Wizards justified the addition of red to Chainer's color identity by explaining that he was younger and more impressionable as he is depicted, and that his storyline friend, the barbarian Kamahl, had a deep impression on the young caster. The card exudes the flavor of the character at a younger age than the card's spiritual predecessor, Chainer, Dementia Master. The full list I'll be discussing in this article is linked here.īefore I actually go on to the decklist and tech, I just want to make a few points on this card.Ĭhainer, Nightmare Adept is, in my personal opinion, the best mythic commander out of the entire set (the title of best commander of the set overall, however, goes to K'rrik, Son of Yawgmoth). This past Tuesday, September 3rd, we went over Marisi, Breaker of the Coil, and today, at long last, we go over Chainer, Nightmare Adept, of the "Merciless Rage" deck. Last Tuesday, August 27th, we went over Volrath, the Shapestealer, and then on Thursday, August 29th, we went over Pramikon, Sky Rampart. These articles range from simple (wherein we made 20 changes to the deck overall) to complex (wherein a budget was only considered lightly).

The decks released were based on the mechanics of Morph, Flashback, Populate, and Madness, and we at Bleeding Cool have been not only analyzing the decks out of the box but offering deck techs on how to improve them.

This year marks the seventh release of Commandeer preconstructed decks (the eighth release being the Commander's Arsenal, a very limited run of sought-after cards within the format, in 2012). Every year from 2011 onwards, Wizards has come out with a product catering primarily to Commander fans.
