Commander Spotlight!

I love love love this commander. Sovereign Okinec Ahau is one of, if not my all-time favorite commander to play. He ramps so quickly, I’ve gotten to unimaginable P/T levels with him.

50,000/50,000 with the right setup! Isn’t that insane? He’s so strong and versatile, yet I rarely see people use him!

Commander Spotlight!

Tonight we’ll be highlighting one of my favorite Boros commanders: Tajic, Legion’s Valor! He might look underwhelming at first, but let me tell you, Tajic will lead you to more victories than even the blessing of Iroas would get you!

As some of you may know, Boros Soldiers is one of my favorite combos to play, and Tajic makes it all the more fun! Just look at his spellbook:

(Note: You can also run these cards separately in your deck, so you have double the Soldiers! Just watch out for the Legend Rule with Aurelia though!)

If that isn’t a fantastic lineup of cards, I don’t know what is, y’all. And what’s even better is when you pair him up with someone like Odric, Lunarch Marshal (who will get his own Spotlight in a future post).

With Odric at Tajic’s side, not only are you getting Indestructible for your whole board, but you’re also creating more creatures with more keywords for Odric to share around! They really are a winning pair, game-ending even!

(Tajic got returned to my hand/command zone after combat started, but Odric’s buff lasts until end of turn, so I kept my Indestructible here!)

It’s quite old, I’ve been meaning to look into more ways to spice it up, but if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it right? Anyway, enjoy and have fun stomping the competition!
