Azlask, the Swelling Scourge is a standout from Commander: Modern Horizons 3. This Extended Art copy is a near mint example of a demanding Eldrazi commander that rewards death triggers and colorless symmetry. Whenever Azlask or another colorless creature you control dies, you gain an experience counter, building a resource you can invest later. The ability aligns with decks that lean on mass die effects or resilient colorless boards, turning losses into momentum.
When you pay {W}{G}{B}{R}, all creatures you control get +X/+X until end of turn, where X is the number of experience counters you have. Scions and Spawns you control gain indestructible and annihilator 1 until end of turn. The effect scales as you accumulate counters, enabling surprising swings or presses from a tight board state. In practice Azlask plays as a proactive value engine, rewarding careful sequencing and synergy with other colorless threats.
