This week’s challenge asked you to find the fine line between common and rare when it came to commanders, and you all did a fantastic job!
Winners: Gurah, the Forerunner by @scavenger98
and Tarah, Warfront Armorsmith by @dumbellsndragons
Two Winners? Of course! They Have Partner!
Gurah is a lesson in keyword management, encouraging you to fill your deck with all manner of tramplers to fuel your onslaught! However, being red/black means that their power level is going to be restricted by what colour you pair them with (green obviously being the best choice).
Tarah is an early game threat and a late game helper, coming down on turn 2 to help give all your creatures just a bit of a boost, their power level staying around the same no matter what colour/s you pair them with.
But wait, there’s more!
For an extra bonus, here’s the pair that I drafted with the best synergy!
Titus of Ardenvale by @teaxch
Uya, Sparkhaven Prodigy by @emmypupcake
Two things you’re sure to draft in a set like commander legends are legendary creatures and noncombat damage sources, and this pair lets you weaponize them! This pair encourages sending Titus into battle so you can cast them again, getting a stockpile of counters on Uya to supercharge your burn! This pair also ensures that any other legendaries you decide to run in the deck act as mini power boosts!
And that’s our winners for the week! I’ll have the commentary up in the next few days, and a special post dedicated to @askkrenko‘s challenge to match their mystery partner! As always, the Discord is buzzing with all kinds of mtg and custom card chatter. The current community contest being run on the discord is to revive an old creature as a zombie! If you’d like to have a go at it yourself, or just come hang out, just follow the link HERE.
Abelzumi will be back on sunday with a brand new contest. Until then, enjoy your weekend!
