AS A BONUS HERE ARE WITHOUT FURTHER COMMENTARY THE 10 COMMANDERS I ENJOYED THE MOST FROM THIS YEAR THAT DIDNT MAKE THE ABOVE LIST: Breena, the Demagogue Hofri Ghostforge Plargg, Dean of Chaos // Augusta, Dean of Order Esix, Fractal Bloom Asmoranomardicadaistinaculdacar (IM JUST HAPPY SHE EXISTS) Felisa, Fang of Silverquill Rionya, Fire Dancer Esika, God of the Tree // The Prismatic Bridge Shadrix Silverquill Gisa Glorious Resurrector Incredible list you gotta love those land cycles
Allowing these lands to be fetchable means that any deck with a spare fetch land and nothing else to spend the mana on can find a surveil land and use that mana they otherwise would spend on a spell instead on a selection ability from a surveil land
With all the dual lands and the temptations of Mind Twist and Demonic Tutor a lot of decks wouldn't be able to either block or touch the king of the swamp
Every spell cast each turn will deal damage equal to that spell's mana value to someone else
One of the added abilities was artifact creature focused (granting +1/+1), but the other two were just generally useful abilities that would help you smooth your draw and cast extra cards
