  • One of the most fascinating commander options coming out of Battle for Baldur's Gate, Myrkul turns your dead creatures into noncreature enchantments for some cool interactions.

    For Dauthi Voidwalker and similar, it's notable that Myrkul says "creature you control", so if you steal an opponents creature and it dies, you still get a token enchantment.

      Gisa, glorious resurrector is a card that comes to mind for that.

    Definitely appreciate that Wizards is giving up higher cmc commanders that have unique effects and are worth the mana cost. Especially with their direction in making spells that have payoffs for higher cmcs

    A cool idea I have for Myrkul is to include all the Phyrexian Praetors that can go with Myrkul. Makes it harder for opponents to get rid of them

    Elish Norn is a backbreaker in this deck. Add Ethereal Absolution and no one will get to keep creatures out, and you'll be able to swamp opponents with 4/4 spirits.
    The other idea is have at least one Eerie Ultimatum effect; you can bring back all of the unfortunate souls that went to the graveyard before you cast your 7 mana commander, especially if your opponents remove him.

    If you can copy myrkul, then keep the token of myrkul and send the nontoken to the graveyard, then you got an enchantment version of your commander just chilling there

    I think myrkul brings ga a lot of power to win conditions on creatures. For example felidar sovereign the best defense is yo remove it but with a sac outlet not only do th hey waste a card the have to have enchantment destruction too.

    This also works well with the creatures that enter go get a land or to sac them and get lands bc you can do it twice then I use aristocrat stuffs to kill people avenger of zendicar to make 10 plants and sac him to make 10 more and with blood artist or any ather aristocrat cards is just busted

    • @therealcamallu
      @therealcamallu Před 2 lety

      Unfortunately, Protector of the Crown and similar cards don't work as enchantments. Per the comprehensive rules: "120.1a Damage can’t be dealt to an object that’s neither a creature nor a planeswalker."

    i wonder f i can make a token of it, then sac the original to the legend rule, exile it with the token version to get an enchantment version, when i exile it i chose to move it to my command zone and i think i still get the enchantment version because it was exiled technically and its not imprinted.

    If you exiled a Legendary creature with Myrkul, would the resulting enchantment token be nonlegendary since they lose all other card types? For Doubling Season/Alternate Lives/Anointed Procession purposes

    • @nightshade3122

      Unfortunately, card types and supertypes aren't the same thing, and legendary is a supertype. So no, the token copies would still be legendary.
