Magic: Collecting Secrets of Strixhaven – Prismari Artistry Commander Deck Analysis
We're taking a closer look at the Prismari Artistry MTG Commander deck, analyzing its themes and potential upgrades.
Commander Analysis
History Tracker Quintorius is the commander of this deck. It's a planeswalker rather than a legendary creature.This is a common choice for most Commander dictionary cons. Planeswalkers can become commanders, but only if the card explicitly says they can. It's very rare, but can be especially useful when placed in the right deck.
In the case of Quintorius, it is very clear what the strategy is based on ability. Whenever one or more cards leave your graveyard, you can generate a 3/2 white and red soul token..
The +1 ability allows you to: Discard one card, draw two cards, and then process one card.. Not only is this useful for filling up your graveyard, but it also gives you more cards in your hand that can interact with your graveyard, summoning creatures and spells to activate Quintorius.
The only other ability is -4. Gives all your spirit tokens vigilance and double attack..
Deck Themes and Strategies
Commander selections and packaging details reveal that the Lorehold Spirit deck will revolve around two core themes. Cast a card from your graveyard and create a Token Spirit..
This means we can look forward. Flashback-like mechanicsYou can interact with the cemetery to some extent through the ability to dig, dredge or explore.
Given that the deck rotates around cards, retirement Your graveyard doesn't necessarily have to be a creature. but, A creature that can return to the battlefield again and again can be very frustrating for your opponent.Force the other person to deal with it once and for all.
As a perfect combination with spirit token creation, we also expect there to be a variety of methods. Strengthen the power of living things, Alternatively, souls can be obtained through instant spells or magic.
upgrade
We can't say which cards should be removed from this deck until the full decklist is available, but based on what we know so far, we can take a look at which existing Commander legal vehicles would be good additions.
Some of our selections may be selected for reprints of this deck, so we will replace them with new selections when the full deck list is released.
purification
This recall spell Deals 2 damage any You can also heal 2 health while taking aim.. It initially costs 2 mana, making it a great early spell for removing low-power creatures.
The cost of Flashback is quite high at 6 mana. The fact is that if your health is low, it can help you escape a crisis, but it also deals damage to creatures or players. If Quintorius is on the battlefield, he generates another soul token.It's worth paying the extra cost.
Field historian Quintorius
Why settle for one Quint card when you can have two? This version is a legendary creature. Has the same basic abilities as History Tracker Quintorius.This means that whenever one or more cards leave your graveyard, you generate a 3/2 red and white soul.
Considering that these Quintorious cards don't share a card type or name, they can both be on the battlefield at the same time.
in other words, 2 soul tokens Every time you interact with a graveyard.
Even better, this card is the same. Gives +1/0 to all soulsThis will make your spirit army more threatening.
Firemain Angel
This powerful 4/3 creature has flying and first strike abilities. If it's on the battlefield or in your graveyard at the beginning of your upkeep, you gain 1 life..
For a massive 10 mana you can: Recast Firemane Angel from your graveyardHowever, this can only be done during maintenance.
this is a good way Activate Quintorius' abilities There is no other option, but the worst case scenario is that you gain one life per turn, which will build up over time if your opponent leaves it unchecked.
rally the farmers
If you're serious about the Token Mental Army approach, this is a great instant spell to have in your arsenal. Give all creatures +2/0 until the end of your turn..
It also Flashback costs no more than the base cost (But it changes from 1 white + 2 colorless to 1 red + 2 colorless.) That means you'll cast it twice during the match.
