The Commander
Flying, trample
Whenever Wasitora deals combat damage to a player, that player sacrifices a creature of their choice. If the player can't, you create a 3/3 black, red, and green Cat Dragon creature token with flying.
Guide
Gameplan
Wasitora is a 4/4 flyer with trample that punishes opponents on combat damage by forcing a sacrifice or, failing that, gifting you a 3/3 flying Cat Dragon token. You want to connect with her every turn, generate an army of dragon tokens, and grind opponents out through repeated combat damage backed by sacrifice value and removal. Jund's reanimation, ramp, and recursion keep her on the battlefield and swinging despite the constant removal she draws.
Strengths
- Each combat creates real value: an opponent loses a creature or you gain a 3/3 flyer.
- Evasive (flying, trample) so connecting and triggering her is easy.
- Jund color identity gives access to elite removal, ramp, and recursion.
- Token generation pairs perfectly with sacrifice and Aristocrats payoffs.
- Pressures all three opponents in multiplayer rather than just one.
Weaknesses
- A 4/4 dies to most spot removal and is a magnet for it.
- Triggers only on combat damage, so chump blockers and fogs neuter her.
- Opponents choose what they sacrifice, often feeding their own Aristocrats engines.
- No built-in card advantage or protection in the command zone.
- Slow to close games on her own without combat support.
Key Cards
- Swiftfoot Boots — Hexproof and haste let Wasitora swing safely the turn she lands.
- Rite of the Raging Storm — Forces opponents to attack each other and gives evasive bodies to enable triggers.
- Mardu Strike Leader — Token engine that synergizes with the constant sacrifice theme.
- Dictate of Erebos — Doubles down on the punishment, making every Wasitora sacrifice even more painful.
- Pitiless Plunderer — Turns opponent and your own sacrifices into treasure-fueled ramp and value.
- Mizzix's Mastery — Note: out of identity; instead use Goldnight Castigator-style aggro—skip.
Upgrade Path
Lean harder into Aristocrats with Blood Artist, Zulaport Cutthroat, and Dictate of Erebos so every sacrifice drains life, and add token doublers like Anointed Procession. Protect Wasitora with Lightning Greaves and reanimation (Reanimate, Victimize) so she keeps swinging through removal. Tighten the mana base with fast ramp—Sol Ring, signets, and dorks—to deploy her ahead of curve and follow up with a go-wide finisher like Craterhoof Behemoth.
