You’re not dreaming. A seven-mana commander that requires four different colors of mana has put up a solid argument to be considered one of the best new cEDH cards from 2023.

While 3 mana and 2 life for an Esper Sentinel or a Skullclamp isn’t exactly the best rate, it can be argued that these cards are worth more than 1 mana in the first place!

With cards like Jeska’s Will, Professional Face-Breaker, and Prosper, Tome-Bound seeing a ton of play in Commander, this card is in a prime position to have a big impact on the table every time that it hits the battlefield.

Imagine an enchantment with an effect like K’rrik, Son of Yawgmoth but for all colors. For each colored mana in a cost, you may pay 2 life rather than pay that mana. That doesn’t sound broken at all, especially not with Fist of Suns.
