Plagon, Lord of the Beach — Tidebound Commander
Plagon, Lord of the Beach brings a different rhythm to blue aggro and creature-heavy shells. As a Legendary Creature Starfish Wizard that costs {2}{U}, Plagon rewards board development in a subtle way. When Plagon enters the battlefield you draw a card for each creature you control with toughness greater than its power, which favors defensive bodies, walls and creatures with built in damage prevention. The activated ability for {U} lets a chosen creature assign combat damage based on its toughness rather than its power for the turn, enabling surprising blocks and trades and turning high toughness creatures into viable attackers.
This card fits into token strategies and pillow fort builds where creatures sit tall until they matter. The flavor lines up with Foundations Jumpstart’s playful tone; Plagon rides the surf while shifting combat math to your advantage. Use it to refill your hand after a wide turn and to flip favorable combat calculations without changing the board. For players who value efficient card advantage and tricky combat steps, Plagon is a practical inclusion that alters how your opponent values attacking and blocking.
