mtg samurai commander deck A Samurai tribal commander (very much inspired by Jabari) : r/custommagic The 22 Best Samurai Commanders

A 0/5 is pretty hefty to burn or kill in combat and always feels like a waste to use dedicated removal spells on it, particularly if they have already had use from it

While the first copy can still be sweet to have on Turn three, we almost never want to draw a second copy

Where it does shine is how it buffs all your guys elves, take note by giving them not only trample, but also +X/+X, where X is the number of creatures you control

Some players may see the packs as bulk that bloats your collection, but if your collection is small, the cards go a long way with eternally playables like Path to Exile, Blood Artist and Herald's Horn at uncommon

Let me know in the comments below or head over to our Discord if thats more your thing

The downside to the Herald is that it does lock you into a mana commitment since it costs three white mana and four generic to cast, rather than Platinum Angels seven generic mana
