Diving back into the newest Magic: the Gathering release with Staff Kaldheim Picks, part 2. We’ll be hearing from the rest of the CMO Games staff who play and collect. Check our first article with the Friday crews’ Kaldheim picks.
Nick’s Kaldheim Top Picks
#1 – Valki, God of Lies
Valki, God of Lies proves Magic needs to fix their goddamned comprehensive rules. As it works now, Valki has a CMC of 2. Cascade cards only care about his front. When he gets triggered, potentially on turn 2, it just casts the spell. You pick the side. Looking at a CMC 7 Planeswalker on turn 2. Please fix.
#2 – Orvar, the All-Form
Orvar opens up all sorts of weird edge case Commander decks through token manipulation. Just keep casting multi-target spells or straight buff your own and the tokens roll in.
In standard, with strong B/U mill decks, Orvar, the All-Form still copies a permanent when discarded. This is so much better design than getting nothing.
#3 – Tergrid, God of Fright
So, Tergrid, God of Fright makes my list because I accidently killed everyone in a Commander game with her this weekend. During a long running game, I cast Control Magic on Tergrid and followed up with All Is Dust. I hadn’t realized I got every sacrificed permanent!
Mitchell’s Kaldheim Top Picks
#1 – Mystic Reflection
A versatile power generator for you or a denial piece for them. Mystic Reflection has just ridiculous utility.
#2 – Tyrite Sanctum
Usable in any Commander deck, Tyrite Sanctum performs multiple functions. In addition to colorless mana, Tyrite Sanctum buffs cards with a +1/+1 counter and makes them a God. But the real power is keeping your commander around longer with the last ability.
Tyrite Sanctum does much the same in standard, draft, or any other format. It buffs key pieces and keeps the best alive longer. Especially when there’s a lack on Land destruction.
#3 – Koma, Cosmos Serpent
Unbelievably powerful creature. You can make it into a decently competative good stuff, control deck or a for fun Sea Serpent deck. Koma is in the running for the strongest Legend in the set.
Greg’s Kaldheim Top Picks
“I haven’t thought much about it. So, there’s only what I’m buying today.”
#1 – Koma, Cosmos Serpent
I want to play Sea Serpents. Koma’s very good for that.
#2 – The World Tree
God Deck. Does it do anything else? Don’t care.
