This newness means that building around vehicles is similar, but worse than building around equipments. There are no equivalent vehicle support cards to the likes of Stoneforge Mystic and Puresteel Paladin. Since it is a new subtype, however, vehicles do not have the same amount of support that equipment has. Vehicles fulfill a similar role to equipment by adding oomph to your creatures. It's an easy requirement to meet, since all it wants is for you to tap creatures. These new artifacts can temporarily become creatures if piloted by your creatures. That's not to say that all creatures with fabricate are fantastic in Commander, but rather the good cards with fabricate translate easier to being good in Commander. Hardened Scales), or the servos being artifacts (e.g. Unlike the energy mechanic, there are plenty of synergies to play around with here. You can build around the +1/+1 counters (e.g. $ 0.00 $ 0.00 $ 0.00 $ 0.00 $ 0.00 $ 0.00Ĭreatures with fabricate either enter the battlefield with additional +1/+1 counters or 1/1 servo artifact creatures. There's not a lot of those, but cards like Demon of Dark Schemes has both a great way of generating a lot of energy and an efficient way of spending that energy, making it a worthy inclusion in Black decks even if it's the only card in the deck using the energy mechanic. The energy cards that will be playable in Commander are ones that don't need any support to be good. This shortage may change if the next set in Kaladesh block also includes the energy mechanic! Unfortunately, since Commander is a singleton format and we only have a single set/block of energy cards to work with, there's not enough cards to make an Energy deck that takes advantage of the mechanic.

Many of the better energy cards are only good if you're running a certain amount of energy generators to enable them Aethersquall Ancient's activated ability is impressive if you have eight energy, but without any support it needs to wait four turns to build up enough energy to activate. The only one I can think of are proliferate cards like Tezzeret's Gambit. Unfortunately, the energy mechanics is parasitic, as there is minimal support or synergy for the mechanic outside of Kaladesh. The energy can only be spent through new cards that tell you how to spend them. EnergyĮnergy counters are a new resource that some of the cards from Kaladesh generate. It's time to look over each card and see which ones have the most potential to see play in Commander!īefore I dive into the individual cards, I want to talk a bit about the new mechanics in Kaladesh, which are explained in more detail here. How will they function in the Commander format? These are my general thoughts.
