Skullwinder is a solid green creature option for commander and graveyard oriented decks. It carries deathtouch and brings a sharp enters the battlefield ability: when Skullwinder enters the battlefield, return target card from your graveyard to your hand, then choose an opponent. That player returns a card from their graveyard to their hand.
In practice the ability creates a hands on exchange that can help you rebuild from the grave while pulling opponents into the same resource loop. The flavor aligns with the set’s political edge, turning forgotten moments into usable leverage. In play, a 1/3 body gives it a reasonable chance to defend early while enabling recurring value through graveyard interactions.
