Woe Strider — Recur the Grief
Woe Strider delivers steady utility for graveyard focused decks while fitting cleanly into a Commander: Tarkir: Dragonstorm build. Woe Strider enters the battlefield and immediately leaves you a 0/1 white Goat token to trade with blockers or fodder for sacrifice engines. The creature also converts bodies into card selection with the ability to sacrifice another creature to scry one, keeping your topdecks aligned as the game grinds long.
The escape ability rewards gradual resource investment. You can cast Woe Strider from the graveyard for three and two black mana after exiling four other cards from your graveyard, and it returns with two +1/+1 counters for immediate impact. Use it as repeated value in Aristocrats shells, token synergies, or as a reliable recur target when your yard fuels both aggression and card advantage. Pick it up in near mint English if you want a practical, playable piece for a Graveyard Commander list.
