cant activate it without delaying drawing Warden till turn 5 (might as well Blackmail Kolaghans Command actually) My turn 3: Make Warden a warrior, attack with 3/3 (12 life) Opponent turn 4: Cast, and make Warden a 3/3, dont attack My turn 4: Make Warden a lifelinking spirit, dont attack Opponent turn 5: make Warden a lifelinking spirit, attack (15 life) My turn 5: Make an 8/8 Actually, wait, 15 life is less than 19 life
Being forced into using this for like six mana just because you need to buy as long as possible before the card in question comes back starts to look very poor on tempo
How do you feel about the name gravebreak
As a commander, effects like PyrohemiaPyrohemia, PestilencePestilence, and the like can be used to trigger both of its abilities
Teval, the Balanced Scale is one of the two options in the Commander Precon, where it ramps you on mana, mills cards whenever it attacks, and creates Zombie Druid tokens every time a card leaves the graveyard
