Celes, Rune Knight: Command Your Board with Graveyard Savvy
Celes, Rune Knight offers a unique blend of card advantage and board development that fits well within a midrange or graveyard-focused deck. Upon entering the battlefield, she lets you discard any number of cards to immediately draw that many plus one, effectively turning excess or situational cards into fresh options. This ability provides a tactical reset and fuels graveyard strategies, giving you flexibility when resources feel clogged or inefficient.
Her second ability rewards a playstyle centered around creatures entering the battlefield, particularly from graveyards. Whenever creatures enter under your control—whether cast directly or reanimated—each one gains a +1/+1 counter, steadily growing your forces. This synergizes well with recurring creature effects and enhances your board presence, making Celes, Rune Knight a powerful commander for those who appreciate calculated resource management and incremental growth.
