Gavin Verhey keeps the hype around Commander Legends going in today’s episode of Good Morning Magic by making the first part of a Q&A for the latest set.
Verhey went to Twitter for today’s questions and covers a variety of topics. Some things he touches on in the video include:
- Some cards designed for Commander Legends that got moved and changed were Tahngarth and Gerrard, who ended up in Commander 2019.
- Verhey handed off the file of Commander Legends with ally-colored Confluences, but they didn’t make the final file.
- Partner worked better and was less overpowered by keeping the cards with it to a single color. The main issue with partner was with the cards being multi-colored and allowing decks to branch out to more colors and end up being much stronger.
- There’s a very good chance the foil etched card treatment will return in the future after the positive feedback it received in Commander Legends.
- Verhey talks a little about the lore behind Rograkh and how he wants to go into more detail on a card like Najeela and the many other characters from Battlebond.
- Cards like Hullbreacher and Opposition Agent weren’t part of a cycle and just happened to look and play similarly.
