The Capitoline Triad

The Commander

Those Who Came Before — This spell costs {1} less to cast for each historic card in your graveyard. (Artifacts, legendaries, and Sagas are historic.)

Exile any number of historic cards from your graveyard with total mana value 30 or greater: You get an emblem with "Creatures you control have base power and toughness 9/9."

Guide

Gameplan

Stuff your graveyard full of historic cards (artifacts, legendaries, Sagas) so the Triad costs less than its printed 10, then drop it as a colossal body. Its real payoff is the emblem: exile 30+ mana value of historic cards from your yard to permanently make every creature you control a base 9/9, turning go-wide token swarms or mana-dork chaff into a lethal army.

Strengths

Colorless identity lets it slot into literally any color combination as a top-end finisher
The 9/9 emblem is a permanent, repeatable-immune effect that survives boardwipes and commander removal
Cost reduction can make it cheap to recast through the command zone late game
Synergizes naturally with artifact-heavy and token strategies most decks already run

Weaknesses

Setting up a graveyard with 30+ MV of historic cards is slow and demands real self-mill or rocks dying
The emblem makes your tokens bigger but doesn't grant evasion, haste, or trample on its own
Pure colorless means no access to color-based interaction, removal, or card draw within the commander itself
A 10-mana base cost is brutal if your graveyard plan gets exiled by hate

Key Cards

Mishra's Bauble — Cheap historic artifact that cantrips and pads your graveyard's mana value for the emblem and cost reduction.
Buried Alive — Dumps historic creatures and bodies straight into the yard to fuel both the discount and the exile cost.
Krark-Clan Ironworks — Sacrifices artifacts for mana and feeds the graveyard with historic cards to enable the emblem fast.
Anointed Procession — Doubles token output so the 9/9 emblem turns a single trigger into an overwhelming board.
Buried Ruin — A land that can rebuy historic artifacts while filling the yard supports the historic engine.

Upgrade Path

Lean harder into cheap historic artifacts (Sol Ring, signets, Baubles) plus self-mill like Stitcher's Supplier and Grisly Salvage to hit the 30-MV exile threshold by turn five or six. Add token doublers and anthem-light evasion such as trample or menace enablers so the 9/9 emblem actually closes games, and include graveyard recursion (Eternal Witness effects in your colors) to refuel after activating. Top-end ramp like big mana rocks and rituals lets you cast the Triad early even before the discount fully kicks in.

Win Conditions

▸Attack with a wide board of 9/9 tokens after activating the emblem
▸Smash with the Triad itself as a massive evasive or trampling beatstick once suited up
▸Convert mana dorks and utility creatures into 9/9s for a surprise alpha strike
▸Grind incremental damage as the emblem keeps every fresh creature at 9/9 through wipes

Archetypes

Tokens — The emblem instantly upgrades every token you make into a 9/9, making go-wide the most explosive payoff.
Artifacts — Artifacts are historic, so an artifact-dense shell naturally feeds both the cost reduction and the 30-MV exile cost.
Reanimator/Graveyard — Self-mill and recursion stock your yard with the historic cards the Triad needs while reusing big bodies.
Voltron-lite — Even a single 9/9 base body wearing equipment can close games as a colorless beater.
