To play, each player needs their own deck of at least 60 cards , damage counters, and a way to track how much lore they have such as lore-counters found in an Illumineers Trove (more on the Trove below) or a pad of paper
Summon: Esper Valigarmanda One of the problems with the saga summon creatures is that you have precious few turns while the creature is in play to attack
For the low cost of nothing (at least in terms of card economy), you get a creature that blocks almost all early-game creatures
No ones targeting it with precious removal, but if theres a battlefield sweeper coming, you could get hurt
Running Darien presents a political aspect to Commander too, since you can let your opponents attack you instead of blocking
It won't allow its controller to lose the game for any reason, and the player's opponents cannot win, no matter what happens
