Recording North 100 (The podcast) and the guys are chatting about the new Ral Zarek, and like, I don’t play Commander, but if I did and someone targeted me with this -7 ability I think I just scoop? Seems miserable no?

Unless they hit 5 tails and you watch THEM scoop.

Idk, that's a lot of "not the threat" equity.

Even worse if you have it in a deck with Edgar, King of Figaro

I would at least wait until they flip. Watching someone get 5 tails in a row would be well worth it.

I mean, it's a neat callback to/inversion of OG Ral, but getting hit by it is just the worst & I'd understand scooping. But it might just be one of those PWs like Aminatou that has a gentleman's agreement to never ult. Plus it can't be activated right away, even w/ Doubling Season, so there's that

Thought exercise: Is it more or less miserable than the original Ral from Ravnica flipping coins and *taking* extra turns? I think they are about the same and equally extremely difficult to activate in a normal game of magic.

Yeah im not running this without making it very clear that im never activating the -7 on anyone.

The upside is if you have a card that takes a bunch of extra turn you're the Ahole no one wants to play with, but if you make one person lose a bunch of turns you're the Ahole only one person dosnt want to play with

Don’t concede, go get a milkshake. Tell them to wait if it gets to your turn. Take your time. Contemplate the meaning of life. Check back in 4-6 hours 😂

Depends, is Wheeler flipping the coins?

Would you rather one person take up to 5 extra turns or force one person to skip up to 5 fewer turns? Which one of these makes the commander games shorter?
Kris // ⌈Tautology⌋ ΘΔ& · Apr 1
besides the points others covered: yeah like most players don't get the time or chance to ult a planeswalker in commander
D-Haas · Apr 1
I'd say that's true of most Planeswalker ults
Karolina 🍉 · Apr 2
ngl I saw that and my first thought was... "wait why is he mono black" 🤔 But the next thing was "why did they print that ult" so yeah

Big "I'll see you all next week" energy on the other end of that one.

Let it ride!
Brands · Apr 1
100%. Why would you use this ult on a multiplayer game. that's just a miserable experience
derek · Apr 1
unless they're playing it in a weird superfriends deck that runs the green counters add-ons and black, surely it doesn't last that long

Thankfully, you're unlikely to ever see the -7, especially in Commander. Especially since this fails the Doubling Season test.
