Extortion

Aerial Extortionist Mono-Blue

Hypothetically, could Aerial Extortionist printed but as a mono blue card? Would that be totally fine, a bend or a break?

Blue is more likely to return a card to the hand than exile it and let them cast it from exile.

Satisfaction with White Card Draw

I'm so happy with the White card draw effects in New Capenna Commander - especially that it gives us a variety of options, not one specific card that would become sought after and hard to find. I particularly like Master of Ceremonies, where it still gives equal card advantage to you and your opponents, but you get the edge because its split amongst all your opponents. And Aerial Extortionist is so great. High fives for all involved, please!

High fives to be applied.

Treasures Mechanic Impact on Commander

I overall like treasures, but i feel like they are warping commander because three of the most overpowered cards of all time for the format (smothering tithe, Dockside Extortionist, and hullbreacher) all generate treasure, which leads to the mechanic being warping.

Ah, eternal formats, where mistakes live forever. : )

Addressing Treasure Mechanic

Since people are talking treasure and commander, the issue isn't treasures as a mechanic rather the power level of individual cards. Dockside Extortionist and Smothering Tithe just make a lot of treasure and give huge advantages for little work. Brass' Bounty meanwhile has been legal for ages and I don't think people have any real negative feelings for it. The ability to continuously make multiple a turn or a lot for little work is where treasures start to become an issue.

Do others agree with this contention?

Dockside Extortionist Mechanic

Is the enchantment part of Dockside Extortionist a bend or a break in red, or is this kind of effect in pie? (“When Dockside Extortionist enters the battlefield, create X Treasure tokens, where X is the number of artifacts and enchantments your opponents control.)

Red can reference enchantments existing. It just can’t destroy them.

Green and Black Turn Spells

Hi Mark! In regards to the person that asked about white, black, and green getting extra turn spells, green and black actually both have one. Green has a card called Seedtime from Judgement, and Black has Temporal Extortion from Planar chaos. These are both conditional though. I suppose they would be color pie breaks today?

Both, at best, are severe bends. Seedtime is probably just a break.

Dockside Extortionist Enchantment Sight

Why does Dockside Extortionist see enchantments?

Red can’t destroy enchantments. It can care about them.

Dockside Extortionist Origin

Is Dockside Extortionist a goblin from Mercadia??

I believe he’s from Ixalan.

Punisher Mechanic in Black

You said that Red has the "punisher mechanic", that is "let me have thing X or I punch you in the face.", ala Browbeat. Is the mechanic being red, combined with Planar Chaos's Colourshifting why Black got cards like Dash Hopes, Temporal Extortion, and probably other cards (Brain Gorgers and Phantasmagorian come to mind, but they don't give an alternative other than damage/life loss.) too, but never again afterwards?

Yes, we splashed the punisher mechanic in black in Planar Chaos.
