mtg lotr commander deck builds Legendary Fellowship Commander Deck -

Having this 10-mana enchantment in play means that you dont have to worry about mana anymore

Recalls are seen more commonly than Black Lotuses and are cheaper, but thats not saying much here

Vivi Ornitier's effect is so good, and can be copied onto other creatures (something Izzet Cauldron decks do in Standard), so they too can provide mana to make for explosive turns where you can play your entire hand and draw a bunch of cards

What listings you can find will ask for around $500, which is a lot for a card from Fallen Empires, a set where the most expensive card is six dollars

It even has a great activated ability that buffs all your soldiers with +1/+1 until end of turn for just mana and tapping the Beachhead

Functionally, this card doesnt seem to make much sense except as a deathtouch-themed Golgari commander
