Alright... Let's talk Mayael the Anima.

Mayael is one of those commanders that scream to the certain player in all of us, the player inside that sat on a playground before the great cardgame ban of '97, or huddled in your favorite LGS with your Nerd friends swinging your giant DRAGONS and ANGELS and LEVIATHANS at each other.

For 6 mana putting any creature with 5 or greater power onto the battlefield flat across the board, what could be better? Avacyn, Archangel of Hope? 6 mana. Ulamog, the Infinite Gyre? 6 mana, Worldspine Wurm? 6 Mana!

Mayael is the kind of commander that can speak to us, and I would love to take her as far as I can but I need your help.

My thoughts on building Mayael properly are:

A) Pick two colors to focus on, don't over extend your mana base.

B) The third color should be just for splashing, so therefore it should do something SPLASHY.

C) Mayael is not your win condition, she is a tool to help and over-reliance on her will lose you games, build as if she won't ever be cast or activated.

I do not believe she can stand up in a hyper competitive meta, Counter spell effects can set you back an entire turn because of the CMC of our deck, mass removal as well as targeted removal set you back quite a few steps because we do not have the card draw that other decks have to recover.

--I will be updating with thoughts as I go, hopefully you enjoy this deck and the discussion I hope to have about one of my favorite generals!--
