When Atsushi dies, choose one —
• Exile the top two cards of your library. Until the end of your next turn, you may play those cards.
Picked for what they do in Atsushi's deck. When two cards do the same job, the one with the lower comes first. All of them fit Atsushi's color identity.Mana ValueThe total amount of mana a card costs, all added up. A card costing two generic and one green has a mana value of three. Wizards renamed this from "converted mana cost" in 2021, so older cards and articles may still use the old name.Open the full glossary
Color identityEvery color of mana symbol on a card, in its cost and in its rules text. Your commander's color identity sets the limit for your whole deck: every other card has to fit inside it. A deck led by a green and white commander cannot play a card with any blue in its color identity.Open the full glossaryRPlayers write colors as letters: R for red.TreasuresTreasure decks make lots of Treasures, small artifact tokens you can trade in for one mana of any color, then spend that mana on big plays. Many of the same cards reward you for having or sacrificing artifacts, so each Treasure does two jobs.Open the Treasures pageTreasure EngineProduces Treasure tokens repeatedly. A Treasure is a small artifact token you sacrifice for one mana of any color. Something that keeps making them is mana acceleration and, at the same time, a steady supply of artifacts to sacrifice for anything that wants them.

You have to use them or lose them.

Saving them up lets you cast something big early, or feed anything that likes sacrificing artifacts.Open the Treasure pageAristocratsAristocrats decks sacrifice their own creatures on purpose and profit every time one dies, often by draining life from each opponent. A sacrifice outlet, a card that lets you sacrifice whenever you like, decides when that happens.Open the Aristocrats pageDeath TriggerTriggers when a creature dies, whether it is this creature, one of yours or an opponent's. These are the cards that pay you in an Aristocrats deck: something else makes creatures die, and these decide what you get each time.

Ponder lets you rearrange the top three, Serum Visions lets you scry, and Consider lets you surveil. It makes your draws more reliable without giving you extra cards.Open the Card Selection page
