After somewhat randomly getting back into magic after college, inevitably I ended up painting one of my cards...then another...then another
These cards are often very difficult to pull, with one or two appearing at most in a booster box of Sun & Moon -era sets, though some boxes included none
Linvala, Shield of Sea Gate Linvala, Shield of Sea Gate is a a beefier Selfless Spirit but has the bonus ability of detaining something once per turn if you have a full party, which she herself helps fill
This is probably true of any and all Standard players, but in Magic Arena , I find these cards exceptionally annoying to appear against me
Just staring into The Wise Mothmans eyes gives me the creeps and makes me think of my favorite cryptid stories, so it felt like a flavor loss to leave this Sultai commander off
I'm hugely impressed by this card and can see it getting some play in Limited and Standard, but maybe not so much in Commander unless part of a Hero tribal deck
