When I decide to build a new commander deck, I typically ask myself two questions: Is the potential commander doing powerful things and is it allowing me to approach the game from a unique perspective?

When I purchased a box of Kamigawa: Neon Dynasty I fell in love with the art direction of the Satoru Umezawa buy-a-box promo. The art was created by the lead character designer of the Metal Gear series and it makes sense that the stylistic depiction of a cybernetic ninja would not only evoke nostalgic feelings but also inspire me to build a deck.
