Today’s recent commander sleeper is a three-for-one, all fulfilling the same purpose and all from the same set, our first foray in this series into Warhammer 40,000′s cards. Now, one of those got a bit more popularity than the others and is a bit more expensive, Necron Deathmark clocks in at a few dollars, currently, but I felt like if I was gonna talk about these, might as well include it.

Removal and interaction! Crucial to any self-respecting Commander deck, it’s always neat to have more options for it. More specifically, creature removal that comes stapled on creature etbs, which is a specific kind that is easy to synergize with to reuse, be it through reanimation, blinking, bouncing, cloning and more. None of these are quite as clean and cheap as a Ravenous Chupacabra, but they all come with some serious upside to justify the extra mana.

First of all, Callidus Assassin and Necron Deathmark both come in with Flash, a VERY valuable keyword on your interaction, since it can stop much more, and allows you to act with full information of what your opponent is doing. Callidus Assassin also gives you a clone of the creature it kills, more akin to an instant-speed Control Magic than a Chupacabra, which is a rare effect to get at that point. Supplant Form is not the best card ever printed, but it’s one I’ve considered playing, for the same cost, and only temporarily removes the card from the opponent. Necron Deathmark is not only a 5/3, but also mills (you, generally) a few cards, which in any deck with black mana, is likely quite an upside.

Our last card here is the only one at sorcery speed, but makes up for it by being way more flexible, being able to act at five mana like either a pinpoint removal or a targeted Massacre Wurm, clearing out a token player’s board getting out of control, killing utility creatures, killing creatures that blocked this turn, or making blocking much more awkward for a player. That flexibility is hard to match, and I think worth more than the one mana premium you’d pay on a Chupacabra or Nekrataal to get access to it.

All three of these are excellent options I encourage you to consider when building or updating your decks, giving some competition to chupacabras, and even shriekmaw sometimes.

Inktober recovery sketches for days:11, 12, 13- Necron week.

As I was away from home a couple of days, I managed to slip in a few experimental scribbles for inktober, since i plan to do my best to draw a little something for all the days. Not particularly proud of the Deathmark portrait one, but this is all about the practice and the learning experience, so I’ll let it slide.
