Blossom, Bubbles or Buttercup; which one's going to be your next general?

Giselda is pretty good, but it's Bruna for me.

I dunno about as a general, but I'll probably run Buttercup in my Karador's Junk deck.

... style points for the comparison. Even the colors match.

Bruna seems like the easiest to build around in terms of generals, and her ability can get pretty nuts with certain cards. Auratouched Mage + Followed Footsteps to pull out an Aura every turn? Sovereigns of Lost Alara? There are just a ton of possibilities.

Definitely Bruna. I'll probably be taking apart my Kangee, Aerie Keeper deck to for her. The hard part is going to be picking up an Eldrazi Conscription on the cheap now...

Incidentally, I'm hoping the Powerpuff Girls nicknames stick well enough that someone gets the trio altered. Maybe with Avacyn as a genderswapped Professor Utonium and Griselbrand as HIM.

Idk, I'm thinking that dapper demon guy is a better HIM candidate.

Possibly.

And also, the more I think about it the more I think Sorin ought to be Professor Utonium...

Bruna, easily. Reasons? 1. i need a UW edh deck, and she's linear enough that i can make it a theme. (i'm a vorthos/johnny, shush) 2. she's good, good enough to be a beater and it makes good use of the Auratog i have left over (i built a Zur Modern deck long before modern existed) with Daybreak coronet, and Temporal Isolation with aura-swapping shenanigans. (once got to attack with a 15/15 auratog with Isolation and ate it after blockers FTW)

Although they are all lovely and great and awesome and all, none of the above, angels just aren't my my style. But if were going to choose one as my commander it would be Bubbles all the way. I loves me some Bubbles and crazy aura action.

Already working on an EDH decklist for Blossom. Strategy: sit back and defend, assemble voltron, cause some serious damage.

I'll second Blossom; specifically as a reanimator target in Frites and as one of the better peices of art in the set so far. I think that I'd rather use Buttercup as a general just because she protects herself so well, she'll probably replace Uril as my Voltron general of choice. All in all, I'm a fan of the cycle.

This is an awesome observation.

Do you mind if I use it in my next article for Gathering Magic? I can credit you if you like.
