We'll always welcome reprints of important land cycles.ĭid we want it? The short answer is yes, we wanted it. One's being wielded while the other's on display, so pick the one that fits your level of aggression/museum of medieval weaponry theme.ĭid we need it? Considering the "bond land" cycle of lands were immediate staples following their original printing in Battlebond (hence the name), it's safe to say that most players could use a copy or two of each, and the price indicates as much, as both previous versions of the lands, in Battlebond and in Zendikar Rising Expeditions, were hovering around $20. Who did it best? You've got two illustrations to choose from, and both feature a translucent, crystalline sword. With the return of Myriad as a keyword, Blade of Selves was an obvious choice for a new version, and the slate of new cards that synergize with Myriad will make Blade of Selves as desirable as ever. The only other printing since then, in Commander Anthology Volume II, was also in the $30-35 range.ĭid we want it? Following a very similar trajectory as Bramble Sovereign, the fact that there weren't that many copies floating around, and that the ones that were had a significant price tag, means Blade of Selves is limited to around 9,000 decks on EDHREC. The original version, printed in Commander 2015, was around $33 when the reprint was revealed. It'll be a toss-up for me whether to switch to the new full-art version or stick with the original Worldwake printing.ĭid we need it? Definitely. Who did it best? Despite the five previous prints of Basilisk Collar, the Baldur's Gate version is the first with new art, and it should be noted that this newest version seems to actually depict a basilisk wearing that collar. I personally play it in my Ashling the Pilgrim deck, and it's never a bad draw there. Today, you can get any previously printed version for around $2, and with two new versions in Commander Legends: Battle for Baldur's Gate, the answer is no, we didn't need it.ĭid we want it? Basilisk Collar is fine enough for what it does it's cheap to cast, cheap to equip, and for decks that care about one or both of deathtouch and lifelink, there's no reason not to use it, and its stats on EDHREC reflect that, as it finds itself ringing the necks of creatures in nearly 30,000 decks. Weirdly, the Mystery Booster version carried the Modern Masters 2017 set symbol.Īt one point, the Worldwake version was $25, but that might as well have been a million years ago. With Battlebond only four years old, it's unlikely any version carries with it a nostalgia factor, so for style points I'd give the edge to the full-art.ĭid we need it? Originally printed in Worldwake 12 years ago, Basilisk Collar has seen reprints in two Masterssets ( Modern Masters 2017 and Double Masters), the "Aura of Courage" Forgotten Realms Commander deck, and was also present in Mystery Boosters with that little planeswalker symbol in the corner. Who did it best? That full-art treatment illustrated by Raluca Marinescu is something else, but each version of the card is great. And don't discount the ability to provide opponents with a back-up copy of anything they play - it's a great political tool. It's an extremely powerful card that can fit into a number of decks (especially Riku and Beamtown Bullies decks), since it probably goes without saying that if you're going through the trouble of putting a creature into your deck and playing it during a game, you probably don't mind a second copy for the cost of a Balduvian Bears. Blade of Selves | Illustrated by Lie Setiawan Mythics and Raresĭid we need it? Printed only once before, in Battlebond, that original Bramble Sovereign version was pushing $20, so yes, we needed it.ĭid we want it? It appears in a shade under 6,000 decks on EDHREC, but that might be more due to its scarcity and price until now. Let's take a look at the reprints of Baldur's Gate. Whether players were clamoring for what was included is another story entirely. That's not to say the set doesn't have its fair share of reprints.

Despite rampant speculation on its inclusion, it appears the waterfront of Baldur's Gate is free of any criminal enterprise. I'm going to go ahead and get this out of the way at the top: Dockside Extortionist was not reprinted in Commander Legends: Battle for Baldur's Gate.
