FMK Urza, Mishra, Yawgmoth

Fuck: Yawgmoth because... as awful as he is, the sexy goth doctor getup and Phyrexian association are like.... idk. something. they do something

Marry: Mishra. Both the brothers suck, but if forced to choose I am team Mishra. His aesthetic is better at least and I guess his backstory is marginally more sympathetic ?????? It's like picking between left and right Twix but they're both made of actual war crimes. Oh and he got compleated so there's that

Kill: Urza. Oh my GOD does Warcrimes Georg deserve to take the brunt of my fury. Also the dipshit was racist to Xantcha her entire life and that's an unforgivable crime!! I WOULD FUCKING ENJOY KILLING THIS OLD MAN

The Brother's War buy a box promo was originally going to be an exclusive Ashnod card, but instead it was changed to something less silly.

It's been a while since our last Budget Commander Sleeper, and this one isn't a recent release, though it ties in with one. In fact, it hails from all the way back in 2017, when Wizards released a set of tribal preconstructed decks for their yearly commander release. Those were infamous for the Eminence ability that adorned its face commanders, and shaping up tribal decks for years to come.

The card I'm gonna talk to you about today was made for that environment, and it's immediately obvious. Heirloom Blade is a tribal equipment, it says so right on there, it wants creatures in your deck to share a creature type!

The card is actually relatively popular in a variety of tribal decks, ones that need little excuse to run an equipment or have their tribal creatures die. We can see a similar mindset from Wizards of the Coast, that didn't miss occasions to reprint it in tribal precons across the years, in the Human deck of C20, the Rogue deck of Zendikar Rising and the Dragon deck of Forgotten Realms. This constant reprinting has, incidentally kept the card very affordable.

In the Brothers' War set, less than six months ago, WotC released Transmogrant's Crown. People were fast to identify it for what it is: a fixed Skullclamp. It's far from Skullclamp's power, but Skullclamp is a card banned in every competitive format that bans cards, so it might still be decent in decks that really want the effect. The extra downside in commander is that black mana symbol restricting the card to deck with black. That assessment is correct, Transmogrant's Crown is a very fine magic card.

You can probably see where I'm going with this. Heirloom Blade is just a mostly better Transmogrant's Crown. It costs 1 more mana to cast, but the same to equip (one mana), but it can go in any deck, and give you an extra +1/+1. +3/+1 for equip 1 is actually a whole lot of power and toughness, one that's hard to match, and one that'll incentivize your opponent to kill the equipped creature... And draw you a card.

"But!" You'll tell me, "That only works for tribal decks!" Well, I don't believe so. While it is text on the card, if your deck has a reasonable number of creatures, there should be overlap with almost every single one of them, with the race/class system of creature types having common repeats. Humans by themselves represent almost a quarter of all creatures in magic. The majority of creatures are either a human, elf, zombie, vampire, goblin, merfolk, dragon, angel, wizard, shaman, soldier, warrior... And many of them are a couple of those. Even in a non-tribal deck, a Heirloom Blade trigger will have multiple hits for 90-95% of creatures and creature tokens, just incidentally.

And that restriction is actually an upside! Because of it, Heirloom Blade will always hit a nonland when it hits, guaranteeing you a draw into more action, that can also pick up the blade!

I've tried it out and always have been impressed by it. If you're a non-tribal deck that wants anything to do with equipments, death triggers, power or anything of the sort, I encourage you to try Heirloom Blade. Depending on the deck, maybe even over skullclamp! (Though probably alongside Skullclamp in most decks.) Probably over Transmogrant's Crown too!

didn't we leave off in Innistrad with Sorin still missing his grandfather bc Olivia charm-married him or something. I'm just saying the fact Sorin was offhandedly mentioned in Brother's War was funny bc how did that conversation go?

Sorin: what do you want

Jace: phyrexians are back. we could really use your-

Sorin: Phyrexians are wh-?! damn it all I can't. busy

Jace: .....busy. busy how

Sorin: bitch stole my grandfather

Jace: (remembering what the rest ofthe gatewatch told him about that) oh. that

Sorin: YES THAT. Now I'll prepare Innistrad in case of a potential influx of Phyrexians... gods damn it all can NOTHING go right in recent years?!

Jace:

Jace: so do you know where nahiri is or-

this may not be the best card in brothers war, but it's definitely got the highest comedy ceiling

I can't wait for the day I leave all my mana open, move straight to combat, and swing out, at which point the defending player casts teferi's protection, and then during second main I lay this down

"what's that? permanents can't phase in? oh no! well. hope you have some removal! what's that? oh your lands can't phase back in? gee I sure hope that removal is free! or that it won't take too long to pay for it! oh no!"

that will be the day I die, and the official cause will be laughter-induced asphyxiation

urza in brothers war was like "i just wanted to build my little machines 🥺 but i was forced to do imperialism 🥺"

and then in every book after he would see a war crime and be like "is anyone else gonna do that?" and not wait for an answer

though i gotta say, if they ARE (as I suspect and very much hope) going for "this is understandable but excessive, and if you do this you are no longer being the good guy you see yourself as trying to be"

then i have to admit "i hope your ENTIRE HIVE MIND feels every terrible thing I'm about to do to you" is a clever way of being uniquely creepy about it
