discard two cards mtg Compulsive Research [Commander 2014] Rules Text: Draw two cards,

This Mardu commander works best in an aggressive shell that spit out tokens, both as sacrifice fodder and ways to exploit Warleader's Call and other Impact Tremors/anthem effects to produce loads of damage

If youre pitching cards anyway, this turns the downside into value fast, especially in decks like Hashaton, Scarab's Fist in Commander, where youre already discarding creatures for value

Then we have Hildibrand Manderville, a character from FFXIV who was apparently assumed dead only to turn up with a bunch of zombies who see him as one of their own and copy his mannerisms

There are myriad other thoughts that crossed my mind about this particular setting too, of course

While Despark can exile any permanent with mana value 4 or greater, there are better options like Anguished Unmaking, which has a broader range of targets but comes with a higher cost
