I love the artwork on this card. You have a giant sea monster that’s slumbered for so long that an entire ecosystem has formed on its back!

[@metalsabatico]

a thing to remember is that arixmethes can turn into a creature at instant speed so can always play that to your advantage during combat. also, you can untap arixmethes with kiora, master of depths' +1 even after he becomes a creature.

Frantic Search untaps Arixmethes....

[@benrichardson5662]

I think this guy would be good if you let him hang on to one slumber counter until you get something to make him unblockable, and hopefully double strike.

[@AffinityForCommander]

Such a unique commander! I really like the idea of this guy!

[@xakuyer]

Good ol' Tromokratis that is waiting for me in my binder in his foil version, needing to be played

[@destrover5]

I built a broken version of this.

[@lunarmathemagics7881]

Yeee finally get a arixmethes! Awesome ideas, I was mostly brewing loads and loads of one drop spells with good value, and then a few huge creatures or buff spells.

[@zo-zu7158]

Can anyone explain what happens when you enchant Arixmethes with Urban Burgeoning? If Arixmethes stops being a land, does he essentially untap during everyone's turn?

[@benjaminmckinney7709]

What about brawn or wonder?

[@philippedeschamps1493]

Why not use shrieking drake for a cheap ?(casting cost and money cost)Its a nice way to remove 1 counter for the price of 1 blue mana, repeatable as needed and staying in your hand (unless countered)

[@MilitantM0m]

Pronounced - “ a ricks meth ease”

[@naoku126]

please do a deck list

[@CorruptionAura]

what about unlimited green mana with freed from the real or Pemmin's aura?

[@codybolin3876]

Wonder and brawn maybe some good adds

[@yaung2723]

You forgot about torpor orb.

[@Khan_mlln]
