Arbitrary Token of the Week: Lightning Rager (C15)

This week’s arbitrary token is Svetlin Velinov’s 5/1 red Elemental creature token named Lightning Rager with trample, haste, and “At the beginning of the end step, sacrifice this creature”, created by Rite of the Raging Storm from Commander 2015. This nifty red enchantment was printed in the Blue-Red Mizzix of the Izmagus precon, and while it was generally a card that was cut during optimizing the deck, I’ve gotten a chance to see it in play, and it is very fun smashing one another with 5/1 Ball Lightnings. Stick it in your budget Omnath, Locus of Rage deck and go ham!

How would myriad work with the Lighting Rager produced by Rite of the Raging Storm?

The Lightning Rager token created by Rite of the Raging Storm’s trigger can’t attack you or planeswalkers you control, but your opponent can put a token copy of it onto the battlefield attacking you or a planeswalker you control when the Myriad trigger resolves. This gets around the restriction on RotRS since the new token wasn’t declared as an attacker.
