Kazierts on How Good is Atalan Jackal?
1 week ago
Here's actually something I disagree with wallisface. I don't think Wood Elves is much worse than Cultivate nor is marginally better than Atalan Jackal.
If we're talking about raw ramp, then yes, Cultivate is better because it can also set up future ramp such as Explore and Growth Spiral, but Wood Elves can get nonbasic lands such as Indatha Triome. I'm not saying it's an auto-include if you have nonbasic forest, but it's something I'd consider.
About Atalan Jackal, just look at its EDHrec page. You'll see roughly 4 types of commanders that play it.
- Warhammer commanders - I imagine this is because it comes in the precons.
- Haste commanders - Ognis, the Dragon's Lash, Minsc & Boo, Timeless Heroes, Deathleaper, Terror Weapon and Samut, Vizier of Naktamun.
- Combat commanders - Anzrag, the Quake-Mole, Mr. Orfeo, the Boulder and General Marhault Elsdragon.
- Very creature focused decks - Animar, Soul of Elements, Nikya of the Old Ways and Ruric Thar, the Unbowed.
These aren't the only commanders that run this card, but the ones that play it the most. They don't run Atalan Jackal because it's good, but because it actually synergises with the overall strategy. It doesn't enable the strategy, it is part of the strategy.

haste + ETB this turn + ninjas. Goro-Goro and Satoru, Ognis, the Dragon's Lash, Deathleaper, Terror Weapon, Samut, Vizier of Naktamun, Higure, the Still Wind... Kind of a legendary subtheme, there. The commander options are a partner set or Yidris, Maelstrom Wielder, unless somehow finds a spot in there.
