Command the Storm with Summon: Ixion
Summon: Ixion offers a tactical edge for players eager to weave lore and power into their Commander decks. As a Saga Unicorn, this card enters the battlefield with three chapters of effect, each unfolding with precision after your draw step. The initial chapter’s Aerospark ability temporarily exiles an opponent’s creature, disrupting their strategy until the saga departs. This kind of control mechanic fits neatly into white’s toolkit, providing a window to stabilize the board or set up for your next move.
As the lore counters accumulate, Ixion enhances your forces by placing +1/+1 counters on up to two target creatures you command, bolstering their presence in combat. The final chapter also grants a modest lifegain, reinforcing your sustainability during prolonged encounters. With first strike and a 3/3 body, Ixion holds its own in combat, making it a solid, multifaceted addition for any deck aiming to balance control and growth with thematic flair from the FINAL FANTASY universe.
