Pairing them with other equipment or enchantments that give them additional keywords makes them so much more potent and threatening. With Akroma’s ability to buff fellow keyword soup creatures, she can turn even the measly 0/1 Rograkh into a decent-sized 4/5 first strike, menace, trample just by heading to combat. Common all-stars in this front are Odric, Lunarch Marshal, Kathril, Aspect Warper and Rayami, First of the Fallen.

Sifting through the remaining possible 1560 pairs will definitely remain a challenge, so let’s begin!Īlong with my analysis of these partners, I’ll be offering a miniature deck tech with suggested card pairings and combos for the deck!įor the uninitiated? Soup strategy relies on cards that possess a flurry of Magic’s mechanics, to buff or share these keywords among other Creatures. I’m discounting pairs containing The Prismatic Piper as he doesn’t offer that great of a deck-building advantage, and I’m also not considering pairs with older partners from the Commander 2016 decks. Each piece is unique and has its flavour and style, but some pairs overlap colour schemes, some pairs don’t flow cohesively and some pairs lend themselves to strong, complementary synergies.įor this article, I’d like to look at and bet on potential colour pairs from Commander Legends that’ll shake-up both casual and competitive Commander pods alike. Unlike its sister mechanic, “Partner With” which limits your choice of Creature pairing to a particular pair and nobody else, Partner works like a Barbie doll – mix the tops and bottoms any way you like.

Weird food combos aside, this week I’m taking a quick dive into the latest returning mechanic shaking up the world of Commander with Partner! A mechanic first printed in Commander 2016, then vanishing until its sister, “ Partner With” was printed in the set known as Battlebond in mid-2018, before finally making a resurgence in the upcoming Commander Legends (2020) set! Shrimp Paste and Mangoes! Wait, no that doesn’t sound very appetising…
