And I’m back with the second post looking at cards from Rivals of Ixalan that I like for Commander.

The first card for this post is Mastermind’s Acquisition. A 4 CMC black sorcery that allows you to tutor (that’s MtG talk I believe for search) for a card in either your library or outside the game. So you can bet I’m taking a pile of ‘useful’ cards with me to Commander games when I have this in my deck. Those ‘useful’ cards will for me be those cards that very nearly made it in to the 99. My reasoning is if they were good enough to be almost in, then they are good enough to be in what will effectively be a sideboard. The reason I’d take this approach is it’s less hassle than taking my whole collection along to games with me.

Although there are 6 of them, this is only really one choice, and it’s the Elder dinosaurs. These are BFD’s (Think about it). I think one or two are slightly weaker than the others. But if you need a big hitter with a nice added bonus then these fit in nicely to any none tribal deck. Etali is the commander for my mono red deck, with Zacama the commander of my dinosaur tribal deck. I think that that should tell you what I think of those cards.
