Szarel, Genesis Shepherd Szarel, Genesis Shepherd is that solid kind of sacrifice commander that works when you sacrifice permanents, especially lands, not just creatures
Except, it gets shuffled back into its owner's library whenever it would go to the graveyard, making it nearly impossible to permanently remove from the game
Creatures (31) 4 Borderland Ranger 4 Arbor Elf 4 Avacyn's Pilgrim 3 Thalia, Guardian of Thraben 4 Huntmaster of the Fells 4 Restoration Angel 4 Thragtusk 4 Loxodon Smiter Lands (25) Spells (4) Sideboard 4/4 creatures are big, in particular on turn 2
The set is set for a street date of February 10, 2023, but with the pre-release already over (on February 3, 2023), many of the cards are already out there
If you want to feel like youre throwing down the gauntlet, try casting some 5/4 creatures on turn two or casting every card in your deck on turn five
When this card first made its way into tournament decks the classic combo was to grab a Platinum Angel and a Darksteel Colossus , forcing players to deal with the threat of the colossus while you were safely protected by the angel
