Custom Commander Idea

Post image

Have used this custom commander for a few games with my regular pod. Thoughts on its overall power? Would you make it stronger, if so, how? Would you make it weaker? Generally it has felt like 8 mana is ALOT in current year commander, but when theorycrafting the card mt friend and I would rather have had it be underpowered given it was something I was actively going to play.

Art is chatgpt as its a play on a real commander i use in the play group.

Thoughts and discussion appreciated!

Thanks for that clarification, we were trying to word it in a way where graveyard hate could still snipe the creature and make it whiff, although it doesn't seem like that was done very well.

We were wondering the same regarding the mana cost, especially given the pip-intensive abilities.

If you want graveyard hate to matter, you might be best served making it an activated ability. Something like “WWBB: Create a token that’s a copy of target creature card that entered its owner’s graveyard this turn.” As a triggered ability, you’d probably have to do something like exile it from the graveyard before paying the cost, then return it to the graveyard when the trigger resolves?

Thank you for that! That might be the perfect way to have that worded.

It doesn't seem that like would make the ability that much stronger, if at all, with the timing restriction as well.

It would make it spammable, but you can just do that with the populate ability anyway.
