Pointed Discussion

With the gadgetry, and the spying, I'm reasonably certain Edric comes from Fiora. Does anyone else know for sure if he doesnt? (I didn't get the blue green commander deck so I never got to read his story insert)

I doubt there's any official material on it but I think it's a great theory that he's from Fiora.

Edric is finally available in much higher quantities. I expect to see him in every Commander deck soon.

Two color generals didn't get a backstory, only the big two had a blurb when the original Commander product dropped. Where else would this guy be from though?

Only other info is a bit of flavor texts. Vow of Flight

In the context of the draft itself, this will deter other players from attacking you because they only receive cards for hitting the other 2 opponents. Just beware of the 3 player situation where one knocks out the other and end their turn with a stocked hand looking at you next.

so glad they reprinted this. edric may see more legacy than commander play.

I just drafted him today. Although he does bear a strong resemblance to Elrond, I can't shake thinking of his as Lord Varys from Game of Thrones. Great card though, he's going right into my EDH deck.

I like the reprint in this because as Quietude stated, it will help in playing the political games involved in this set. card draw is great, as is the ability to entice people into attacking someone else. Like stated, again, just make sure you can deal with the opponents that are left after they fought each other a bunch. I also missed out on the Riku deck, so I will welcome the chance to get this dude again.
