Voidmage Apprentice (Duel Decks: Jace Vs Chandra) вЂ“ Hard counterspells are always useful and a morphing one is even better.Urborg Elf (Apocalypse) вЂ“ See Birds of Paradise.Unblinking Bleb (Future Sight) вЂ“ If we can get additional value from our flipping creatures, so be it.Temur Sabertooth (Commander 2017) вЂ“ This card allows reuse of your morphed creatures.Serpentine Basilisk (Onslaught) вЂ“ The deck could use more combat tricks than just Ebonblade Reaper.Salt Road Ambushers (Dragons of Tarkir) вЂ“ See Ebonblade Reaper.Primal Whisperer (Legions) вЂ“ See Ebonblade Reaper.

Therefore, cards like this and those below help keep the deck acting as a consistent threat. Ebonblade Reaper (Onslaught) вЂ“ The deck needs offensive might to close out slow games otherwise, the game gets too attritive and causes some players to target you, just to stop having to grind as much for the win.Brine Elemental (Time Spiral) вЂ“ This card in combination with Vesuvan Shapeshifter locks opponents out, ending the game through the most attritive of effects: untap denial.Birds of Paradise (Gruul Guild Kit) вЂ“ This deck naturally lacked mana producing permanents outside of lands.Detailed explanations for both the cuts and additions can be found in my TappedOut link here (Note: the Maybeboard in the link lists the cut cards). Some are still in print, such as any cards from War of the Spark. Note that many of these additional Magic: the Gatheringcards are out of print as of this article, but can be obtained as single cards at local hobby stores or online. I have added twenty cards to replace the cards cut above, in order to further the Morph/Manifest themes imbued naturally in the deck. 1x Vraska the Unseen вЂ“ slow removal, and not synergistic enough overallД¬hoices for Additions, and Where to Obtain Them.1x Pendant of Prosperity вЂ“ functionally detrimental (they should have printed this in Primal Genesis).1x Foul Orchard вЂ“ easy to replace there are too many lands in these decks as a whole.

The following twenty cards were selected to get the axe from Faceless Menace for a variety of reasons, ranging from a lack of utility, lack of synergy, or an overall superfluous nature. As such, we will be focusing on improving this deck with Kadena, Slinking Sorcerer as the commander in mind. If you'd like, you may use another commander, but as these commanders are often the most synergistic options in the precons, these ones are recommended.

Choice of Commander for Faceless MenaceДЇor this series of articles (because yes, we will be covering all four decks in Commander 2019), we will be focusing on using the 'face commander' of these preconstructed Magic: the Gathering decks, meaning the legendary creature featured in the packaging of the deck. With this in mind, we at Bleeding Cool have compiled a list of the twenty most pertinent additions to the Faceless Menace deck from Commander 2019, a deck which revolves around Morph as a mechanic. Commander encompasses both of these format types, and to drive this point home, the deck size for a Commander deck is 100 cards as opposed to a minimum of 60. This is also true for Singleton formats, where only one of most any given card is allowed in the deck. The Morph mechanic includes its Manifest and Megamorph variants.This is especially true for Eternal formats, where cards only amass and never exit the rotation of legality. The primary commander is Kadena, Slinking Sorcerer, and the secondary commanders are Rayami, First of the Fallen and Volrath, the Shapestealer. Faceless Menace is a 100 card Commander preconstructed deck with a Morph theme, featured in Commander 2019.
