Sawhorn Nemesis is a red scaled Dinosaur that imposes a careful calculus on the table. When it enters the battlefield, you choose a player, shaping the threat dynamics as play unfolds. The second half of its ability doubles damage that would be dealt to the chosen player or a permanent they control, a rule that can swing games when timing is right. In Commander: Modern Horizons 3, the Extended Art frame highlights its presence on the board and in the deck.
