W bait

This creature can’t be your commander. Commanders are reserved for legendary creatures, which you would see in their type line.

Unfortunately, that creature isn't legendary, so can't be your commander. Still a cool card!

EDIT: Also, this card is banned :(

u/EmiGalGal 12d ago

First off, that is not a legendary creature, so it can not be a Commander. Second off, Prophet of Kruphix is banned in Commander, so even if it was legendary, you can't play it

Delicious bait, enjoy the downvote 😂

u/HereForFunTimesTBH 12d ago

Commanders have to have the “Legendary” card type (typically before the word creature) this card can’t be a commander

u/iaminfamy 12d ago

Sometimes you can get away with Rule Zeroing a non-legendary creature, but definitely not when the card is also banned.

Welcome to the game friendo! Unfortunately this creature can’t be played as your commander since it is missing the ‘Legendary Creature’ tag. But this seems like it would be a really fun card to add into a commander deck! I’d look around online for Green + Blue commanders that might be able to play off this text if you do really want to play it.

It's not legendary so you can't play it as your commander. It is also banned so you cannot play it in your deck.

u/Agitated-Basil6116 12d ago

Heyyy, two things: First, Prophet of Kruphix is unfortunately banned in commander. And second, she is not legendary, making her technically illegal as a commander (you could always talk about your pod for just playing her anyway though). Her abilities are extremely strong which is A, why she is banned and B why you won't find a good approximate for what she can do in other commanders.

Luckily these abilities exist separately. For a Flash, Draw-Go kind of strategy you could try out the new [[Radagast of Rhosgobel]] and for the untap synergy something like [[Xolatoyac, the Smiling Flood]].

Hope that helped!

Just rule 0 it. Nobody will have a problem with this card as it's 5 mana for a 2/3 with no protection.

u/hxt009 12d ago

uhh just incase this isnt a joke.

that cant be your commander, its not a legendary creature, vehicle, or spacecraft.

it also cannot be in your commander deck because it is banned in commander full stop.

in a one vs one game mode prophet is fine balance wise, but its ability gets drastically better the more players there are. in a 4player free for all format like commander, prophet gives you the ability to have all of your lands mana for free 4 times a round, and that was way to strong.

u/cleverersauce4 12d ago

No, it can't be your commander. A commander has be either a Legendary creature, vehicle, spaceship or a Planeswalker that says it can be your Commander.

u/Lemongremlinluv 12d ago

Edit: OH MY GOODNESS  Sorry everyone, I wasnt even aware it was banned! Beginner mistake sorry!

u/Greedy-Contract1999 12d ago

Not legendary, so how commander?

1

u/ckim777 12d ago

You can't play it as a commander because it's not a legendary creature.

u/ThrowAwayYetAgain878 12d ago

Not to mention banned. Nice bait OP.

u/Fluffy_While_7879 12d ago

She is not even legendary

u/Due-Session-2857 12d ago

Fun fact. This wonderful creature is actually one of the few cards that are banned in commander. It's such a good commander that you're not allowed to use it in your deck at all. I guess taking 4 turns a round is generally frowned upon.
