Imagine it dropping in something big like Muxus, Goblin Grandee for free on turn 2
2 John Silver, Vengeful Pirate From: Archazia's Island A powerhouse of a Pirate, John Silver, Vengeful Pirate is a late-game card for sure, costing eight ink and you cant shift with it either so you have to wait quite a while before dropping him but once you do, you get some real power on board
Leovold , Emissary of Trest is a 3/3 creature that costs one Black, one Green, and one Blue mana to cast
Pyrotechnic Performer Its probably too much to imagine a Pioneer morph/disguise deck with this and the Khans of Tarkir morphs that flip for free like Ruthless Ripper and Temur Charger
It might not be all-in on theft like other commanders, but that theft diversity makes it one of the more consistent ones
These are my 25 favorite Magic cards of 2025, a deeply subjective tour through the cards that stuck with me the most, whether because they weaponized the nostalgia I have for Final Fantasy games or because I was struck by their awe-inspiring power and compelling mechanics
