AMAZING NEW BLINK COMMANDER!!! Preston, the Vanisher Deck Tech 

Great idea! 😁

A very unique way to build him! 😄

I fail to see how modular plays well with Preston’s ability. Tokens created by Preston are 0/1 white illusions (non-artifact). Modular says to put its counters on an artifact creature when it enters the ‘yard. And Modular creature are spells that are cast with a static ability to add the tokens. It gets a triggered ability on death.

@@Acadieman i may be wrong so no problem if you correct me, but from what i understand, modular simply refers to the creature entering the battlefield, so counters would be added to the copies as they enter. Since preston only refers to the creatures subtype as a value that changes, all other copiable values should stay the same including the card types, making the copies artifact creatures-illusions that are white.

True, good point the tokens would enter with the static Modular effect and gain those +x /+x counters. They would still only be able to give the tokens from the death triggers to non illusion tokens, like other non token Modular artifact creatures. I agree It would be a good way to get some stronger tokens ETBs with Modular.

@@Acadieman pardon me though but i think the tokens would still be artifact creatures if im not wrong? and yes a few sac outlets would do great in this case.

Sweet! 😁

Some great suggestions! 😁

I like it! 😃

Abdel can also enable a rather cute trick with Skybind if you feel like something janky. Abdel can blink anything that isn't a land. Skybind can blink anything that isn't an enchantment. You can have Abdel blink Skybind (Yes, it counts itself though any enchantment would work if you have Skybind out) and have Skybind blink a land. This enables some fun shenanigans like blinking an opponents Gaea's Cradle (Skybind isn't limited to stuff you control) or blinking a Nykthos to reset it or blinking a plains to trigger your Emeria Shepherd.

Also saw a comment on "Aerial Extortionist", not only does it let you exile more, but its static ability will let you draw twice the cards with the illusion copy on the Board !!

Nice! 😄

I like it! 😄

A nice little goat package! 🐐

@@AffinityForCommander And in a blink deck even nicer.^^ Particularly nice with Preston as blinking her gets you goats and then the 0/1 copy that Preston makes gets you even MORE goats. And the Trading Post and Springjack Pasture gives you something VERY useful to do with them.^^

All good cards to add! 😄

Great additions! 😁

Indeed! 😃

Some well made points! 😀

Great question! The shroud granted by lightning greaves prevents us from targeting the equipped creature with our flicker spells, so we thought it best to leave it out 🙂

@@AffinityForCommander I just looked it up yesterday, I understand. It probably doesn't matter with the plains ramp you get from ETB and Land Tax. Thanks 😁

Mages apprentice

Indeed it is! 😃

@@AffinityForCommander FIrst time watching a video of yours. About a year into Magic commander. I'm actually building your Preston deck now. I'm sure you're a very busy guy - I was wondering if you might be able to suggest any ... fun/combo/unique decks? I have several tribals - I just play against some people that .. their decks just seem to GEL. I know this is very subjective - but - for example, I played against a Wyl deck (spelling? - the one where can roll multiple die I believe - and opponents have to mil off top of their deck. Then there's another friend - he has TONS of decks - a rat deck that can kill me sometimes in 4-5 moves - he has ones that play with artifacts - they just all seem to gel well. I'm looking for something that not a lot of people play - one that - if they keep taking my commander out - I can recover. I was looking at a wheel deck - 'cause I loved the mechanic of forcing people to discard to lose life - but the people I play with don't like a lot of salt. So - uniqueness - a good mechanic / gelling - gosh - you're probably reading this and wondering where to start. The Preston deck really intrigued me. I was also thinking about a Volo deck the one that pairs with a background - im on the fence on that one but only bring it up - cause you don't see a lot of people playing it - and it's unique - and seems like it would gel really nicely. Anywho - now that you have me singing Les Mis (as soon as I saw that # in your video, I just could hear Javert singing it damn you! Any advice/time you might be able to throw my way would be greatly appreciated. I'm still enough of a newb that things just don't reach out and grab me yet. THANK YOU!

Yes! 😁
