Funny enough this was my alternative just build cap niggathrod and go brrr with horrors. Although i gotta sit down to learn about Horrors in mtg.

Any suggestions kiwis?
Phyrexian Obliterator is a Horror and if your group cries about mill then making them sacrifice everything if they block (these losers ain't using no spot removal)

Upheaval is a 1 Mana less Cyc Rift, if Cyc Rift could be a game changer then it should most likely be a game changer.
Cyc Rift doesn't hit lands, Cyc Rift is a strong card but it is nowhere near Upheaval.

No, it's not. Rift doesn't get your shit. Upheval basically resets the boardstate to the beginning of the game. The caster can prepare for it and have some advantage, but that's still a setback for the entire table. And if someone is going to win with this on that turn, there are numerous less convoluted ways to do that with the same kind of resources. Rift sets back everybody but you, can be used offensively to swing into a clear board, or defensively, when opp assembles a lot of creatures or combo pieces. It also can be used as a cheap targeted bounce if needed. Upheval will oftenly be used to produce cancerous play-patterns

God i would love to Upheaval in my Simic deck.
 
Gavin does some math and graphs out the power creep.
 
"Banned as commander" needs to be an official ruling already.
Rofellos doesn't even seem particularly bad to me in the modern era. Sure, he's an insane accelerant in the command zone, but all he does is make mana. Comparative two-mana commanders also draw cards, remove creatures, and become voltron-in-a-can game-closers. Even then, he requires you to either run a lot of basics or to blow your crop rotation to go get Yamivaya, which is a perfectly-valid ghost quarter target.

I'd put him in a bucket with Yuriko and Winona and so-on as game-changer commanders that by-default force your deck into the upper brackets, sure, but I really don't think he's worth keeping on the list these days.

Meme that made me laugh.

WotC claims that they won't make a Harry Potter UB because Strixhaven exists, but expect big daddy Hasbro to put it out as their toy division continues to lose more and more money:

Expect it to be next year but Street Fighter and Voltron could be action figures, then again they already got Street Fighter Universes Beyond.
 
They could Do Godzilla Promos for Harry Potter and Voltron. Has there been a Voltron team of 3 members for them to Godzilla Kaldra with?

Can't wait for Harry Potter to kick down the Strixhaven door and Avrakadavra some bitches.
 
Come on Hasbro do it make a Harry Potter universes beyond that tweet does not mean anything coming from WOTC Hasbro is in charge and Harry potter is one of the biggest franchises out there, it would print them money and we would get a seething from every one of the troons and fags that play magic the likes of something I have not seen before. And Harry potter is the 7th biggest media franchise in the world has multiple theme parks around it and make shit tons of money. we could get a JK rowling card too with protections from troons.

They were set to boycott Ultimate Guard for making Harry Potter deck boxes.

I have no doubt WOTC is super nervous over triggering the mass freakout.
