![]() ![]() Look to utilise white’s abilities to pump out Soup-strategy Creatures early game with Aerial Responder, Healer’s Hawk or Fiendslayer Paladi as a means of establishing a difficult board to attack into. Rograkh can still be quite a menace in the early game but playing him with no way to protect him or buff him is just adding a sitting duck in the middle of a pack of hungry wolves. Unlike most Red-White decks, this Partner combo wants to be active in more of the mid and late game as opposed to relying on an aggro strategy to burst your opponents down. “Kari Zev, Skyship Raider” by Brad Rigney Other notable mentions include Kari Zev, Skyship Raider and Homura, Human Ascendant as a great means of providing Akroma with targets for her abilities. Potential deck inclusions could be: Basilisk Collar for Lifelink and Deathtouch (and +2/+2 when Akroma’s out), Aerial Responder as an early game life gain outlet and Akroma’s Memorial just to send a message late game.īut unlike Odric or the other aforementioned Commanders, this partner pairing gives us access to red, a colour known for its explosive fast plays and powerful targeted and area-of-effect removal spells to open a path for a swift and decisive victory.Īs for the Soup strategy, it gives us the added boost of cards like Embercleave, Bloodmark Mentor, Goblin War Drums, Ferocity of the Wilds and Fervor to help give your Creatures multiple relevant keywords to boost their power mid-game and during the late game. Pairing them with other equipment or enchantments that give them additional keywords makes them so much more potent and threatening. With Akroma’s ability to buff fellow keyword soup creatures, she can turn even the measly 0/1 Rograkh into a decent-sized 4/5 first strike, menace, trample just by heading to combat. Common all-stars in this front are Odric, Lunarch Marshal, Kathril, Aspect Warper and Rayami, First of the Fallen. Sifting through the remaining possible 1560 pairs will definitely remain a challenge, so let’s begin!Īlong with my analysis of these partners, I’ll be offering a miniature deck tech with suggested card pairings and combos for the deck!įor the uninitiated? Soup strategy relies on cards that possess a flurry of Magic’s mechanics, to buff or share these keywords among other Creatures. I’m discounting pairs containing The Prismatic Piper as he doesn’t offer that great of a deck-building advantage, and I’m also not considering pairs with older partners from the Commander 2016 decks. Each piece is unique and has its flavour and style, but some pairs overlap colour schemes, some pairs don’t flow cohesively and some pairs lend themselves to strong, complementary synergies.įor this article, I’d like to look at and bet on potential colour pairs from Commander Legends that’ll shake-up both casual and competitive Commander pods alike. Unlike its sister mechanic, “Partner With” which limits your choice of Creature pairing to a particular pair and nobody else, Partner works like a Barbie doll – mix the tops and bottoms any way you like. Weird food combos aside, this week I’m taking a quick dive into the latest returning mechanic shaking up the world of Commander with Partner! A mechanic first printed in Commander 2016, then vanishing until its sister, “ Partner With” was printed in the set known as Battlebond in mid-2018, before finally making a resurgence in the upcoming Commander Legends (2020) set! ![]() Shrimp Paste and Mangoes! Wait, no that doesn’t sound very appetising… ![]()
