Invasion of Gobakhan // Lightshield Array Chief: Ill be the first person to admit that an Elite Spellbinder effect isnt that impactful in the average Commander game
First, its a good commander for Squirrel decks
It reads: At the beginning of your end step, if one or more creatures died this turn, you gain that much life and distribute that many +1/+1 counters among creatures you control. Basically, if youre playing a deck that kills things or sacrifices your own creatures, especially in token decks, you get a lot of life and can make your creatures stronger
Of course, the December payoff is still pretty wacky
In the worst-case scenario, it dies and you get to recast it as soon as you have a second zombie in play
These cards are here to ensure you dont fall behind in the mid to late game, especially as slower decks start to get their big value engines online
