If so, this is the commander for you! Take advantage of double strike and Bant's strong color combo to ramp him out, buff him up, and crush the midrange decks before they get off the ground. There's also a lot of protection because your opponents will start to fear Rafiq :(. \nEnjoy your new position as scariest player at the table!\n"}]}
