ICYMI - February Matches

At MIDCARDS, we are big fans of the art on MTG cards. So much so, a big feature of our Instagram content is matching the cards with nail art.

After each month we will gather together our matches in a blog post, with a short explanation of how we would use each card in a Commander deck.

Tainted Pact

Why use it in a Commander deck?

A great instant for card advantage. Giving some flexibility with ‘may’.

Use in decks with Black.

Dragon Mask

Why use it in a Commander deck?

An artifact to provide a buff and possible protection.

Pay 3 and tap this artifact to give your creature +2/+2 and bounce it back to your hand if it survives!

Use in any deck making use of ETB abilities.

Think Twice

Why use it in a Commander deck?

An instant to draw a card.

Cast from your graveyard for the flashback cost to draw again!

Use in decks with Blue.

Crush the Weak

Why use it in a Commander deck?

A sorcery to deal 2 damage to each creature; sending them to exile if they would die.

Spread the cost with the use of ‘Foretell’.

This could even be a potential board wipe!

Use in decks with Red.

Giant Ladybug

Why use it in a Commander deck?

A creature to get a land to the top of your library.

It’s a flying blocker too!

Use in recursion decks with Green.

Scales of Shale

Why use it in a Commander deck?

An instant to give a creature a buff for the turn, as well as lifelink and indestructible.

A potential cost reduction if you control any Lizards.

Use in decks with Black containing Lizards.

Arborback Stomper

Why use it in a Commander deck?

A 5/4 creature with trample and life gained on entering the battlefield!

Use in recursion/flicker decks with Green.

Invigorating Falls

Why use it in a Commander deck?

A sorcery to gain life.

It counts creatures in all graveyards, so would be great to cast after a board wipe!

Use in decks with Green.
