Apart from the issue of some cards not having playable substitutes, the other reason I tend to dislike this advice is that part of what makes formats like Commander fun is the diversity that they offer, and this diversity is built, in part, on players being able to access and play with weird, old, nostalgic cards that don't really see play in other formats
Functionally, its the same card as the other Edgar Markovs on this list, but if youre really into that artwork you can expect to pay a pretty penny for it
Gandalf the Grey 9
1 Reanimate At half the cost and some life for all of the reward, Reanimate is the best reanimation card in all of Magic's history and properly so
And then you can tap and shoot something for a damage as well, and layer damage onto creatures from other source, be a threat to small fry, and otherwise be involved with playing Magic
Thatll be great data
