![]() ![]() Note that Virtus's life loss effect does not count as commander damage. If you can play Wound Reflection or the new Archfiend of Despair to double up on the life loss, then Virtus is no longer cute but an actual killing threat. This dynamic is cute, but it should be used with additional support that takes advantage of someone losing large amounts of life, such as Exquisite Blood. Gorm is a pseudo- Lure with large toughness. Buckle up for even more Atraxa deck updates to be uploaded to the EDHREC database over the next month because of these two characters. Ezuri and Atraxa have the colors to run Pir as well, and they probably will. Any of those commanders would love to add Toothy by himself in their 99. In the number six slot is The Locust God. The three Top Commanders that use Chasm Skulker are Ezuri, Claw of Progress, Atraxa, Praetors' Voice, and Marchesa, the Black Rose. Toothy is a better version of Chasm Skulker, which is already pretty good. ![]() It's not an optional ability, so your enchantments get an extra cumulative upkeep counter and an opponent's Hapatra, Vizier of Poisons puts an extra -1/-1 counter on your stuff, which is probably undesirable so maybe try not to do so much of that. It works when you put a planeswalker on the field to get an additional starting loyalty point and also when that planeswalker uses a plus ability to gain yet another extra point. It works on lands like Vivid Grove, odd enchantments like As Foretold, and all those artifacts that use charge counters. It works on any type of permanent, not just +1/+1 counters on creatures. Effectively, his ability is almost equivalent to Atraxa, Praetors' Voice's proliferate ability. Pir is not just a walking Hardened Scales. Hopefully, you already own a copy of Krark's Thumb, because the price of that card just sextupled when these two were revealed. In other words, there aren't many different ways to build this deck.įor what it's worth, Frenetic Efreet lets you do naughty things by putting an arbitrarily large number of coin flip triggers on the stack, which Zndrsplt could then use to enable Laboratory Maniac or Okaun could use to get a couple hundred power and toughness. However, like the previous set's buy-a-box promo card commander(s) Firesong and Sunspeaker, there are a very limited number of cards that specifically work to the strengths of the commander, so these decks will likely not see as much diversity in card selection as other commanders. It seems that Will is the better card of the two, but we're comparing a blue card to a red card so that is not entirely unexpected.Ĭoin flips! Those are fun, right? Right? Anyone who ever wanted to make a coin-flip-tribal deck now has something relevant to put in the command zone. If they ever reach their ultimate, then a target player (probably yourself) gets to do certain things twice as much. Will's second ability draws two cards and makes many card types cheaper to cast until your next turn, which feels generically Jace-like. She will need some protection to last long enough to use that second ability, so maybe try to cast Will first. If she survives the onslaught, her second ability might kill off some of the attackers. Rowan's first ability is the opposite of that, encouraging the scary creatures to charge into the fray. Just me? Not anymore! Ha!Īnyway, Will's first ability is akin to a temporary Deep Freeze or Polymorphist's Jest, which helps defend himself against scary opponent creatures. Personally, I picture these two entering the battlefield with a sassy alternating rhyme right before they abduct all the local species of Pokemon and you have to spend the rest of the game chasing them around to rescue the critters and learn the value of friendship. Then again, there used to be more than one blond Targaryen sibling running around, so that's another possibility. Some fans of contemporary adult fantasy television have compared these two blond siblings with certain characters of the Lannister name. I'm not talking about how to play Battlebond, or Two-Headed Giant, or drafting, or any of that, just looking at these cards and how they stand up in the EDH format. Hey, there's a new set with the partner mechanic! That means I can dust off this article series and talk some more about partners in Commander decks. ![]()
