![]() Procession gives you twice the tokens, while Divine Visitation turns your small 1/1 Soldiers into large 4/4 Angels! Since we’re in white and are aiming to go with tokens, I cannot recommend enough pieces like Anointed Procession and Divine Visitation. Each creature that enters the battlefield makes the others bigger than the last. This enchantment will ensure that none of your creatures will have their starting base power. The first card that comes to mind is Cathars’ Crusade. For this particular brew, I want to go into the territory of tokens.īoros has a lot to offer in this area, and there is a lot you can do with Baird at the helm. I look at him and I know exactly what I want to do. Baird is one of those commanders that excites me from the start. Baird, Argivian Recruiterīaird is back, baby, and this time he has some red in his color identity! I always knew he had a bit of a rage problem. There’s just something about Astor that makes Boros Equipment and Vehicles exciting again. A two-mana crew six Vehicle is definitely intense, but we love to see a two-mana crew one that gives you mana and gains you life. I love this card so much, and it fits well into Astor’s high-cost range. Astor puts the cards in your hand when he enters the battlefield, true, but Sram is consistent.īut what if I told you that you could make Astor a bit more consistent? Well, with Helm of the Host, she can be! That pesky five-mana equip cost now drops to one, and Astor gets a twin that has yet another enters-the-battlefield trigger, giving you more options straight to your hand!įinally, we have Colossal Plow. Boros and card advantage have had a bit of a rocky relationship in the past, but Sram is here to patch things up with consistent card draw every time you cast an Equipment or Vehicle spell. Such heavy hitters are exactly what Astor wants to run and get out early in the game.Īstor also has a bit of a bestie in this deck: Sram, Senior Edificer. They have low mana values, but their equip and crew costs are high. Pieces like Colossus Hammer and Consulate Dreadnought come to mind. I’ll be the first to admit that I am getting a bit tired of seeing Boros Equipment decks however, Astor, Bearer of Blades refreshes the theme a little bit with a neat enters-the-battlefield trigger and by adding Vehicles into the mix! Astor’s ability to reduce equip and crew costs down to one is incredibly exciting as well! What can I say? I’m greedy! Adding Luminous Broodmoth to this brew is a fun way to run recursion in this list because the creatures you sacrifice to Aron come back, but this time with flying counters! Now you don’t have to say goodbye to your precious creatures. I personally struggle with sacrificing my own things. Pieces like Mer-Ek Nightblade, Abzan Battle Priest, and Abzan Falconer turn your creatures into some pretty potent keyword-holders.Īron wants things to die, especially by his hand, so why not introduce a couple of cards that will cheer him on? I’m talking about Aristocrat effects! Blood Artist Syr Konrad, the Grim Zulaport Cutthroat Cruel Celebrant, you name it! Maximizing what would normally be considered a downside can definitely help propel this deck forward in power level. A large chunk of outlast creatures give creatures with +1/+1 counters some pretty nifty abilities. Speaking of counters, I want to introduce to you the umbrella of outlast creatures. With her out on the battlefield, Aron gives your creatures two +1/+1 counters as opposed to one. On her own, she seems a bit weak, but in the 99 of a counter-focused deck, she is absolutely amazing. Starting out strong, let’s give some love to a newer card, Lae’zel, Vlaakith’s Champion. That and his cheap ability make for an interesting framework for a deck. His mana value to power/toughness ratio hits a great deckbuilding sweet spot for me. Starting off strong, we have Aron, Benalia’s Ruin, a surprisingly potent uncommon legendary that focuses on creature sacrifice and doling out +1/+1 counters to all of your creatures. After some community gauging, this spread will not include domain commanders because of their low viability as commanders in the meta. It can be a bit overwhelming however, this week (and next week) I’ll help alleviate that by sharing with you a small sampling of cards for each new main-set legendary creature and how I would brew with them as a commander. Do we start with the weirdly small pickles, the Wheat Thins, or the cheese that also has fruit in it? And much like a normal charcuterie board, there are lots of options for us to choose from. With strategies ranging from spellslinger to tokens, Dominaria United is currently the charcuterie board of the commander meta. Dominaria United is jam-packed with flavor, lore, and the most important thing a Commander player cares about: new legendary creatures! The main set features an impressive selection of 41 brand-new legendary creatures ripe for the command zone.
