If or When: A phyrexian-tribal commander?

amateurauteur said: @elderdragonmaster55 I think it’s unlikely that it’s WAR 2, they’ll probably want to take steps to differentiate it from that, since they’re emphasizing the non-planeswalkers in marketing. I would say the set has 10 walkers tops (still a lot, but probably no uncommons).

elderdragonmaster55 said: @amateurauteur well there 4 things that make it hard 1. Both themes have to be 5-color 2. Phyrexian tribal in Mom likely might include splashing of proliferate and toxic # (no guarantees) 3. It’s likely war the spark 2 so they might splash planeswalkers matter again like last time with the legends matter.

amateurauteur said: @nonbinarynobara Also the “every character in Dominaria is Dominarian” bit is kind of disingenuous because Phyrexian isn’t just a “nationality” but refers to a physical THING you are - that thing just happens to have great diversity.

amateurauteur said: @nonbinarynobara Never did I say they WOULDN’T make tribal support, and I agree that the EXISTENCE of the type is evidence that there will be tribal themes, but I contested that the majority of creatures being (x type) in a set necessarily means there will be tribal support soon. It’s just that almost all the creatures are Phyrexian since it’s New Phyrexia.

power-coded said: @amateurauteur almost every character in Dominaria is Dominarian. By your logic, how come they don’t all have that in their type line? Not to mention that dozens of old cards have been errata’d to be Phyrexians when they weren’t before, like Brudiclad. Why would they go to the effort if they weren’t making some sort of tribal support?

amateurauteur said: @elderdragonmaster55 Tribal themes aren’t the hardest thing ever, but I can see the issue with making it work in five colors.

amateurauteur said: @nonbinarynobara The reason we have “Phyrexian” in so many typelines in ONE is because, shocker, most creatures on New Phyrexia are Phyrexians.

power-coded said: I mean, if we weren’t getting one then I’d seriously question the inclusion of “Phyrexian” in the type lines of so many ONE creatures. Only way that really works is if we’re expecting some kind of lord, as I doubt it was all done specifically for the Seedcore.
