Pokémon TCG: Scarlet & Violet – Temporal Forces | The Coolest Cards We Pulled

New Post has been published on https://thedigitalinsider.com/pokemon-tcg-scarlet-violet-temporal-forces-the-coolest-cards-we-pulled/

Pokémon TCG: Scarlet & Violet – Temporal Forces | The Coolest Cards We Pulled

The Pokémon Trading Card Game: Scarlet & Violet series rolls on with the latest expansion. This newest set, Temporal Forces, continues the Ancient and Future conventions introduced in Paradox Rift, giving players new strategies featuring a variety of easily playable Basic Pokémon.

The Pokémon Company sent along a bunch of booster packs for us to open to see what we could pull. The set is one of the smaller recent expansions, but still large by the long-established standard of Pokémon TCG. Players picking up Temporal Forces can expect to pull from a pool of more than 160 cards. In addition to the additional Ancient and Future Pokémon, Temporal Forces reintroduces Ace Spec cards, first implemented during the Black & White series of cards. Those Ace Spec cards were some of the more unique cards I pulled, but the full-art Pokémon and ex cards most wowed me; I particularly love the Arbok and Minccio full-arts I grabbed.

Check out my favorites I pulled from Pokémon Trading Card Game’s Scarlet & Violet – Temporal Forces expansion below!

Pokémon Trading Card Game: Scarlet & Violet – Temporal Forces is available now. For more Pokémon TCG content, including galleries of past expansions, interviews, and the latest news, visit our hub by clicking the banner below.

I am not immune to Bulbasaur propaganda.

I was at a card show earlier today, and while I didn't have as many bigger trades compared to other shows, sometimes the smaller ones bring more joy to collecting. I traded a Paradox Rift Garchomp SIR for the Topps Bulbasaur, and someone who was asking about the burger king Bulbasaur looking to sell I actually traded a couple graded cards (mid-grade Mewtwo EX and a CGC 10 Japanese full art Galarian Clodshire) to get it.

One of the things I've gotten better at in recent years is better appreciating trades, especially in not getting hung up too long on "shoulda/woulda/coulda" mindset of "but will it be worth more down the road?" Not perfect at it, but certainly better at it now than when I focused more on baseball/sports cards.

Random Commander Challenge: Rona, Disciple of Gix

This summer, I decided to try something new. Inspired, in part, by Abe Sargent’s articles, along with my general desire to try new things & stretch my deckbuilding skills, I decided to challenge myself to build a new EDH deck, chosen at random, every month. I’ll use EDHRec’s randomizer, pick the first Legendary Creature the wheel lands on (with some options to veto, as below), then give myself 2 weeks to build it, and 1 month to play it before I take it apart. Sounds fun, right?!

Here are the rules I’m using:

I have to take the first Legendary Creature the randomizer lands on, but I will skip any Legends I’ve built before, and I will give myself an optional veto for any Legends that are a major presence in my playgroup.

I cannot look at any decklists or read any articles about the Commander as I’m coming up with my list, but EDHRec is okay to see most common cards.

I have a target budget of around $25 for new cards. That doesn’t mean the deck needs to be “budget,” if I’m using expensive cards I already own. But I’m not trying to go nuts buying new cards. This also means there’s an upper limit on the cost of the Commander. Like, I’m not building a Rasputin Dreamweaver deck.

The target is 75% power level. Thematic and fun, but strong enough to make it in non-competitive playgroups.

So with that in mind, for my July challenge, my first spin of the wheel landed on Rona, Disciple of Gix. I love this as my first challenge. Rona has a strong mechanical identity and tons of flavor, meaning this was going to be a ton of fun.

Art: Tommy Arnold

Theme

For Rona, the first thing that jumps out is that she cares about Historic, which makes her pretty unique, mechanically speaking. So the first theme I decide upon was to make sure the deck contained plenty of Artifacts, Sagas, and Legends. Of those, Artifacts are by far the deepest, so it made sense to land on Artifacts as the primary theme, with Historic as the overarching umbrella.

As a secondary idea, I liked the idea of focusing on the idea of Rona as a disciple of an ancient power. Sadly, there is no Gix card to run, but there are plenty of other options that convey the same vibe. And fortunately, many of them are also Artifacts, like Mishra’s Bauble (conveniently appropriate, given the art), Mishra’s Self-Replicator, & Claws of Gix. Those, plus several of the Legendary Creatures (including Urza himself), filled out the sort of “Ancient” feeling I was going for.

Finally, and following from the “Ancient” theme, I also got hooked on the idea of Marit Lage’s Slumber. Given how Modern Horizons was on the brain, and the fact that it’s Legendary, and therefore Historic, this seemed to make perfect sense, and led me to a tertiary theme of Snow. Sure, Gix wasn’t really involved in the Ice Age story, but it still seems to fit the feel of the deck. So Snow Lands and a couple ways to wake up Marit Lage rounded out the deck.

Card Groups

With a deck like this, there’s tons of overlap within categories, but generally, here are the card groupings I focused on:

Mana Rocks - All the usual suspects are here: Sol Ring, Dimir Signet, Talisman of Dominance, Fellwar Stone, etc. Of special note, I also added Mox Opal and Mox Amber, since having 0-cost Artifacts is essential to the “Storm” plan (see below). Also, Honor-Worn Shaku is a must in the deck, since it allows you to turn all your Legendary Creatures, Enchantments, and even Planeswalkers into mana dorks. All told, I have 13 rocks in the deck.

Value Artifacts/Eggs - These are cheap Artifacts that replace themselves. The ones that sacrifice themselves are great early value for Rona. Mishra’s Bauble, Mind Stone, Conjurer’s Bauble, Prophetic Prism, and Arcum’s Astrolabe all made the cut in this build.

Cost Reducers & Enablers - Etherium Sculptor, Jhoira’s Familiar, and Foundry Inspector all do amazing work, while Vedalken Archmage, Shimmer Myr, and Unwinding Clock all work together to keep things flowing.

Legendaries - I threw in Demonlord Belzenlok and Traxos, Scourge of Kroog for some Dominaria realness. From there, I also included Gonti, Lord of Luxury, Venser, Shaper Savant, Sidisi, Undead Vizier, Urza, Lord High Artificer, Sai, Master Thopterist, and Padeem, Consul of Innovation, which all synergize with the main themes in various ways, besides also being Historic.

Sagas & Planeswalkers - I wanted to make sure to throw in a few Sagas, so I included Phyrexian Scriptures, The Eldest Reborn, and The Antiquities War, the latter of which is particularly good in the deck and serves double duty as a draw engine and win condition. Sagas are great targets for Rona to reuse. For Planeswalkers, I added two Karns & two Tezzerets. Karn, Scion of Urza constructs are excellent in the deck, while Karn, the Great Creator can help get back your essential Artifacts if they get exiled. As for Tez, Tezzeret the Seeker is a must-have as a tutor, while Tezzeret, Master of the Bridge is recursion and ramp. And both of them also work as sneaky win cons.

Historic Matters - I already mentioned Traxos, but I’ve also really been loving Mishra’s Self-Replicator in this deck, as it can get out of hand really quick. I also included a copy of Cabal Paladin, which is a little on the jank side, but it works with the “Storm” path, as below.

Recursion & Flicker - Aside from the aforementioned Sagas & Walkers that also recur, I included Academy Ruins, Scrap Trawler, Myr Retriever, Skeleton Shard, and Silas Renn, Seeker Adept to help get back essential pieces, but you really don’t need much since Rona herself can recur. Additionally, I added in Crystal Shard and Deadeye Navigator, which can help reuse some of the excellent ETB abilities on creatures such as Rona, Venser, Urza, and Gonti, among others.

There’s obviously a little more to the deck than that. A couple tutors like Fabricate & Inventors’ Fair, a little extra removal a la Dead of Winter & Executioner’s Capsule, plus some must haves like Tormod’s Crypt, Claws of Gix, Hangarback Walker, and Mirrodin Beseiged, which works amazingly in both modes.

Win Conditions & Lines of Play

What I love about this deck is that there are so many different ways to win, but all of them work pretty well together. So even though it looks like there are too many different directions, they are all pretty harmonious. Here are the major paths:

Egg Storm - This is probably the closest the deck comes to a competitive angle. There are several cheap Artifacts in the deck, and with the cost-reducers, you can very easily get a hand full of Artifacts you can cast for free. From there, the key pieces to win are either Aetherflux Reservoir or Bolas’s Citadel (which work well together, I might add), or Cabal Paladin in a pinch. To help with this plan, I’ve also added Paradoxical Outcome, Hurkyl’s Recall, and Retract to go full storm mode.

Artifact Siege - The goal here is to go wide and make as many Artifacts as you can, then go nuts. Sai, Master Thopterist, Mirrodin Besieged, and Mishra’s Self-Replicator are the best at making tons of Artifacts. From there, you can win with the aforementioned Bolas’s Citadel, drain your opponents out with Tezzeret, Master of the Bridge, or turn them into a massive army with the final abilities of either The Antiquities War or Tezzeret the Seeker.

Mirrodin Besieged - This one’s pretty self-explanatory, as it literally has the win condition on the card. There will be times when you just naturally have a pile of Artifacts in the graveyard and can immediately start sniping people down. If you need to get Artifacts in your graveyard quickly, Ashnod’s Altar and Claws of Gix can help.

Marit Lage - Marit Lage isn’t technically a win-con, but a flying 20/20 will take people out relatively quickly, and it is possible to get her out Turn 2 in this deck with a god hand. That’s not super likely, but I have achieved it by Turn 4, and that is still pretty damn good. I have both paths in here, but Marit Lage’s Slumber is a little better, since you can get it back with Rona if the token gets removed. That said, you will need all snow basics to make it happen. I also have the classic Dark Depths/Thespian’s Stage combo, and Expedition Map to help put the pieces together.

Flicker - This one is mostly incidental, but it is a completely reasonable option. The key, as per usual with this strategy, is Deadeye Navigator, which can wreak havoc on your opponents when paired with the right creature on your side. For example, Deadeye + Urza = an army of Constructs, while Deadeye + Venser = Cyclonic Rift, and you can eventually keep the board entirely clean and then just start pecking in for damage. One final option is to flicker Marionette Master, create a massive army of Servos, which can be used to swarm or as sacrifice fodder to Ashnod’s Altar to drain out your opponent.

Sure, I could’ve streamlined it more around the Eggs win, but I didn’t want to do that, since (as mentioned), that’s not the point. As is, this deck has come incredibly close to winning a number of times, though I never actually scored a win, out of the 5 games I played with it.

Conclusion

So, I ended up going a touch over the budget, spending about $35 on new cards for the deck, such as Vedalken Archmage, Fabricate, and Retract, among other essentials. But overall, I was pretty much able to make do with cards I already had. That said, this is one deck that does really need some of the expensive cards to function, so I don’t know how well it would do as a true “budget” build.

The deck has been a blast to play, and I’d definitely recommend Rona as a fun alternative for people who are into Artifact decks but are looking to build something besides the ubiquitous Breya. Sometimes limitations are the best part, y’know?

All told, I loved this experiment, and I’m really excited to keep trying new commanders in this way!
