Commander Showdown - Najeela vs Tazri

Five-Color Tribal The fight is on! Battlebond has given us a spectacular new commander, Najeela, the Blade-Blossom. At long last, we have a leader for a Warrior tribal EDH deck! Though Najeela herself is mono-red, her activated ability contains all five color symbols, giving her a rainbow-tastic color identity. This isn't the first time we've seen […]

Politics wouldn’t be the same without lying. There is a precedent for it. Lying as part of any political system exists simply because there are clear advantages to doing so.

Ixalan EDH Review — Blue
