Magic: The Gathering – 10 Best Cards For Commander From Lord Of The Rings: Tales Of Middle-🧔earth
With so many new cards to choose from, which ones are the b♕est for Commander?
Scene Boxes are the best way to pick upꦇ the new cards coming in the second wave of releases, depicting epic scenes from the books and giving players all-new cards to pla🧸y with. Among these Scene Boxes come some incredibly powerful cards so let’s take a look at some of the coolest cards you pick up from the Special Edition.
10 Call Forth The ♏Tempest
The Hour Is Later Than You Think.
Getting multiple 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:cascade triggers off of a single 💫spell is amazing and Call Forth the Tempest not only gives you three spells for the cost of one but deals damage while it's at it. This eight-mana spell has two cascade triggers, letting you exile the top card of your library until you find a spell that costs seven or fewer mana, and then you do it again.
Once you’re done getting your free spells, Call Forth the Tempest then deals damage to each creature your opponents control equal to the comb🧜ined mana value of all other spells you’ve cast this turn. While it can be a little unreliable, you could always flip over two one-cost spells, you’ll likely get a few cards for free.
9 𝐆 Galadriel, Light Of Valinor ⛄
All Shall Love Me And Despair!
A green, ﷽white, and blue v🐻ersion of the legendary Elf from Middle-earth, Galadriel, Light of Valinor gains a powerful ability that triggers when other creatures enter the battlefield under your control.
Anytime another creature comes into play, you get to pick between adding three green mana, placing a +1/+1 counter on all creatures you control, or 💫perhaps most importantly, scrying 2 and then drawing a card. Wit💧h plenty of effects to flicker your own creatures at instant speed, you can keep triggering her abilities on your opponent’s turns over and over again for tons of value.
8 Nazgul Battle-Mace 🔯
“Now He Was Come Again, Bringing Ruin, Turning Hope To Despair.”
Since Magic introduced equipment years ago, players have embraced the artifact type for powerful results in Magic. With the release of the Nazgul Battle-Mage you can wield one of the 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:strongest pieces of equipment Magic has introduced in some time.
This Mace gives the equipped creature menace, deathtouch, and annihilator 1, ♛a deadly suite of abilities that can overwhelm many opponents just on its own. As if that wasn’t enough, the equipped creature also has an ability that lets you steal sacrificed nontoken permanents unless they pay three life. Eventually, you’ll start breaking down your opponent’s defenses, giving you room to swing in over and over again.
7 Gandal�⛦�f Of The Secret Fire
Wielder of the Flame of Anor
Casting an instant or sorcery spell can sometimes be a little disappointing, you generally only get to do it💦 once and then its done. Not with Gandalf of the Secret Fire, however, who sends your cards away for three turns only to have them return to help you in the future.
Anytime you cast an instant or sorcery from your hand specifically during an oppon🌌ent’s turn, you suspend it with three time counters when it resolves. Once the three time counters fall off you get to cast it again. The key🦩 clause here is you have to play those cards during an opponent’s turn, forcing you to wait to cast most of your spells.
6 Mists Of Lórien 🦹
Golden Leaves And Hazy Mists
There are plenty of ways to♐ keep your cards safe, and an often overlooked one is simply putting everything back in your op🦩ponent’s hand. With the Mists of Lorien, you have a chance to pick and choose which cards you want to get rid of, or all of them if you have enough mana.
Mists of Lor💛ien bounces a nonland permanent and all other permanents that share a mana value back to their owner’s hand. You can copy it each time you pay the replicate cost of one blue mana. If you target a token, you get to say goodbye to all tokens. If you hit a one drop, all one-mana cards go back to everyone’s hands, making it a great way to deal with all sorts of scenarios.
5 Sorcerous Squall 🔴
Free Spells For Three Mana (Kinda)
Delve is an interesting mechanic, one that is very, very good at letting you cast big spells for much cheaper. Normally costing꧋ nine mana, Sorcerous Squall costs one less generic mana for each card you exile from your graveyard, potentially reducing it all the way down to just three blue mana.
MTG – The 10 Most Valuable Lord Of The Ri♌ngs: Tales Of Middle-earth Box Toppers
Not recommended for the faint of heart.
When Sorcerous Squall resolves, you get to pick an opponent and make them mill nine cards. From all the instant and sorcery spells in their graveyard, you get to cast one for free, exiling Sorcerous Squall afterward. It's a one-time use spell, but one that is just as strong as the best card in your opponent’s graveyard.
4 🌟 Aragorn, H🅺ornburg Hero
No One Will Take It
Naya commanders have a 168澳﷽洲幸运5开奖网:history of working🔥 with +1/+1 counters and Aragorn, Hornburg Hero might be one of the best. Any time you attack with any creature, they gain both first strike 🧜and renown 1, meaning 🐟if they deal combat damage to a player, if they’re not already renowned, they gain a +1/+1 counter and become renown.
Once a 🧔creature is renowned, the next time they would deal combat damage to a player you get to double the number of +1/+1 counters on it, helping t𝐆hem deal more and more damage every time they attack.
3 Legolas's Quick Reflexes
The Perfect Protection Spell
Keeping your com🧔mander safe is vital in most commander games and if you’re in green you already have a great suite of spells to do so, but one of the best the game has ever seen could be Legolas’s Quick Reflexes. This card untaps a creature, giving it hexproof, reach, and making it so that if it becomes tapped it also deals damage equal to its power to another creature.
The key component to this is tha♔t Legolas’s Quick Reflexes has split second, making it so long as it is on the stack, no one can cast spells or active abilities in respon๊se unless that ability produces mana.
2 Minas Morgu🌊l, Dark Fortress
Fill It With Your Enemies
A utility land to start pushing damage through, Minas Morgul, Dark Fortress brings back a rarely used mechanic, shadow, with a new twist. For four mana, ♚you get to put a shadow counter on any creature, making it a Wraith in addition to its other creature types.
Creatures with shadow cannot be blocked except by creatures with shadow, and cannot block other creatures unless they have shadow, which fits given the nature of the Unseen world in Lord of the Rings. Giving a creature shado🅷w al൩l but guarantees you’ll be able to sneak some combat damage through, giving your opponents very few ways to stop it.
1 Galadriel's Dismissal
Protect Your Realm
Single-target protection spells like Legolas’s Quick Reflexes are great for keeping one creature safe, but if yoꦓu’re looking to keep eve🧸rything you control safe, Galadriel’s Dismissal is the best choice.
For just one mana, one creature phases out, effectively m🦄aking them not part of the game until your next turn. If you pay the kicker cost, however, all creatures owned by one player phase out. You can use this spell in a number of ways, like protecting your creatures from a board wipe, or by preventing an opponent from attacking you with their unstoppable army. It doesn’t save your other permanents, so make sure you plan accordingly.
