mtg atarka world render commander deck Magic The Gathering Starter This Red Atarka, World Render | Proxy

A one-mana removal spell that kills almost as long as you play creatures, which is something you want to do anyway, and also works in the first two turns if you have nothing on the board

That versatility makes it an excellent answer to strategies like Hammer Time, Enchantress, or Murktide, where key threats often fall into those categories

However, this lore boost is mainly relevant when a game is at parity - it doesnt immediately help when youre behind (and need board presence more than lore) or ahead (and want to quest with your characters)

This black sorcery is okay early in the game, recovering you some life, and it really shines when you have mana to spare or cards like Vito, Thorn of the Dusk Rose
