mtg green blue commander deck Decks & More Compatible with Magic: The Gathering: Elite Creature - Simic Lands Ramp Domain - Very Powerful - Modern Legal - Custom Built Unveil your master plan by replacing tokens with these new Magic the Gathering Universes Beyond:

Since wither isnt a replacement effect, abilities that trigger when damage happens still trigger for wither effects

If enough -1/-1 counters are put on Essence Channeler at the same time to make its toughness 0 or less, its last ability will see all of the +1/+1 counters it had when it died as well as the -1/-1 counters it had, and an equal number of each of those types of counters (plus any other applicable counters) will be put onto the target creature

Making it enter tapped is a huge tempo loss for commanders that want to get out early and start doing powerful things right away

It trims all the odd spells so yes, that means our Dragon-God has been dropped for a giant squid-like demon

While it's obviously too early to predict whether that will be the case, it's certainly the right direction for a game that's always looking for a hook for each set - provided Sing Together isn't too powerful, it will once again deepen the game's varied strategies and offer another mode of skill expression
