Herald of the City's Blessing
Twilight Prophet is a pragmatic pick for decks that turn incremental advantage into a win condition. The card reads as a late game engine. With flying and Ascend it rewards board development and incremental card advantage. On a practical level the upkeep trigger lets you convert a single reveal into tempo by drawing the card and trading away life based on that card's mana value.
In Commander play Twilight Prophet fills a clear role as a lifegain drain engine that scales with your board state. You will want to curate your library and manage permanents to reach the city's blessing. The printed stats two four make it a durable flier that can dodge ground removal while steadily pushing the game toward your advantage. Experienced players will find it useful in control or midrange shells that aim for long games.
