Donatello, Rad Scientist

Legendary Creature — Mutant Ninja Turtle

Donatello wants a deck that plays cheap creatures and attacks from the first turns. It also works in a deck built around Mutants, Ninjas or Turtles.

Vigilance (Attacking doesn't cause this creature to tap.)

When Donatello enters, tap up to three target creatures your opponents control. Put a stun counter on each of them. (If a permanent with a stun counter would become untapped, remove one from it instead.)

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 glossaryUPlayers write colors as letters: U for blue.

You keep that effect even if the card is removed straight afterwards, which is why these pair so well with flicker cards that make them enter again.
