Tannuk, Steadfast Second: A Commander Powerhouse

While the magic the gathering—FINAL FANTASY crossover has been stealing some thunder, edge of eternities offers a compelling array of commanders, none more intriguing than Tannuk, Steadfast Second. This unique commander warps red and artifact cards from your hand, allowing for explosive plays in the commander format. Imagine warping a high-impact card like Portal to Phyrexia for its enter-the-battlefield trigger, only to recast it later for even more value. Tannuk's ability to "cheat" mana costs makes him a force to be reckoned with at any Commander table. While normal printings are projected to be affordable, the Borderless Triumphant printing is where the real value lies, solidifying Tannuk as a sought-after commander staple.

Thrumming Hivepool: Revitalizing the Sliver Swarm

Despite being the sole Sliver card in edge of eternities, Thrumming Hivepool is already generating buzz among seasoned sliver commander players. For six colorless mana, it grants your Slivers double strike and haste, while also generating two 1/1 Sliver tokens at the beginning of your upkeep, and it is free to cast with enough Slivers in play. This consistent source of Sliver creation is exactly what Sliver players crave. The reveal of Thrumming Hivepool has also reignited interest in other Sliver cards from Commander Masters, such as Lazotep Sliver and Sliver Hivelord, making it a must-have for any Sliver strategy. The Extended Art frame, exclusive to Collector Boosters, will be highly coveted by players looking to bling out their Sliver decks. If you are building sliver commander decks, this card will be a powerhouse.

Exalted Sunborn: Token Doubling with a Twist

Exalted Sunborn joins the ranks of powerful token doubling effects that have become increasingly popular in magic the gathering. What sets it apart is its potent Warp ability, providing a temporary boost to any token generation for a mere two mana. Later in the game, you can cast it for its full cost to put it into play, doubling your token presence. In commander format, doubling effects are always desirable, and Exalted Sunborn's Angel typing makes it even more appealing to Angel-themed decks. Expect the Extended Art and Japan Showcase variants to command a premium price, making them highly sought-after pulls from edge of eternities. Pay close attention to the exalted sunborn value as the set ages, as this will be a popular commander card.

Anticausal Vestige: Eldrazi Support Arrives

The Japan Showcase treatment makes a triumphant return in edge of eternities, gracing ten cards with its unique aesthetic. Among them is Anticausal Vestige, the only Eldrazi card in the set, and it boasts an incredibly powerful ability for land ramp strategies. When it leaves the battlefield, you draw a card and can put a permanent with a mana value equal to or less than the number of lands you control onto the battlefield tapped. This opens the door to flavorful and devastating Eldrazi plays, bringing in cards like Zhulodok, Void Gorger, or even Roaming Throne. With the recent Eldrazi Incursion Commander Deck from Modern Horizons 3, Anticausal Vestige becomes a strong addition to any eldrazi commander strategy. The Japan Showcase, Extended Art, and traditional printings cater to different budgets and tastes.

Tezzeret, Cruel Captain: Artifact Domination

The Shock Lands: A Commander Staple
