Don’t mind me, I’m just a little bit obsessed with this couple these pictures (which are not mine)

Overlooked General of the Day... Adamaro, First to Desire We will be highlighting three questions about Adamaro, •Why is he overlooked? •Why should you use this general? •How can you build for Adamaro? -So, let's start off with the first question, why is Adamaro overlooked as a general? Well in Magic there are a handful of cards whose power and toughness are equal to the cards in your hand, and can be exploited by card draw with no maximum hand size, and that tends to be a lot easier to control than your opponents hand sizes; especially when you want them to have more cards. This tends to present a challenge to many players due to the fact that your opponents having more spells in hand is almost never good for you, and they can empty their own hands by playing spells. It is because of these challenges that Adamaro tends to be overlooked as a general. -Why use Adamaro in your EDH deck then? As always the point of EDH is fun, and though there are much better generals out there, this card is inherently unique due to his power and toughness being equal to the largest hand size of an opponent. This being said many EDH games are played in multiplayer, and there is almost always the opponent that loves to have seven cards in hand at all times. That being said, in many matches you can pull out a 6/6 or 7/7 Adamaro on turn two or three which changes the board state greatly in your favor. Also, Adamaro is OVERLOOKED, this means that the odds are in your favor for your opponents not paying much attention to his ability and leaving you alone until you pull him out. Finally, his unique requirements for power and toughness can lead you to building a deck unlike any that you've ever seen to optimize your general. -I don't like suggesting cards to go with others because it limits your thinking and imagination; however, I suggest putting as many counters on him as possible so that way he can never die from having your opponent(s) hand being empty. Find cards that let the entire table draw cards, or even just your opponents to boost Adamaro, and as a slight change to your mono red commander deck I would stray from the direct damage route, not because it is more competitive, but because direct damage is a deck that everyone has seen. Overall, I really enjoy Adamaro, First to Desire, and I feel that he is a unique card that was printed in a set where the term legendary was moot; however, I highly suggest looking into him for your next EDH build. Thank you for reading and stay tuned, Overlookedmtg
