By the time you get Angrath to 8 loyalty, you’ll likely have used his +1 ability at least four times, and graveyards tend to become pretty full on their own over the course of a game anyways. Like many planeswalker ultimates, Angrath’s final ability isn’t something that most players will want to build an entire deck around however, there’s no doubt that this -8 packs a punch. This ability even has a tiny bit of political potential since you can borrow one opponent’s creature to team up against another opponent. In the right deck, this ability is more akin to Slave of Bolas than Act of Treason, and I’ll happily pay three loyalty for that effect. There are a lot of strong creatures in Oathbreaker with a CMC of 3 or less, and even if you end up targeting a larger creature, you can always use another sacrifice outlet to get the same end result. Three loyalty may seem like a bit of a high cost for an Act of Treason, but this ability does come with the additional upside of sometimes functioning as spot removal. Discard-based strategies are obviously a great fit for this kind of effect, but this ability doesn’t require any additional synergy/support to do some serious damage over the course of a game. In a four-player game, this ability will essentially be doing a collective 6 damage to your opponents, and it will get rid of somehwere between zero and three cards from your opponents’ hands (depending on whether or not they’re already empty-handed). This +1 ability is pretty solid, especially in a multiplayer format like Oathbreaker. Let’s begin by taking a look at the individual abilities on Angrath, the Flame-Chained. As always, I’ll be going over three different builds of this Oathbreaker with three different Signature Spells. The selection of Oathbreakers in Rakdos colors is somewhat limited at the moment, but I think this iteration of Angrath is one of the more interesting and flexible options currently available to the color combination. This week’s article is dedicated to the OG angry cow dad, Angrath, the Flame-Chained. The event is available until September 9 and players will earn rewards based on the total number of wins losses are not counted.In my last “New Perspectives” article, I tackled some different aggressive decks built around Domri, Anarch of Bolas, which you can find here. “The event rewards will only be available through the Eldraine Courtside Brawl event until the sets official release,” a message from Wizards reveals. “The reward cards can be played in Standard 2020 events, Direct Challenge match (except Tournament), and in Bot Matches up until Throne of Eldraine's release on September 26. Other changes to MTG Arena can be found in the official patch notes shared today and listed below: Event decks (and their cards) will not be added to your collection.” “Players will not be able to craft the event rewards until maintenance completes on September 26. While in the command zone, the total cost (including "commander tax") is shown.Ĭommanders have a hanger that indicates their current "commander tax" (the total cost to cast the commander the next time they are cast from the command zone). In Brawl formats, the name of each player's commander is shown underneath their player name.While in the command zone, commanders appear as near-hand castables (similar to cards you can cast from graveyard or exile).Commander Tax: Informal term for the additional cost to cast a commander based on the number of times a player has cast it previously this game.You can hover the commander to view the original mana cost. It will also automatically open when you need to target something on the stack.The browser is now available whenever there are 4 or more targets on the stack.We've updated and enhanced the stack browser significantly.Clicking this name at any time will bring up the card for the commander. Mousing over an item on the stack will now show any related objects that have left the battlefield (for example, if a Footlight Fiend dies, you can hover the on-death triggered ability on the stack to see if it had Deathtouch or the like) The browser will also indicate the controller of spells or effects on the stack by nudging them up or down towards that player. When the top card of the library is revealed, but uncastable, clicking on that card will now open the library browser (as clicking on the library normally would if there weren't a revealed card on top).You can now examine the final battlefield state while sideboarding.When there is a gameplay action you can undo, the game will display an "Undo" prompt with the corresponding hotkey.
