Kari Zev, on the other hand, is far from particularly powerful- Her ability to attack and create a Ragavan token is certainly interesting, but not particularly viable nowadays. Ragavan is powerful enough to lead a mono red deck entirely on his own, and a deck that can cast Ragavan normally, that also has access to Kari, is sort of boring. This is not the case with Ragavan specifically. In these cases, the power level increase of adding Partner does not significantly push the pair into concerning territory. The individual sisters that make up Brisela, Voice of Nightmares are among the weaker options for mono-white individually. The pairings that are often Rule Zero partnered are not exactly powerhouses- Saffi Eriksdotter and Hans Eriksson are both fine on their own, but truly shine when able to synergize with each other. Ragavan, Nimble Pilferer takes the concept and runs with it, having a Dash cost the same as Kari's original mana cost, and a trigger on dealing combat damage to an opponent that makes a Treasure and exiles the top card of the defending players library, letting you cast spells hit.Īdding Partner to any given pair of cards makes both cards strictly better. When she attacks, she creates a legendary 2/1 monkey token that is then exiled at end of combat, representing her pet dashing out and running back to safety. Kari Zev is a fairly unique card released all the way back in Aether Revolt. Now that Modern Horizons 2 has been released, Kari Zev, Skyship Raider and her monkey Ragavan, Nimble Pilferer have joined the list of such pairings. Ever since the Partner mechanic was printed in 2016, players have been creating decks that treat a pair of legendary creatures as though they had the mechanic on them, in order to play them together. In some cases, a pair of deeply linked characters appear on two separate cards, such as Saffi Eriksdotter and Hans Eriksson, Chromium and Piru, and several others. One of the interesting aspects of Commander decks all being led by specific characters in the Magic canon is that many have existing relationships and connections with each other. Magic: the Gathering is more than just a card game It is a highly expansive multiverse of stories that are extremely important to some players, myself included. Welcome to Breaking the Rules! Rule Zero Partners In addition to discussing how one might play a "Rule Zero" deck, I will also examine both why you might do so, and how you can maximize your chances that your playgroup agrees and has a fun time. Hello, Sheepwave here! While many of you may know me for my presence as an artist on Twitter, this is the first in a series of articles I will be writing! I'll be focusing on playing EDH decks that are not legal according to the official rules, but with a bit of talking, can be played via use of the wonderful Rule Zero.
