You can make a lethal alpha attack, you can force an opponent into bad attacks and blocks, and its just one of the most interesting cards in Boros, especially in Commander games with full boards
However, with four players at a normal Commander table, it should be reasonably simple to commit a crime each turn, allowing you to untap six new Zombie Mercenaries on your next turn
On top of destroying the board, the creatures also cant be regenerated
Im planning to do a lot of digging and drawing cards with Rumor Gatherer in my Adeline, Resplendent Cathar deck, where I can reliably trigger her ability at least three times on each of my turns
As such, the most expensive Magic cards of 2023 are likely to be a mix of new releases and vintage classics
