I’ve been working on a custom commander set and I’m playing with a few different mechanics that I find interesting. First off I think the most interesting and underutilized aspect of commander are creatures that take advantage of the unique rules that commander imposes upon the commander. A few notable examples of cards taking advantage of this are Prossh with his tokens increasing off the Commander Tax, and Derevi who avoids being cast altogether.
This is a new take on the new experience counter mechanic we’ve seen in the most recent commander set. I think it’s really interesting flavor wise to see a character who is stalking her prey, and her prey is aware of the ever growing danger in the woods, her woods. Vina know’s these lands like no other and her comrades are boundless, they just.. take some time to gather.
I’m not sure about her power or what kind of deck she makes as I primarily build cards for flavor but I like her and hope that you will too. Please I encourage you to give me feedback about her design.
