Scion of Calamity (Extended Art) (Commander: The Lost Caverns of Ixalan) Light Play

Twin-Jawed Ambush

Scion of Calamity is a compact threat that earns its slot in midrange and tempo lists. The creature reads as a five five for {3}{G}{G} with Myriad and a triggered removal effect on combat damage to a player. In practice it pressures opponents while turning a single attack into multiple lethal possibilities through Myriad and then punishes the damaged player by destroying one of their artifacts or enchantments.

Use Scion of Calamity to force unfavorable blocks and to tempo out troublesome permanents. The card pairs well with ways to push damage through or to double strike the first hit. In Commander it skirts board wipes and answers permanent based defenses without relying on countermagic. The extended art frame gives it presence in play while the printed rules text is straightforward and useful during timed play.
