Aerith Shines as Last Ancient Healer
Aerith, Last Ancient brings a measured presence to any battlefield, blending lifelink resilience with graveyard recursion that rewards careful life gain. Her Raise ability triggers at the end step, offering a tactical choice to either reclaim a creature card from your graveyard or, with a more decisive life gain, propel it directly back onto the battlefield. This mechanic encourages a strategic tempo play that can shift the flow of combat, especially in decks built around life gain and graveyard interactions.
Functioning as a Human Cleric Druid, Aerith’s 3/5 body is sturdy enough to trade and survive while maintaining board presence. Her role fits well within green and white strategies that emphasize sustainability and value recovery, making her an efficient legend for Commander decks focused on gradual advantage. Leveraging her abilities thoughtfully can create recurring threats and bolster your defenses.
