Unlike a typical Prerelease, players will draft 2 cards at a time to build a 60-card Commander deck to prepare for multiplayer madness
Pair this with the fact that it also has the Fabled Luster ability, being immune to Special Conditions like Sleep, Confusion, Paralysis, or anything else like them
The focus is simple: which cards actually sold the most and what that means for deck building and the early meta
Once that choice is made, players may not respond until after the appropriate room ability has triggered
My sole complaint is that Athreos costs 6 mana, which is an awful lot to ask for from the Command Zone, particularly given the incremental nature of its impact on a Commander game
This taking up a rare slot is likely for limited, a laughable choice given the state of the set's design for non-constructed formats
