Theres diminishing returns on adding more new resource tokens to Magic , but Blood seems very much like it will be a niche, Vampire-specific mechanic rather than something like Treasure, which goes in every set
This is all fun, but not quite good enough for the main list of the 10 best commanders from Innistrad: Midnight Hunt
Xira Arien No ones really sure what to do with Xira Arien, but that doesnt mean it isnt a decent commander
Some people would have probably been upset, obviously, but most would have seen it as an acceptable price to pay to ensure that some of Magics best cards could be enjoyed by a new generation
There's also the fact that this card neatly dodges Vanishing Verse which is some of the only meta removal that should be able to take care of it
Players start with 40 life instead, and the format favors mid-range or control strategies
