Tedarius, Boros Battle Cleric 1RW
Legendary Creature - Minotaur Cleric
Whenever you prevent damage that would be dealt to you, Tedarius deals that much damage to target player. T: Prevent the next three damage that would be dealt to target creature or player.
2/3
I'm not sure if it is worded correctly but I wanted a commander that can focus on preventing damage rather than constantly dealing damage. He makes a RW pillowfort type deck possible (or at least attempts to) Let me know what you think. I'd love some feedback on non-aggro RW commanders
"Whenever damage that would be dealt to you is prevented..."
Or if you want to be more specific:
"Whenever damage that would be dealt to you is prevented by a spell or ability that you control..."
I like the core concept here, but I feel like damage prevention is generally so narrow/bad that you can't build a deck around it, even with this guy in the mix.
Maybe whenever any damage is prevented even not your own?
Still an extremely narrow effect, especially in light of protection being much less common nowadays. Red already has "damage can't be prevented" in its pie anyways.
Also, this card would need a "may" clause since Safe Passage would cause this to trigger infinitely in 1v1 if it counts damage prevented by your opponent.
"Whenever damage is prevented by an effect you control, CARDNAME deals that much damage to target creature or player."
That's how I would word it. It would be fine to do this for a commander, there are load of old prevention effects that would finally be able to shine. Printing it in standard would probably not fly, prevention spells and abilities are scarce these days, aside from the occasional Fog.

"Whenever damage is prevented by a source you control, ~ deals that much damage divided among any number of target creatures or players."
Although perhaps that would be a bit too abusive?
