And for that, we're going to need clones.Ĭloning Dead Things is a Bad Idea. But I really want multiple instances of all of Xander's triggers happening each turn. I’ve got a few flicker effects, like Ghostly Flicker, Thassa, Deep-Dwelling, and Conjurer’s Closet, to keep hitting that enter trigger. But with Xander’s enters and dies triggers, I’m not so sad to see him coming and going. It's also difficult to play more than once with the commander tax. And a 7MV commander takes a long time to get to the board. Why? Because I like to build my decks around my commander, and that usually requires the commander to be out. I rarely brew them, and even more rarely do I build them. 7 mana for a commander is a big deal, especially when you’re not in green. Just a whole lot of stuff going to the graveyard. And when he dies, an opponent sacrifices half of their nonland permanents. When he attacks, the defending player Mills half their library. When he enters the field, you make target opponent discard half their cards. Please? Maybe? Xander is a 6/6 vampire demon noble with no keywords abilities. But for 7 mana, I think we’ll get a pass. The salt is a little high with this one, as all three of his triggered abilities do things that some players don’t like. He’s already been killed by Ob Nixilis (spoilers, sorry). So I’m here today to give you a deck tech for one of them. So of course, it’s time for previews of the next set! Streets of New Capenna card previews have already given us a ton of spice (or halo, if you prefer), including some fantastic new 3-color legends that can be your commander. Kamigawa: Neon Dynasty just came out, like, last week.
