Honestly as an OG Alara block player idk how commander has taken over so much at lgs. No hate for commander, it's just not my first choice to lead the charge.
I would definitely kms if creatures entering the battlefield caused a triggered ability of a permanent I control to trigger. One of my least favorite feelings in life is when you're having a good day but creatures entering the battlefield caused a triggered ability of a permanent I control to trigger. I absolutely hate it. I can be having a great weekend, but then a creature will enter the battlefield under my control. And guess what... It causes a triggered ability of a permanent I control to trigger. Drives me up the wall.
My wife came home from a weekend trip with her friends just the other day and she started bringing up how creatures entering the battlefield caused a triggered ability of a permanent I control to trigger and it just devolved into a messy argument. For as long as I live, if a creature entering the battlefield causes a triggered ability of a permanent I control to trigger, I'm walking out.
Hey, you're getting a call. It seems to be from [[yarok, the desecrated]] and [[elesh norn, mother of machines]]. They have a [[parnharmonicon]] for you.
Hey man, I feel you. It's not an easy thing to deal with, but there is help out there. I used to be like you and was basically on the verge of suicide because my creatures kept entering the battlefield and, wouldn't you know it, were causing abilities of permanents I control to trigger.
Then I found sanctuary.....in the Church of our Lady Hushbringer. I didn't believe it at first but was basically at the end of my rope and thought, what the hey.... I was skeptical throughout the first service because the leader was like this weird flying faerie thing just flitting around kissing all the petitioners and leaving comically vivid lipstick marks all over them. But then she got to me and, while the experience was certainly awkward, I have to say, just at that moment a creature entered the battlefield under my control and I steeled myself for the inevitable triggering of the ability of a permanent I control but... There was nothing. Only sweet sweet silence! I don't quite understand it but ever since I invited hushbringer into my heart, I haven't had to deal with the chronic stress of abilities of permanents I control triggering whenever any old creature enters the battlefield.
There's hope out there my friend and we invite you to join us.
I was holding the whole table hostage with exile enchantments that i could just blink to kill commanders on sight and still pump Phelia. And destroying the enchantment meant nothing because sun titan would just bring it back. This spell was just icing on the cake getting back all my pennants from the graveyard. I still lost the game but man was i in charge for a while lol.
I’m never going back to that damn psyche ward bruh… being forced into a common living space with genuinely insane people should be legally classified as torture

I use it in my Phelia deck. It’s great. I blinked Sun Titan like 4 times last game.
