I know there are similarly themed cards, some of which were just in Shards or Zen. Tier 3 deck, among the most fun I had.įailing a non legendary commander house rule which I doubt many would play especially competitively what tricks could you use to “pseudo-commander” it for lack of a better term. But I pulled off the swing numerous times. This card stood out to me as one that supremely rewarded you if you could hit all you colors and it’s balanced because although it’s evasive and out of range of reds Instant burn and some of blacks “Terror”-like “non black” kill spells it’s relatively easy to dispatch especially in that format where Maelstrom Pulse, Oblivion Ring, Terminate, and Path to Exile not to mention Basilisk colored pingers were rampant. I don’t want to say the card got me back into magic but I bought a collection of almost complete sets of the entire Shards block and always loved the themes of multicolor and the direction they took it in in shards. In Shards of Alara block / Zendiakar block I would bring standard decks to FNM builT around it knowing I would lose just because if how fun it was scrambling for WUBRG, and tapping my blood thorn taunter to go at it with the Angel, then casting Emrakul Aeons Torn and Iona / Sphinx of the steel wind for free. Is there a format that uses non legendary commanders, because this card always felt legendary?Ĭrazily people use to like playing standard lol.
