Phenax, God of Deception | Illustration by Ryan Barger Devotion is a mechanic that counts the number and type of colored mana symbols in the mana costs of your permanents
Also, this aura offers a huge buff to a creature, if you're interested in the mechanics, of course, and not just in how very cool the artwork is
Getting 2/2s simply for playing Magic is a strong ability on its own, and opens up options for mana ramp, Voltron (making 1 creature super strong through powerups), Curses like Curse of Opulence for table politicking, and several other cool, unique effects that Auras can bring to the table as you build a token army
They have lots of powerful synergizing abilities, and some feature the Amass mechanic, an ability last seen in 2019's War of the Spark
Call for Aid is, without a doubt, the best new card in the deck
Youre limited to gaining control of only Creatures, but in a multiplayer Commander game, youll often be able to take something with a decent attack trigger and get some value, as well as a nice life boost
