• Introduction:

A light in mirrodin becomes a being.

  • The deck:

It's all about reclaiming and modularity here. The cycle of "artificial natural" life in Mirrodin is short and cruel, but also plenty of life and interaction. Your creatures are designed to die, in fact. Most of then are, in any case- as you want to grow your commander just enough to provide a lethal swing.

Zabaz is the first legendary to ever actually care about the "modular" ability at all. Modular is a quite underrated feature of the artificial life found in Mirrodin, that basically gives the stats of the creature its dying to another one, "saving" to some extent the value. Zabaz increases this value, and only costs a miserable 1 mana, so we can cast it a bunch of times, and can even bring it back each turn with cards like Abiding Grace. Zabaz also has the possibility to fly, making it a bit more evasive, and can destroy our own artifacts at will- so we can will a bunch of our own modular triggers in response to combat damage to obtain lethal, for example. So its a mix of low cost, flexibility, evasion and not having anything like it the reason this bug is the commander.

  • The deck's strengths:

We are very resourceful and will almost always benefit from what is happening on the battlefield, to some different extents. Zabaz may be unimpressive the first time, but this little insect can easily get out of hands

  • The deck's weaknesses:

The main theme of the deck, modular, is vastly underrepresented. Extremely few creatures with modular are worth playing, and most are draft chaff; other than this he has not had any
