The Commander
. When you do, Evereth deals damage equal to its power to each opponent.Guide
Gameplan
Evereth is a free, repeatable sacrifice outlet that turns your dying creatures, tokens, and artifacts into permanent +1/+1 counters, growing into a flying lifelink beater fueled by Treasures. The plan is to build an aristocrats/Treasure engine, stack counters on Evereth, then send him to the grave to deal his (often huge) power to every opponent at once. Early turns you ramp and set up fodder; midgame you sac repeatedly as a sorcery to balloon his power, then close with combat damage or the death-trigger nuke.
Strengths
- Free, repeatable sacrifice outlet attached to your commander enables aristocrats payoffs and dodges removal by saccing in response
- Built-in lifegain via Treasures plus a built-in finisher that pings all opponents for his power on death
- Naturally grows into an evasive flying threat without needing extra cards
- Synergizes with the best BR themes: Treasures, tokens, and recursion, all of which feed him
Weaknesses
- Sacrifice ability is sorcery-speed, so you can't pump in response to combat or instants
- Dies-trigger requires you to actually let Evereth die and pay mana, and it's a one-shot per cast (commander tax climbs)
- Vulnerable to graveyard hate, sacrifice-prevention, and being chump-blocked before he's lethal
- Needs a steady stream of fodder; without an engine he stalls and the counters represent heavy card investment
Key Cards
- Pitiless Plunderer — Turns every creature death into a Treasure, giving you endless lifelink-enabling sac fodder for Evereth.
- Mahadi, Emporium Master — Mass Treasure production each end step that doubles as both ramp and Evereth fuel with lifelink.
- Bastion of Remembrance — Adds a Blood Artist drain to every sacrifice so your engine wins even without Evereth's death trigger.
- Dockside Extortionist — Explosive Treasure burst that fuels counters and lifelink while ramping you into bigger plays.
- Goblin Bombardment — A second free sac outlet so you can fling creatures and Evereth himself at instant speed when needed.
- Reconstruct History — Recurs your fodder, Treasures, and sacrifice payoffs to keep the engine running long into the game.
Upgrade Path
Add more Blood Artist effects (Zulaport Cutthroat, Cruel Celebrant) and free outlets (Viscera Seer, Carrion Feeder) so your sacrifices win even when Evereth is answered. Lean into a Treasure subtheme with Dockside Extortionist, Revel in Riches, and fast mana rocks to enable explosive turns, and include recursion like Reanimate, Victimize, and Feldon's Cane-style loops to recycle fodder. For higher power, build toward a sacrifice combo (Pitiless Plunderer + Mortician/Disciple of the Vault loops) to convert the engine into a deterministic kill.
