Not a fan of this particular one. The 'attacking creature' clause means that there are TONS of creatures this will never hit...and it can be easily played around as it is VERY telegraphed. My favorite is Pulsemage Advocate. Being able to reanimate anything for the low price of giving someone 3 cards back is bonkers. Nullmage Advocate is also pretty good. Sure, green isn't lacking in artifact/enchantment removal but most of them aren't repeatable.

It’s pretty simple to explain. When it comes to the stage of declaring blockers, the defending player divides their creatures into 2 piles. Then the attacking player then divides attacking creatures into 2 piles. Creatures in pile 1 can only block other creatures in pile 1, and same for pile 2 Flying creatures just ignore this card

I think it should be mentioned that Commanders with tutor abilities, like Zur or Light-Paws, can lead to very samey games and you gotta be okay with that. It isn't so much "wow, i have access to any of 30 or so Aura spells" as it is flowcharting to the same handful of clearly best Auras every game. As a personal recommendation for a Voltron Commander i don't see many people use: Arwen, Mortal Queen. The second paragraph of text on her can matter every now and then, but the important bit is that she is the cheapest legendary creature that is just indestructible by default. With a turn 1 mana dork she can come down turn 2, and she is already in the ideal colors for Aura decks. card recommendations: Pariah and Metastatic Evangel.

Came for Geist of Saint Traft. Waiting until turn 4 or 5 to get Uril out and start loading him on turn 6 is way too slow. Geist does work faster. With Dorothea and Invocation of Saint Traft you can get more tokens, and with Sundial of the Infinite you can keep them.

Hi buddy, you think Uril is slow? In a well optimised deck you can definitely get him out faster. Yes we’ve lost mana crypt, and jewelled lotus but other good options are out there. Umm I might look into how fast he can be cast efficiently. Thanks for the comment :)

@CosmicMangoMTG So do you just mulligan until you get a bunch of ramp/rocks to get him out fast? That's poor sportsmanship. Planning for what _can_ happen in an optimal pull is poor strategy. Planning for what can _consistently_ happen is good strategy.

It's got tromple built in, gives you access to five color goodstuff, and kind of protects itself ("Go ahead, kill my commander. It'll be funny."). Top picks would be Gift of Immortality to keep the fun train rolling, Ashaya, Soul of the Wild to make all your creatures stop being "nonland permanents," and Enduring Courage or possibly Anger to ensure Child can come out swinging again post-board wipe.

Single target land destruction is not a rare effect, most commander decks should be running at least a couple pieces of land destruction for those particularly powerful lands that need to be removed.

Not a good include imo. You're playing against humans capable of understand what happens after they tap that land, so they won't unless is absolutely necessary. You end up spending a card slot just for stopping a single non utility land of one player. That is unless you have a way to sacrifice aura for value over and over. If that's the case, go for it.
