Why is this is my favorite Commander in the set, even though it costs seven mana
If combat damage dealt to the monarch causes that player to lose the game, the triggered ability that causes the controller of the attacking creature to become the monarch doesn't resolve
Were taking a look at some of the best decks to use in MTGArena standard, and this Esper deck relies on destruction, draw power, and flying creatures to out-resource and out-maneuver your opponents
All in all, Im not too worried
The heavy emphasis on tokens and enchantments is fun too
Storm the Vault / Vault of Catlacan can slot into Izzet decks that focus heavily on slinging instants and sorceries, but it truly shines with artifact- or Treasure-matters commanders like Galazeth Prismari (or Breya, Etherium Shaper, if we expand the color palette)
