Archelos - The Durdle Turtle

Introduction:

When I first heard about a legendary turtle to be printed in "commander legends", I was beyond excited... When I first heard about its abilities, I was beyond inspired... When I first looked at its artwork, it was love at first sight! Archelos, Lagoon Mystic is everything I want for my commander: First he is a turtle with an amazing artwork (I'm getting Master Oogway-vibes from this one). Second he has a very useful, unique and powerful, yet not unnecessarily busted and most importantly: a very flavourful ability. Finally he comes as a Sultai-legend, a color-identity which is very fun and versatile to build around.

While many people start thinking about STAX immediately, I thought about something completely different when I first saw him: "Tap-Lands"! Yes, you've heard me right - Tap-Lands will be my way to go!
