When Silver Surfer enters, you may search your library for a card named Galactus, Devourer of Worlds, reveal it, put it into your hand, then shuffle.
Whenever Silver Surfer deals combat damage to a player, until the end of your next turn, target creature attacks that player each combat if able.
Picked for what they do in Silver Surfer's deck. When two cards do the same job, the one with the lower comes first. All of them fit Silver Surfer'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 glossaryAggroAggro decks play cheap creatures early and attack every turn, trying to knock opponents out before their bigger plans come together.Open the Aggro pageEvasionAn ability that makes a creature hard to block, so its attacks reach the player. Flying, menace, landwalk and plain 'can't be blocked' are the common kinds.Open the Evasion pageTutors / ToolboxCards that search your deck for another card, each one called a tutor, so you can find the exact answer you need.Open the Tutors / Toolbox pageTutor - NarrowFinds a specific class of card: a subtype, a named card, an Equipment, or one capped by mana value.

Because a Commander deck may only contain one copy of each card, a tutor is how you reliably find the exact one you need. See the Tutor tier tags for how broad each search is.

Evasion makes these far more reliable. Ragavan, Nimble PilfererOpen the Saboteur page
