This makes Emeria Shepherd a great way to keep your big threats (or Platinum Angel) on the battlefield in a game of MTG Commander

So while it wasnt truly official outside of tournaments until 1999, it was already widely accepted before then

Of course, it would be inefficient to use this space to list the top 10 eye-wateringly expensive cards when theres hundreds more worth money that you might not even realize you have

Mostly though, they make Hydra spells you cast cost four generic mana less to cast

Soon you can craft your hand into the perfect response for your opponent

The two cards play together reasonably, with their mana costs playing a role in illustrating the fact that theyre going to slot into slower archetypes
