Miara, Thorn of the Glade
$0.34
$0.34Legendary Creature — Elf Scout
Elf-based partner deck that floods the board with cheap creatures and draws a card each time one of them dies.
Read more
Miara is a two-mana 1/2 Elf Scout. Whenever she or another Elf you control dies, you may pay {1} and 1 life to draw a card. That turns chump blocks, trades and sacrifice outlets into card draw, as long as you have mana and life to spare. Miara has the original partner keyword, so she sits next to another partner commander, and the deck plays cheap Elves and creatures that go wide early.
In the recorded games, Miara usually paired with Livio, Oathsworn Sentinel or Tevesh Szat, Doom of Fools. Next to Tevesh, small creatures and Thrull tokens doubled as fodder for his +1, drawing cards while Miara refilled the hand on each Elf death. Some lists ran Ad Nauseam to dig for answers after an aggressive start. The deck applied steady early pressure and was hard to grind out without sweepers. Its problem came later: tables that built card advantage faster or slowed combat with attrition often outlasted it.
How it feels to play against
