mtg drain life cards Magic the Gathering Adventures: [Modern] Deck Part 1 of 2 Mint / near mint condition trading card So much Gain & Drain.

Cards like "Ancient Grudge" for artifact removal, "Negate" for countering spells, or even "Pithing Needle" to shut down specific abilities can help you respond to different forms of counterplay

Dont underestimate not having to ask everyone if they pay at the table, for every spell

For starters, it's quite hard for opponents to get rid of Sensei's Divining Top once you play it, given its built-in tuck myself into the library ability

Then they shuffle each nonland permanent they control into its owner's library

One other commander that I considered was the Partnered pair of Anara, Wolvid Familiar and Yoshimaru, Ever Faithful, and while those two certainly succeed in the flavor department, they simply dont synergize well with the rest of the deck

Making Commander decks can be tiring work
