Siani, Eye of the Storm

Description

This variant is distinguished by its Etched finish, a premium treatment that enhances the card's visual appeal and texture while maintaining the integrity of the original design by artist Heonhwa. Siani operates primarily within blue mana, requiring a mana cost of three generic and one blue mana to cast. As a creature with the Djinn and Monk subtypes, she offers a balanced power and toughness profile of 3/2, making her efficiency dependent on the abilities granted by her legendary status. The card features the flying ability, allowing it to bypass blockers without flying, which is crucial for early-game aggression or defense in the Commander format. The core mechanic of Siani revolves around her attack trigger. Whenever she attacks, players scry a number of cards equal to the count of attacking creatures with flying. This ability encourages decks to build around the Partner mechanic, allowing commanders with Partner to work in tandem. By combining Siani with other flying creatures, collectors and players can amplify the scry effect, drawing through their deck and finding key answers or threats more consistently. For collectors, the Etched finish of Commander Legends cards provides a tactile experience that stands out among standard prints. This version, identified by the set code CMR, appeals to those who appreciate both the aesthetic quality of premium finishes and the strategic versatility of the Partner mechanic. Whether used to build a competitive deck or added to a thematic collection of legendary creatures, Siani, Eye of the Storm represents a significant piece of the 2020 Commander Legends set.
