Gilder Bairn

Hybrid Cards Commander Issue

New 16 Jan 2017 Asked by 4blackout 35 Comments

How would I express my disappointment that Hybrid cards aren't working in Commander? I can't play Gilder Bairn in my monoblue deck even though I can in other formats. I know you don't make the rules, but where do I go?


If I was in charge of Commander, hybrid would work in the format like it works in every other format. I am not in charge though so you need to take your concerns to the Commander Committee.

Doubling Future Cards

Will there be more cards like Doubling Season, Vorel of the Hull Clade, and Gilder Bairn in the future?


There will be if I have anything to do with it. I love doubling things.

Doubling Season Mechanics

New 17 Mar 2014 Asked by lungsoftheocean 30 Comments

Regarding the Doubling Season + Planeswalkers comment earlier, it's worth noting that this doesn't actually work. Planeswalker abilities are a cost not an effect, so DS doesn't trigger for Planeswalkers. You'd have to use Gilder Bairn or something.


It doubles the loyalty when they enter the battlefield and it doubles any tokens made.

Proliferate's Inspiration

New 15 Aug 2012 Asked by minusx 3 Comments

Did Gilder Bairn's ability happen to inspire proliferate?


Not directly. I made Gilder Bairn in Eventide so it came from the same brain. Proliferate started as a plague themed single card that made poison and -1/-1 counters go up. I then decided to turn it into a mechanic and Mark Globus suggested that it affect all counters and not just the “Phyrexian” ones.
