If youve read any of my Commander content before, you probably know I prefer a precon experience that works as an onboarding tool for new players
Whether it's protecting your creatures, cheating finality counters, or just smashing with big green creatures (my favourite thing to do), these are definitely good excuses to splash out on a precon or two
Legendary Creature - Human Noble Arwen, Mortal Queen Arwen enters with an indestructible counter on it
But that's hard to make work and easy to disrupt with removal of the Commander himself or by the Anthems (Glorious Anthem), Auras (Rancor) or Equipment (Bonesplitter), and if you sweep you really break him with mass removal, and recasting a five cost is rough
Reaching for bear typal with cards like Wilson, Refined Grizzly and Ayula, Queen Among Bears makes perfect sense, but plenty of EDH staples like Mentor of the Meek and Manglehorn fall within this mothers protection
Which, of course, youll spend on booster packs to get more spare cards you dont need
