While it does go in there, it is much more than that as it also works with non-creature spells
Criminal Past Yet another three-drop
This card doesn't start in your deck but in a special "Command Zone." You can cast your commander from this zone, and if it would die or be exiled, you can return it to the command zone to be cast again, though it costs an additional two mana for each subsequent cast
even classic commanders like Meren of Clan Nel Toth and Atraxa, Praetors Voice want to be down as soon as possible, too
Rather, this creature is intended to be an enabler for larger creatures and more expensive spells
For that money, you are getting 24 Jumpstart Boosters, each containing 20 Avatar-themed cards
