Syr Konrad, the Grim
Syr Konrad, the Grim anchors a graveyard oriented game plan in Commander Modern Horizons 3. This legendary Human Knight punishes the loss of creatures and any creature card put into a graveyard from anywhere other than the battlefield, turning those losses into direct damage to opponents. The trigger scales with the table, rewarding players who lean into sacrifice and reanimation strategies. The card also introduces a milling option that affects all players, adding a steady layer of pressure as the game develops.
In practice, Syr Konrad shines when you build around your graveyard engine and sacrifice outlets. Each time a creature dies or a creature card enters a graveyard from anywhere, you chip away at opponents while you assemble value in your own graveyard for future plays. The incidental milling ability keeps everyone honest, ensuring you stay engaged with the core mechanics of the set and maintain directional momentum toward your endgame plan.
