Another thing on Commune – the Goggles deck might want it. First, you get some fun goofy double-goggs action with Forking it endstep. But more importantly, you get to fork a card of your choice on your next turn, which is excellent as well. If we\’re making strange Goggles decks (and the pros are, after all) then red card draw with an X in it looks rich.

Regarding Commune with lava I fully agree, I think most people just forget the “next turn” clause and read “until end of turn” instead. Origins is full shock of good potential cards in the bulk range (Vryn Wingmare…)

I have serious love for Commune with Lava. I think that card is way better than people give it credit for. Something about it makes people think “bad card”. I don’t know what that is. But end-stepping this to temporarily draw 3 should be JUST fine. Especially if you hit some Abbots 🙂

Molten Vortex is one of those cards that just makes me go “wow”. I’m not sure why it’s so cheap. My concern, however, is that BFZ will have landfall, and Vortex is polar opposite to that mechanic.

Still, paying a mana and a card for an option that says “all your lands also are Shocks” is pretty reasonable!
