is omniscience banned in edh?

The reason it is not banned is because it can easily be dealt with once it sticks. You can exile/bounce/destroy Omniscience in response to the first spell cast for free. Sure, they can protect it, with instants, but you can still attempt to stop it from going overboard.

While Nezumi Graverobber / Nighteyes is technically not legal for Commander, the way that the card works is interesting enough that I would highly advise anyone to give this deck a go, provided their playgroup is okay with it.

Just realized that Unmoored Ego can hit basic lands for some reason. Grixis Blood Moon deck incoming. But it only exiles up to four copies. In Modern, that may be more than they have copies of.

Eclipse Wyvern was banned because it could send Chaos Armageddon who then could add back Wyvern so you could search another card like Levianeer with Wyvern. White and Black Dragon were limited bc they are extremely easy to summon and any Dragon gives you access to Guarddragon combo.

It was banned because it made traps too easy to abuse. They essentially become spell cards.

Planeswalker abilities at instant speed. Yup. You can activate them once per turn, any time you could cast an instant.

Xenagos, God of Revels (Born of the Gods) - Gatherer - Magic: The Gathering. , and so on) in mana costs of permanents you control don't count toward your devotion to any color. ... It's always a creature card in other zones, regardless of your devotion to its color. It's always a creature spell while it's on the stack.

As mentioned, Goblin Guide is a 2/2 with haste for 1 mana. It's awesome for red aggro decks. Even if your opponent draws a land, you shouldn't be too concerned about them getting card advantage. The land goes to their hand and not in play, so it's not like they're getting to play any of their spells faster.

Yes. When you go to play a creature, you first move it onto the stack, where it is a creature spell. Then both players may respond to it, including to cast Cancel.

No, a creature is not a spell when it attacks. When you say, "I cast/summon Prodigal Pyromancer," then the spell goes onto the spell stack. If no instants are cast in response, then it comes off the spell stack, and hits the table as a creature.

Mainly banned for it being able to recycle and reuse Spell/Trap Cards with effects that can only be used a limited amount of times while they are on the field. It's notable that effects that consistently bounce your own Spell/Traps are very rare due to this.

Oko, the Trickster is the best alternate commander for flavor, since he's still an Oko Planeswalker. His abilities, which buff your creatures and allow him to copy them, are geared toward midrange, and activating his ultimate ability is going to be extremely satisfying.

Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx rulings: 2013-09-15: The second ability is a mana ability. It doesn't use the stack and can't be responded to. 2013-09-15: Numeric mana symbols (, , and so on) in mana costs of permanents you control don't count toward your devotion to any color.

Just because a card like Sol Ring was printed in Commander 2013 does not mean that Sol Ring is legal in Modern, since Sol Ring is not printed in a Modern-legal set. But you could use a card that is printed in a Modern-legal set (like Wrath of God), since Wrath of God was printed in a set legal in Modern.

But I heard that there were some legal Egyptian God Cards! While the original prints were Illegal, Konami made rereleases of these Egyptian God cards that are actually playable and are completely legal to play in tournaments (and they lack the "This card cannot be used in a Duel" text).

Emrakul, the Aeons Torn can't be countered, but nobody can prevent you from targeting it with a countering spell or ability. A spell or ability will resolve normally, but the countering part of its effect will be ignored. ... Mindbreak Trap exiles Emrakul from the stack.

If you aren't at a sanctioned tournament, they are totally fine. Nothing in the EDH rules says "do not use gold-bordered cards".
