The main Silverquill building is Grandloft Hall, a vast train-station-like space with shafts of light streaking in from the enchanted windowpanes far above. Grandloft is filled with balconies, loges, booths, daises, and other spaces where orators can perform their craft. Inklings flit around the high windowed ceiling, and enchanted spotlights automatically focus on any mage who's using powerful magic. [7]
Commander 2021 Strixhaven: Silverquill Statement Commander 2021 Strixhaven: Silverquill Statement Commander 2021 Strixhaven: Silverquill Statement Since I had pulled out a handful of removal, I wanted to be sure to replace it. Council's Judgment and Merciless Eviction were perfect fits in this regard. Board Wipes. Most of the wipes fit the Politics theme, but some are better than others. I like Tragic Arrogance here, even Promise of Loyalty despite not letting you choose who survives. Deathbringer Regent seems just overpriced here to me. and Knight of the White Orchid, Boreas Charger, Fain, the Broker (kinda), Scholarship Sponsor, Sol Ring, Arcane Signet, Mind Stone, Orzhov Signet, Pendant of Prosperity, Spectral Searchlight, Victory Chimes, Tempting Contract (sometimes), Coveted Jewel Soul Shatter , Kaya’s Guile , Heliod’s Intervention , Vanquish the Horde , and Toxic Deluge will give you boatloads of card advantage when they sweep away whatever threats opponents throw at you. Blind Obedience isn’t exactly removal, but it slows down opposing forces and buys time with life gain.
Jay Annelli (March 25, 2021). " Killian's father is a dean at Silverquill. Is that Embrose?". Archive Trap Mini. Tumblr. Plus people are completely overlooking the fact that Breena is a ridiculous engine for +1/+1 counters. Assuming each player triggering Breena on their turn in a 4-Player FFA game, that's six +1/+1 counters going on to your creatures each turn cycle, which is absolutely ridiculous. The precon doesn't have a lot of counter support -- only a handful of cards like Fain, the Broker, Felisa, Fang of Silverquill, and Elite Scaleguard -- but even so, giving your creatures an extra combined 6 power and toughness each turn cycle is a ton for a three mana commander! Author of Shadows could have benefited from being 4 cmc card. I doubt he's broken as you're likely to cast 1 exiled spell in most games.
card draw; Breena, the Demagogue, Keen Duelist, Secret Rendezvous, Ambition's Cost, Stinging Study, Coveted Jewel Graveyard Recursion.Again, very thematic stuff here, but a mixed bag. I think Incarnation Technique is very solid, as is Infernal Offering. Magister of Worth? Not so much. If two or more free draws per turn cycle seems great for a three-mana W/B commander, you’re right! Tymna the Weaver remains one of the strongest options in the color for a reason. Tying this powerful value engine to your opponents’ combat decisions isn’t enough to scupper that potential, but I suspect it will make Breena more polarizing — and this goes for all the other politics-based effects in the precon, too.

Mark Rosewater (March 29, 2021). " I really enjoyed your list of Witherbloom majors". Blogatog. Tumblr. Scholarship Sponsor is good on 1v1 scenarios. Other than that, it's just bad unless you play Opposition agent. Bold Plagiarist grows big only but it doesn't feel like it matters compared to mana gorger hydra and Taurean mauler which is more flexible and scarier. I know they're in different colors but it doesn't seem like you want to play this card once you know how others are better inclusion. Will always benefit from being 1 cmc cheaper. Reprint wise, it's just sad. Let me list down cards that I think are useless. Again, I could be wrong but if you want me to explain more on the card I choose here, please ask me in the comment section.
There's some solid inclusions here, such as Knight of the White Orchid and thematic choices like Victory Chimes. I'm not sold on Tempting Contract like some others are -- it's entirely dependent on your opponents, so I guess hope for bad opponents? However, I don't like the over-reliance on land deficit ramp cards: Knight of the White Orchid, Boreas Charger, Scholarship Sponsor, all these cards can end up doing nothing for you by themselves, but cast one and each subsequent one you cast gets that much worse. Inkshield is such a trap card. 5 cmc that relies on your opponent going all in is suspect. Why not play teferi's protection which it does so much and it protects everything you have? Vainglories are Silverquill mages who use words to inspire or reproach, which can cause intense changes in their target's emotional state. [5] Eloquents, a highly sought-after position for Silverquill graduates, are the supreme arbiters of the cosmos and enforcers of all magical contracts on Arcavios. [6] Colors Dichotomy [ | ]
Inkshield
Honestly, the only card from the precon that I would recommend keeping for this strategy is Selfless Squire. None of the rest of the cards are necessary to this strategy. 5. Voting (3-6) Mark Rosewater (April 5, 2021). " In the Strixhaven, Part 2". magicthegathering.com. Wizards of the Coast. Lastly, if lobbying fails and you just need vote your way, just take control of their turn. That’s what all good politicians do, right?
Great Deal
