Oracle text on Debt of Loyalty is ‘You gain control of that creature if it regenerates this way.’ 🙁

Nightmare Void can get pretty ridiculous in some of my meta’s smaller games.

Another ability that is an overperformer in multiplayer EDH is “threshold”. Games tend to be significantly longer than 1v1 standard 60, so graveyards pile up.
Cabal Ritual, Cleansing Meditation, Demoralize, Divine Sacrament, Fledgling Dragon, Hunting Grounds, Krosan Restorer…the list goes on, but there’s some good cards for cheap.

In reply to Pedro Ramos. I was going to mention Gift of Immortality if no one else did; it's fantastic in EDH. Put Gift of Immortality on a Sakura-Tribe Elder sometime for great lulz

In reply to A.E. Marling. I love phasing! And I pretty much love any card with Teferi's name on it. Good stuff-

Wonderful episode. I love delving into the variety of Commander, seeking out those delightful underdogs that save the day. My list:

Teferi’s Veil: Phasing is confusing, but at heart this spell will save your attacking creatures from board wipes. It doesn’t remove counters or equipment or trigger enter / leave battlefield effects.

Red Elemental Blast / Pyroblast / Carpet of Flowers / Withering Gaze / Submerge: Blue has the most annoying cards in Commander and deserves the hate. Green is another commonly played color, and Withering Gaze is often a draw four against it.

Guided Passage: If you have an ally, he can get you an answer to a sticky board situation.

Thada Adel, Acquisitor: Insane power, allowing you to tutor a Sol Ring every attack. Downside: terrible art. I’m going to have to get it altered.

In reply to GJ. That's the deck I might use it with. I'm not certain it's great on flavor though, and ultimately my sliver deck is flavor first. Otherwise, it's just gross.

In reply to Tom Szydlo. Great ones here. Primeval Bounty led me to an undefeated day one at GP Oakland. Whelming Wave is a delight in my sea-monsters tribal (Thassa).
