Brallin, Skyshark Rider Brallin, Skyshark Rider is a commander that gets bigger when you discard cards, and youll even damage your opponents directly while doing so
Since state-based actions arent checked until all effects on the stack are resolved, the creature still has +1/+1 counters on it as it dies, despite the counters normally canceling each other out and removing each other
But they can also be worth the time spent
[deck title=Mono-Blue Extra Turns] [spells] *1 Elixir of Immortality *2 Howling Mine *2 Gigadrowse *4 Serum Visions *3 Sleight of Hand *4 Spreading Seas *4 Dictate of Kruphix *4 Cryptic Command *4 Time Warp *2 Part the Waterveil *2 Walk the Aeons *4 Temporal Mastery *1 Temporal Trespass [/spells] [land] *19 Island *1 Oboro, Palace in the Clouds *1 Minamo, School at Waters Edge *2 Radiant Fountain [/land] [/deck] The Sideboard There are several directions to go with the sideboard, and Ill caution that mine is currently very experimental
Now, your opponent can do the same, but, if since youre an Emerald deck that can run discard cards, you could bleed them out of resources and potentially leave mediocre plays in their hand, that dont stand a chance against the Character youve developed
