of us with a variety of decks hovering around the "optimized casual" zone. Players range from relative newbies to Magic veterans, but we're all fairly invested/entrenched.</em></p>
<p><em>Recently The Command Zone had an <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OSNV6224cHg&amp;pp=0gcJCdgAo7VqN5tD">episode about updating their deck-building template</a>, fairly basic stuff but the land count section was very interesting. The point was made that even with lax mulligan house rules, it's a strategic disadvantage to play too few lands because you could be mulliganing for other things than just enough lands like ramp or synergy pieces. </em></p>
<p><em>I started the conversation with our group and it quickly came around to -</em><br />
<em>1) Several players in our group realized they should be playing a few more lands</em><br />
<em>2) Our mulligans might be a bit too lax or leading to some feelings that folks might be taking advantage</em></p>
<p><em>Essentially folks tend to take any number for free mulligans until they have a decent opener.</em><br />
<em>After pointing out at least one specific person for this behavior, I decided to push for using the actual mulligan rules going forward. Unfortunately, I think I might have ruffled a few feathers, but I also don't want to ruin the "EDH and chill" vibe we usually try to go for.</em></p>
<p><em>Is it fair to be a bit peeved that some folks might be getting away with better late game top decks by playing less lands and taking advantage of our easy-going mull rules, even if unintentionally? Or <strong>am I the Bolas for trying to tighten up our group's play and get folks to follow the actual rules even if it might sometimes lead to more non-games occasionally?</strong></em></p>
<p><em>Thanks!</em></p>
<p><em>Mulligary</em></p>

<h2>HOWDY, MULLIGARY!</h2>
<p>Thank you for writing and asking me to weigh in on your story. As I mention every week, if folks don't write to me, there's no column, so if you, the reader, want to send me a story, whether it's your own or one from Reddit or a friend's, please send it to amithebolas@gmail.com and I'll get to it here.</p>
<p>Also, what do you think of this new look? Here I am on EDHREC! Pretty cool!</p>
<p>I linked to the episode of The Command Zone video - <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OSNV6224cHg&amp;pp=0gcJCdgAo7VqN5tD">here it is again</a> - because I think they're correct. I've known Rachel a long time and frankly, when she says something I listen. I say Rachel even though it's the CZ team that made the video because Rachel is <em>very adamant</em> throughout the video to the point of feeling like she's trying to reach through your screen to tell you to please play more lands.</p>
<p>So, even as a staunch believer in the 36-land count, I've made changes to most of my decks from my current roster, bringing them up to 37 or 38 lands and, <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/tifu/comments/2tdbig/tifu_by_enraging_the_parents_of_my_girlfriend_by/">let me tell you</a>, it has made a difference. Is that confirmation bias talking? I can't be 100% sure, but I'll say that some decks that struggled are no longer struggling as much and that's good enough for me. So a big thank you to The Command Zone for the updated template.</p>
<p>I think this is an oddly more complicated entry in the Am I The Bolas? series. It seems pretty straightforward, right? "Hey, these are the rules, let's play by the rules." Sounds good, yeah? But instead, there's a twinge of mucking up "the fun".</p>
<p>On one hand, we're playing a game that has rules, we should play with those rules because that's just how you play games. You learn the rules and you operate within them to have your fun. House rules are a real wrench in the system and it should be noted that we're discussing an entire format that came from "house rules". I'm not saying it's time to try out a bunch of house rules, but rather that they can lead to interesting innovations in the game.</p>
<p>That said, I've never loved the "mulligan until you have a keepable seven" thing. Some house rules are interesting in that they allow for some newness in the game, like allowing any planeswalker to be your commander (like in Oathbreaker) or allowing some rule zero changes in the playgroup like allowing a deck helmed by an acorn <em>Unfinity</em> legend. Mulligan until you have a keepable seven does have an impact on deckbuilding, consciously or subconsciously.</p>
<p>When my old playgroup allowed mulling until finding a good seven, we got to a point where some players were running 32 or 33 lands and the pregame was just a lot of shuffling and waiting for one of us to be ready while the rest were good to go.</p>
<p>I think there's room for leeway. I think the mulligan rules in Commander can be particularly brutal since for every turn you take, your opponents collectively get three. So if you're also starting with four cards in hand, good luck! I think there should be some sort of penalty for needing to mulligan so much. Then there's the whole fun police element of enforcing the mulligan rules that come into play here. The real hurdle.</p>
<p>If you proposing that the group adhere to the rules didn't ruffle so many feathers, there wouldn't really be much of a story here. Just a good conversation, solid argument, your desired outcome. It's because members of your group are attached to the Keepable Seven Mulligan that your request is creating tension. Why does it create that tension though? EDH is a social format that ends up being more about the hang for some folks and the lax rules and environment are part of the point and the experience. For some people, tightening up is part of the fun.</p>
<p>Another thing I'd like to point out is that mulligans in one-on-one formats can make or break those games. In Commander, in a more relaxed environment, less so. Of course, if two players mull to five and two others have a full grip, with more players involved, you would hope that there are safeguards within the dynamic of the pod that would regulate itself. Although, my column is evidence enough that threat assessment isn't something everybody is great at.</p>
<p>So here's what I propose. There are 12 of you in the group, maybe there's something to discussing this per pod and seeing how people feel. Ask them to do it for a game and see if they notice a difference. Or you could try to come up with a mulligan you can all be on board with. Maybe it's regular mulligan rules but you can't go under five and then do a Keepable Five Mulligan. Maybe another thing that works for your playgroup.</p>
<p>How do you find that out? Have the conversation with everybody. If this is something that's stuck in your craw, discuss it with the crew. Otherwise, I recommend leading by example. Take those mulligans to four. Play through them. Show your opponents that you're committed. Make your case about how the Keepable Seven Mull is like a reward for poor deckbuilding.</p>
<p>Not the Bolas. It's totally fair to want to play by the rules.</p>

<h2>LET'S (and I can't believe I get to say this) CHALLENGE SOME STATS!</h2>
<hr />
<h3>Overplayed</h3>
<hr />
<p><b>1. Mortify (39%)</b></p>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Mortify"></div></div>
<p>Let’s get an obvious one out of the way. We’re in Orzhov, baby! Things have come a long, long way. <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Despark" href="#" target="_blank">Despark</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>, <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Generous Gift" href="#" target="_blank">Generous Gift</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>, and <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Anguished Unmaking" href="#" target="_blank">Anguished Unmaking</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> show up on <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Thalisse, Reverent Medium" href="#" target="_blank">Thalisse, Reverent Medium</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>’s page for good reason.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></p>
<p><span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Mortify" href="#" target="_blank">Mortify</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> feels difficult to justify. The aforementioned cards hit a higher diversity of targets, sometimes even exiling. Heck, even the drawback on <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Generous Gift" href="#" target="_blank">Generous Gift</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> can be unintended value if we need to target one of our lands late game at an end step before untapping to swing with an extra 3/3 and a 1/1 flying Spirit token if our commander is out.</p>
<p><span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Mortify" href="#" target="_blank">Mortify</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> is multi-colored, does not exile, and does not target artifacts, planeswalkers, or lands. When considering our spot removal, this should be lower, in my opinion.</p>
<p><strong>2. Dramatic Finale (33%) </strong></p>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Dramatic Finale"></div></div>
<p>Believe me, I want <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Dramatic Finale" href="#" target="_blank">Dramatic Finale</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> to be really good here.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></p>
<p>An anthem that only buffs tokens for four colored pips that nets us a 3/2 flyer if a nontoken creature <em>we</em><i> control</i> dies, but only triggers once per turn has a lot more speed bumps than utility for my taste.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></p>
<p><span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Thalisse, Reverent Medium" href="#" target="_blank">Thalisse, Reverent Medium</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> isn’t Rakdos. We’re not doing the graveyard-<span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Cauldron Dance" href="#" target="_blank">Cauldron Dance</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>-type shenanigans or resurrecting creature cards a ton here. Thalisse makes tokens that either swing or get used as resources. The nontoken rider here particularly stinks for Thalisse decks. Sure, I can get on board with an anthem for tokens that also makes tokens, but man, if it triggered multiple times a turn per nontoken creature, or triggered once a turn no matter if the creature were a token or not, I would say 33% inclusion would make sense. Here, I see this as a flavor pick, a pet card, or somebody really needs <em>Devotion</em> for a <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx" href="#" target="_blank">Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>. I mean, <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Field of Souls" href="#" target="_blank">Field of Souls</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> is right there! Oh, man, I just remembered that we only get a single buffed 2/1 flyer after a board wipe <i>if </i>we controlled a nontoken creature, and even if we had a bunch of them. This one gets me riled up!</p>
<p><strong>3. Geist-Honored Monk (19%)</strong></p>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Geist-Honored Monk"></div></div>
<p>The Monk enters the battlefield, then makes two tokens. With our commander out, that means four tokens total! But then this thing just sits there like a big beat stick with vigilance.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></p>
<p>I can see the reasoning, but I don’t think it’s strong. At one more mana, <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Grave Titan" href="#" target="_blank">Grave Titan</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> gets us two 2/2 Zombies when it ETBs and attacks, and that's great even without Thalisse in play, and super spicy when she is! In a deck where the token creation is most valuable, I can understand wanting a payoff that isn’t a swarm, but this Monk gets chump blocked for days, and heaven forbid an opponent has a deathtoucher on board to block it.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></p>
<hr />
<h2>Underplayed</h2>
<hr />
<p><b>4. Spirit Bonds (16%)</b></p>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Spirit Bonds"></div></div>
<p>Here’s a shocker: all of my picks for 'Underplayed' are about protecting our commander and other key creatures. This card just happens to allow us to make a token when we cast our nontoken pals. This card comes down early, is innocuous enough, and sometimes a single activation can be enough to swing things in our favor. Even just the threat of activation could be enough! I see this card in 16% of decks and fully believe it should be higher up. It’s on-theme, it’s protection, and it generates tokens. What more could you want?</p>
<p><b>5. Malakir Rebirth / Malakir Mire (10%)</b></p>
<div class="edhrecp__cards side-by-side"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Malakir Rebirth"></div></div>
<p><span class="edhrecp__link side-by-side"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Malakir Rebirth" href="#" target="_blank">Malakir Rebirth</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> deserves a slot in every black deck, full stop. No matter the deck, you’ve always got at least one creature worth protecting in the command zone. If there’s nothing worth protecting, then boom, land drop. <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Thalisse, Reverent Medium" href="#" target="_blank">Thalisse, Reverent Medium</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> is important to keep around, but if not her, maybe that <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Grim Hireling" href="#" target="_blank">Grim Hireling</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> deserves a save. Maybe we sacrifice our <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Grave Titan" href="#" target="_blank">Grave Titan</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> in response to removal after hitting it with Rebirth and - what do you know - two more tokens and then two more after that if we’ve got our general out. I think this card rules.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></p>
<p><b>6.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>Fanatical Devotion (7%)</b></p>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Fanatical Devotion"></div></div>
<p>We’re going to have a lot of disposable tokens to sacrifice. We’re bound to have a few creatures worth saving from a board wipe that doesn’t have the “no regeneration” rider on it. I love love love this card.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></p>
<hr />
<h2>Sleepers</h2>
<hr />
<p><b>7. Gruesome Fate (21 decks)</b></p>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Gruesome Fate"></div></div>
<p>Do you like <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Harsh Sustenance" href="#" target="_blank">Harsh Sustenance</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> but want to kill <em>all</em> your opponents at once? Try <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Gruesome Fate" href="#" target="_blank">Gruesome Fate</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>. Sure, you don’t get the life gain, but that doesn’t matter when you resolve this with 30 creatures on board.</p>
<p><b>8. Siege Zombie (0%)</b></p>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Siege Zombie"></div></div>
<p>This was one of the black cards from <em>Innistrad: Midnight Hunt</em> that stood out to me. Have you ever been in a standoff against a pillow fort deck or a rivaling token swarm or a three-player game where, if someone makes a move against one player, they’ve handed the game to the one they ignored? <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Siege Zombie" href="#" target="_blank">Siege Zombie</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> has you covered. If <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Ghostly Prison" href="#" target="_blank">Ghostly Prison</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> is annoying, just tap the tokens to sting opponents. They don’t even need haste! <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Drumbellower" href="#" target="_blank">Drumbellower</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> says hello!</p>
<p><b>9. Kalitas, Traitor of Ghet (0%)</b></p>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Kalitas, Traitor of Ghet"></div></div>
<p>Look, I’m hardly the first person to say "Leave my graveyard alone!" but it’s exactly because of that fact that I think this card rules. Graveyard hate that rewards you with tokens is huge. This card has never disappointed when I’ve gotten it on board!</p>
<p><b>10. Curse of Conformity (0%)</b></p>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Curse of Conformity"></div></div>
<p>The last one is a combo piece. For those of you who know me, you know that I like an engine. I like something that gets going after a ton of pieces are in place and things really start humming. That said, I don’t really like infinite combos, so I hesitated to include this card. The only reason I did is because this card is meant to be a really silly Curse, and Curses are usually for your opponents - but this one is different. If we Curse ourselves in a <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Thalisse, Reverent Medium" href="#" target="_blank">Thalisse, Reverent Medium</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> deck, it turns all our nonlegendary 1/1s into 3/3s that also for some reason lose their creature type. This is great against a tribal deck going off, I reckon.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></p>
<p>Enter <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Requiem Angel" href="#" target="_blank">Requiem Angel</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>, one of my pet cards. This magnificent Angel creates a 1/1 Spirit token with flying whenever another non-Spirit creature we control - token or otherwise - dies. Paired with the <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Curse of Conformity" href="#" target="_blank">Curse of Conformity</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> any free sacrifice outlet gives us infinite enters- and leaves-the-battlefield triggers, not to mention whatever effect the sacrifice outlet has (do I hear a <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Phyrexian Altar" href="#" target="_blank">Phyrexian Altar</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>?). Finish the combo off with a <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Corpse Knight" href="#" target="_blank">Corpse Knight</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> or a <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Zulaport Cutthroat" href="#" target="_blank">Zulaport Cutthroat</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> and we’ve won ourselves a game with a minimum of four cards. Pretty fair, right? And yes, this could all be said for <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Divine Visitation" href="#" target="_blank">Divine Visitation</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>, which sees play in nearly half of Thalisse decks, but if you’re using it as a combo piece instead of a beater generator, it’s pretty cool to pull out a card that people don’t recognize! Besides, a little redundancy in EDH ain’t a bad thing.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></p>
