Hey y'all, Eli from Draftsim here with an article by our writer, Herko. Today, Herko took a look at certain cards that are affected by the "Universes Beyond Discount"

I guess it could be called the TMNT discount, because tons of cards from the set are considerably cheaper than their In-Universe counterparts.

• Standard prints of [[Food Chain]] are currently sitting around $50. TMC's print is only $26.
• [[Commander's Plate]] usually goes for around $40. TMC's print is only $26.
• [[Sword of Hearth and Home]] usually clocks in around $25. TMC's is only $13.

I'm not blind to the fact that most people disliked the art, that has to be a motivating factor. However, a powerful card is a powerful card. I'd personally prefer a regular copy of any of these cards, but I think having a slightly more budget option for highly sought after cards is actually a good thing.

What do y'all think? Is the art just too heinous, or is it worth it for the power?

Hey y'all, Eli from Draftsim here with an article by our writer, Andy. Andy took a look at the cards people are playing most from Secrets of Strixhaven and analyzed their future viability as staples in Commander.

• [[Erode]] - 1-mana removal that can hit planeswalkers? Evergreen.
• [[Mathemagics]] - Draw a ton of cards, or force an opponent to deck themselves? Sweet.
• [[Improvisation Capstone]] - Would've thought the blue paradigm spell would work better, but free casts are just incredible. Can't wait to jam this one in my [[Mizzix of the Izmagnus]] deck.
• Speaking of Mizzix [[Resonating Lute]] feels like a near auto-include in Izzet spellslinger decks. It will rarely be a dead card on the field, and has the added bonus of drawing you cards.
• [[Flashback]] - Giving any instant/sorcery in your graveyard flashback for just 1 mana is absurd, and has insane potential in any deck with red. Casting 2 [[Mob Rule]]s in a game has never been easier.
• [[Grave Researcher]] goes in almost any and every deck with black in it. [[Reanimate]] is a multi-format staple for a reason.

What do y'all think, are these the 6 best cards from SOS for Commander? Which are better?
