red blue commander deck mtg Magic: The Gathering The 43 Best Izzet Commanders

The life gain option on the card gives you so much security, like insurance, it is good to have but better not to need

While its toughness is boosted, that toughness can be reduced as a cost to activate its loyalty abilities

What are the best cards out there

The package of abilities nicely ties together, and I particularly like the design of Spinning Piledriver saying noncreature, nonland permanent. Im not at all a fan of cards like Grave Pact, since I think they lead to battlefields where people are locked out of playing their commander, so Im glad that Zangief sidesteps that and instead forces a sacrifice of an artifact, enchantment, or planeswalker
