Kozilek's Command MH3 A Flexible Eldrazi Instant
Kozilek's Command from Modern Horizons 3 is a modal instant that scales with X and fits into many midrange and control shells. This kindred spell offers four distinct tools, letting you sculpt the battlefield to fit the moment. You can pressure the opponent by producing Eldrazi Spawn tokens, remove a key threat through exile, or disrupt graveyard plans while keeping other options in reserve. The card embodies the unpredictable tempo of the Eldrazi and rewards thoughtful timing over sheer speed.
Applied in the right moment, Kozilek's Command can swing the course of a game. The option to exile a target creature with mana value X or less gives you reach against low-cost threats, while the ability to exile up to X cards from graveyards can blunt graveyard strategies. Token generation can fuel colorless mana production or simply overwhelm defenses, and the two other modes provide additional value by forcing opponent sacrifices and rewarding card draw when a board state shifts in your favor. It’s a practical, resilient tool for formats where immediate answers and long game plans intersect.
