MTG Salvation

I guess Rowan got custody of their spark.

...oh. Yeah, that would make a lot more sense.

Pretty sure that's the father of the twins.

Lot to unpack with this one. He would make an interesting EDH General.
What I find interesting is though his casting cost is in White, his effects seem to show preference towards Green and Red before getting to White.

I imagine it was more to keep the abilities in growing order of mana cost rather than show "preference".

He definitely seems EDH-oriented. Dump Blightsteel, Ulamog, or Kozilek to a discard outlet; with the graveyard-shuffle trigger on the stack, pay 4B to reanimate it; then pay R to give it trample and haste. Pretty nasty stuff.

He can also be a self-powered Voltron. If you have 7 mana on the board when you cast him, he's a three-turn clock: Cast him and swing for 5. Next turn, buff him to 8. The turn after that, buff him to 11 and that's a kill.

And if you're mana flooded and your opponents have blockers, you can just dump mana into his blue ability and dig for cards.

...Yeah, I think he's gonna see a lot of play. I deeply dislike 5-color commanders, but I'm still tempted to build a deck around him.

Be really careful with his first effect. It doesn't just give your creatures haste, so be wary of activated effects from other player's new creatures if you use it.

This really makes me want to run a deck with like... 15 cards to keep him safe, 15 good blockers, 15 ramp spells, and all the rest lands.

This card is actually kinda nuts with Biomancer's Familiar in a rainbow deck. It's probably mostly Jank, but will probably be fun to play around with.

I like the idea of "W: Gain 5 life".

This would be a really great card to show to someone who's never played Magic before as a quick-and-dirty rundown of how the Color Wheel works.

this guy is actually pretty freaking insane

Honestly man, the more times I read it, the more I am like...

"How much money am I going to have to spend on this doosh canoe..."


Incubation druid, Lotus Field and yes, Biomancer's Familiar all seem really strong with this uptight demon-loving monarch (because lets be real, he ain't bringing people back from the dead without some demon-loving)

Could someone just specify something for me?


In commander, your deck can only be the color of your ... commander. So if Kenrith was king, er, I mean commander, wouldn't your deck be restricted to white?


Or is there some rule about colors within the card?

In commander the deck's colour is dictated by the mana symbols on the card (with some exceptions like flip cards).
