    I do love how the static abilities of Ashiok, Tamiyo and Narset are all primary white abilities that none of those colors really had before. Maybe if they gave a Gideon or Elspeth one of those abilities, it would have made more sense. Especially when you consider that their abilities only effect the opponents, it makes them significantly better then blanket abilities on mostly 1-3 toughness creatures.

    32:34 I actually disagree with this opinion. Especially when he is used in a singleton format, Jace the Mind Sculptor's zero ability is really good. It's a reusable Brainstorm/Divining Top on a planeswalker. And while top is probably better because it can't be attacked, Jace also has his plus one which can help you deal with deal with your opponents. You will probably never ult with him so don't build your deck around it, but otherwise, it's a great card that is super useful in certain decks.

    I also use Garruk Cursed Huntsman as a Finisher combo for Ghave Guru of spores. Play his 0 Ability, Sacc those Wolves to pump Ghave and make Garruk capable of Ultimating & Surviving it immediately, Ultimate next turn to give Ghave Trample & +3/+3 with his emblem. Then win with Commander damage or play Tainted Strike and win with Infect damage.

    I use Domri anarch of bolas in my high power grumgully deck (yes I know that sounds stupid) and it works really well since my entire combo is creature based, and its minus has won me games, one of them last night actually, since I was able to get a containment priest off the field. It's versatile enough for late game if I wasn't able to go off on turn 4 or 5, which is hard to do when the board gets staxed out

    My old Muldtotha deck ran two of those Vraskas mostly for the fact that I'm allergic to nonperminant spells and they were some of my removal for a deck that has cooler creatures to pull from it's graveyard. Granted, it heavily decreased their costs to 2 each (net one with the pirate vraska), but I guess that's were your recurring "unless it's synergistic" comment keeps coming in

    No love for Kiora, Behemoth Beckoner? The -1 is super useful for the same reasons the Garruk +1 is (plus it works with dorks and creatures with tap abilities) and it also has a very decent passive. Ánd it has a ton of loyalty so it will probably live through the first rotation. It works wonders in my Roon list; ramp into Roon, draw a card for playing Roon, and potential to ramp/draw even more

At that point she's a free cast removal card, if you decide not to use her to recur or cast any other legendary in your deck. If you're in wb control, she is a MUST INCLUDE

    Let me give you an example: Sisay, Weatherlight Captain. Domri is Golden there. Gives Sisay +3/+3 on his own, which makes her a 5/5 which can now remove most things on the battlefield with his -2. Or you can just use him as a mana dork and make sure they don't counter the creatures that matter. It is good especially in higher power metas imho.
