Krang, the All-Powerful

Legendary Artifact Creature — Utrom Robot

Krang wants a deck that makes everyone swap their hand for a fresh one. It also suits a deck that keeps making its creatures bigger turn after turn.

If a player drawing a card causes a triggered ability of a permanent you control to trigger, that ability triggers an additional time.

Whenever a player draws their second card each turn, put a +1/+1 counter on Krang.

Wizards of the Coast 27 Jan 2026

If a triggered ability is linked to a second ability, additional instances of that triggered ability are also linked to that second ability. If the second ability refers to "the exiled card," it refers to all cards exiled by instances of the triggered ability.

Wizards of the Coast 27 Jan 2026

Krang's first ability doesn't copy the triggered ability; it just causes the ability to trigger an additional time. Any choices made as you put the ability onto the stack, such as modes and targets, are made separately for each instance of the ability. Any choices made on resolution, such as whether to put counters on a permanent, are also made individually.

Wizards of the Coast 27 Jan 2026

Triggered abilities use the word "when," "whenever," or "at." They're often written as "[Trigger condition], [effect]." Some keyword abilities are triggered abilities and will have "when," "whenever," or "at" in their reminder text.

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.

One way is making opponents lose life for each card they draw. The name comes from the card Wheel of Fortune.Open the Wheels pageDraw PayoffRewards card drawing: it triggers whenever you or an opponent draws a card, rather than drawing cards itself. Pair it with cards that make everyone draw, like Wheel of Fortune or Howling Mine, so the cards everyone else gets end up working for you.

A counter here is a small permanent marker that raises a creature's power and toughness for good. It is not a counterspell, which is a different thing entirely. Something that adds them every turn makes your whole board bigger and keeps it that way.
