This is ultimately their main strength since removal is (or should be) absolutely everywhere in Commander
While this isnt a perfect solution, it does show Wizards is at least aware of the ongoing problems, giving us a glimmer of hope for the future
The mana cost is a bit steep, but cards like Zirda, the Dawnwaker and Training Grounds can clear that upplus, its not like artifact decks are known for lacking mana
Even some of those little art cards you toss by the wayside when you're cracking booster packs are going for a pretty penny
All right, gather around, rookies
All in all, Commander 2019 does represent a big improvement in value over last year, which is a relief, although it still lags behind older editions of Commander in terms of reprints and value, so maybe being better than what is widely considered to be the worst-ever Commander offering ( Commander 2018 ) isn't really much of a victory
