Edward Newgate OP02-004, V.2 ($26) So here we are with another character weve seen before and the last entry in our most valuable One Piece OP-02 cards list: Edward Newgate
Good token commanders in MTG must have at least 1 of the following 3 characteristics: The ability to generate a large number of tokens at a proportionally low mana and opportunity cost Easily repeatable token generation Strong supporting effects for tokens that justify not being able to create tokens Good token commanders also can have the following traits in conjunction with the above: Fast, accessible payoffs for creating your tokens, such as giving them haste, boosting their power, or gaining effects when they die Potential for establishing infinite combos with your tokens Miscellaneous useful effects Many of the strongest token commanders have multiple traits from the lists above and contain access to green and/or white cards, as these colors have the most powerful support cards for token strategies, many of which were shown earlier
Given that this is such a unique ability for blue, it is particularly useful
As I noted earlier, there were other future teams exploring the design space of Battles, so we knew we wanted to set things up in a way that would be compatible for other functionality and keep design space open for future iterations of Battles
They are sensitive to a variety of things and need to be constructed sensibly, more so even than the combo cube
Overall, I think its pretty sweet, and if youre looking for an alternative Jund lands commander, youve found it
