This makes sense: mono black is sure to have plenty of kill spells, and this deck needs as much ramp as it can get to bring out its absurd nine mana commander, especially since he's going to be a lightning rod for removal, Ward cost aside
Last updated on October 20, 2025 Warrior's Oath | Illustration by Eric Deschamps Magic is a fantastic game with a lot of nuance to its rules
Black doesnt have the best overall commons, but Engine Rat, Grim Bauble and Wreckage Wickerfolk do an excellent job of gumming up the early game
Where We Are Now Double Major, The Apprentices Folly, Quantum Misalignments, and Irenicuss Vile Duplication are temporary producers, blips of spells that essentially allow you two of the same commander (and one of them with flying to boot)
This is also one of the best commanders reprinted in Foundations , making Tatyova very accessible to most players
Dont necessarily feel like you have to evolve a Pokmon right away as soon as you have enough candies
