Magic: The Gathering Strixhaven Commander Deck – Lorehold Legacies (Red-White) Minimal Packaging Version

Product Information

Gargadon’s ability says “Sacrifice an artifact, creature or land” as a cost. Then, “Remove a time counter from Greater Gargadon” is the actual effect. This means that you can sacrifice one of the indicated permanents, then activate the ability again before you remove the time counter. targeted removal; Alibou, Ancient Witness, Duplicant, Hellkite Tyrant, Hoard-Smelter Dragon, Steel Hellkite, Angel of the Ruins, Meteor Golem, Bosh, Iron Golem, Dispatch, Rip Apart, Excavation Technique, Return to Dust, Dispeller's Capsule, Unstable Obelisk, Darksteel Mutation Frostwalk Bastion– If you include this card, you might want to consider switching your basic Lands for Snow-Covered basics. If this ends up being the case, you can include other Snow synergies.

Another card that is situational, but very powerful. Whether it’s messing with someone trying to do a recursion loop or just getting a copy of your opponent’s best creature for 3 mana, there’s a lot of room for getting your mana’s worth.Phillip: Like, this seems good, but I think the most powerful part of it is the scry 1 for something like Dragon’s Approach still if you are casting big spells then you get big tokens, or effects, but how often are you doing that? Phillip: I think the real thing to do with this is ignoring the fractal token you make, and equip it to a commander that get’s +1/+1s and go to town.

Because I don’t want to mention them in every section, there are a few artifact creatures that could go in every tribe. They are Adaptive Automaton, Bloodline Pretender, and Metallic Mimic. The effect is certainly powerful, but it might be a little too fair. Undoing all the advantage that land ramping green player has done to get ahead on lands with a single card is pretty fun though! You might just have to make do with them, though, since they are on the short list of artifact tutors that you have access to in these colors. Gamble also works, as does Nahiri, the Harbinger. New Cards From Strixhaven A very nice boardwipe. Forcing players to sacrifice rather than destroying is extremely relevant, because there are far more ways to prepare for the latter than the former. Not a lot of Sigarda, Host of Herons waiting to ambush you at instant speed. Normally allowing them to keep their best creature has significant downside but the vow counter removes that nicely.Card ability matches its name perfectly. Probably not worth the slot most of the time for me, but you can absolutely make some political hay with this. Silverquills wield the magic of words, from inspiring battle poetry to biting arcane insults. Stylish, intimidating, and tirelessly competitive, these mages are born leaders with a razor-sharp wit and natural charisma that can be used for good or for ill. Their motto is "Sharp style. Sharper wit." Phillip: This card has obvious enormous potential to grab you a copy of something you want. It’s an amazing way to counter an opposing hullbreacher or opposition agent. I like this one, and it can really get there if flashed in at the right time, or even just have a chilling effect on the counters player at the table. The addition of ability counters in Ikoria makes the fact this gets any kind of counters even more interesting.
