Murders at Karlov Manor is adding many new Commander options to the MTG, and Pride of Hull Clade is one of the best among them.
Ravnica’s Simic Combine made its name in generating incredible bio-engineered hybrids. Whenever an MTG set returns to Ravnica, you can bet that the Simic will have some new form of freaky Creature to add to the game.
The Pride of Hull Clade is among Simic’s greatest achievements. This is a new MTG creature debuting in Murders at Karlov Manor with an incredibly potent defense that will provide a generous boost to toughness-matters decks.
Pride of Hull Clade fits right into Toughness decks
Swapping out toughness for power is a well-loved gameplay style in MTG, as with other TCG archetypes like Yu-Gi-Oh’s Superheavy Samurai. The popularity of Commanders like Arcades the Strategist proves that sometimes the best offense is a good defense.
While Arcades is a hefty hitter in their own right, Pride of Hull Clade eclipses it significantly in Commander damage potential. Boasting a whopping 15 toughness and an incredible draw ability, this card can serve as either a Commander or the ace in the hole in another toughness deck.
While Pride of Hull Clade’s steep casting cost may seem initially prohibitive, it can be reduced to next to nothing when building a deck with toughness in mind. Green players will already have mana to spare, so this discount is just the icing on the cake.
We can see this being a popular addition to many MTG decks.
