mtg lotus cards Top 10: Lotuses Target player adds three mana of the chosen color for each artifact sacrificed this way. Magic: the Gathering Lotus Seed

His 4 Strength, 5 Willpower stats are decent for Challenging (or being Challenged!), and he also has 1 point of Lore for Questing

It still has strengths and is capable of winning events, but youll need to play tight to avoid getting overtaken by other decks

But that's just the start, of course: with our new commander comes new cards to abuse him: sacrificing high mana value creatures like Metalwork Colossus or Sojourner's Companion is just delicious value and lets us power out whatever overcosted beater we want to get the job done

That's just like Nixilis's second ability, although worse since they get mana, and better since it's just -2 to -3
