@ -44,6 +44,7 @@ In terms of the decks, this is a hybrid between Commander and Oathbreaker:
* A player may cast their Gatewatch Oath at any time from the command zone, regardless of whether they control their Commander or not.
Given the abilities of the Gatewatch Oaths, this is quite critical.
* Each deck features 2 additional Legendary creatures as "lieutenants" within the deck (not command zone), representing key allies that help define the deck and provide strong synergies. For Bolas, these are two of his dead gods; for the Gatewatch, they are on-flavour friends and allies that have come to assist.
* The Gatewatch decks each feature a Legendary artifact relevant to the commander (the 3 Magic Origins Legendary artifacts for Nissa, Chandra, and Jace, and the Theros Godsend for Gideon), as well as a Legendary land (some on flavour, some not); Bolas's deck instead includes the Legendary enchantment `In Bolas's Clutches` instead (careful, he may turn your commander!).
* The decks, and specifically the 3-colour Bolas and 2-colour Nissa decks, feature a fairly expensive manabase. This was a conscious decision to ensure optimal mana is avaiable and avoid a key problem mentioned above, since losing because you couldn't play your spells is never fun. But we recognize that this might be overly prohibitive to people wishing to craft these decks. There are two options here:
1. Depower the manabases, replacing the original duals, shocks, and fetches with more modern, slower multicolour lands and basics. This would hurt the Bolas deck much more so than the Nissa deck, but would be doable. Personally, we do not like things such as the MDFC land cycles due to the actual act of flipping them and such, but there are viable options like that.
2. Proxy the expensive cards. This is the solution we have chosen for our playgroup, as we are firm believers in "Magic should be *played* and the cards exist somewhere, so use them however we can". You may disagree with this philosophy and that's fine, but we built around it.
