Unified Command: Shiko and Narset
Shiko and Narset, Unified brings a compact but potent command to the table. This legendary Human Spirit Dragon rewards careful sequencing and spell economy; with flying and vigilance it presents both a defensive body and an angle of attack while it waits to trigger flurry. As a player you will value the 4 4 frame for blocking and pressuring life totals while you set up the second spell each turn that turns routine plays into doubles or card draw.
The flurry ability changes how you think about tempo. Cast a cantrip then follow with a targeted removal or value spell and the second spell is copied if it targets a permanent or player, with new targets allowed. If you cannot generate a copy you draw instead which keeps your hand moving. The card fits naturally into five color builds that lean on targeted interaction and spellcraft; it pairs well with cheap instants and sorceries and with cards that give you a reliable second cast each turn. Practical, flexible, and straightforward to pilot, Shiko and Narset, Unified is a predictable engine for midrange and control commanders in the Commander Tarkir environment.
