This remains my favorite despite only running it in one deck (clone heavy Derevi with lots of recursion). In there, Derevi creates a baseline for any evasive creature and the ordering lets you clone the creature they take. You can leverage both ending up in your graveyard eventually.

It's taken 23 years but wow, this is definitely the home for Pitchstone Wall.
Density of cycling creatures that immediately recur themselves and especially Yidaro for ticking up turtle count after blocking 4/4s for a while.

Top picks for Realms from EoE. There ended up being a lot more than this that are new noteworthy deckbuilding tools based on a deck's individual themes.
The biggest gain is the large number of optional sacrifice outlets in black.

These are my favorite mechanical designs from this set, even if they're largely evolving existing designs.

It makes me so happy that this type exists.

Trying to figure out this wishboard has just now entered a subgame....

Struggling to find a blue pair this way that isn't just flying and nonflying.

If the set doesn't matter, finding them in older sets seems like it will be easier due to creature sizes being less varied and white having tons of tiny commons.

Another full set pass for Realms. These are my favorites.

Doing a proper comb through the history of commander decks built with the intention for paper that were physically built. UB Nashi hasn't been built yet but one of the four versions is going to be a reality eventually.

This is why I like tutor commanders. You get to build around a quirky card and just go in some wild direction.

A ton of new tools and options for Realms in this set. This doesn't even start to touch anything with cycling which are all great options in the right home.
The biggest gains are the new optional artifact hate. This will make it that much easier to build artifact themes going forward.

I would not have expected a number system to work this way.

This feels like the kind of card we would see in a precon at some point. It's wild that it hasn't been reprinted unless there's a cleaner functional variant that doesn't let you target an artifact spell.

Realms highlights from Foundations. Raise the Past is a way to go-wide that doesn't require space for tokens. Grappling Kraken is a blue denizen option that allows you to burn future denizen plays for tempo right now.
