It turns out The Beast is adept at turning creatures against their creators, so to speak

Prismari Artistry Commanders The face commander for Prismari Artistry is Rootha, Mastering the Moment who is providing you with value each turn when you play one of those big spells as she creates giant flying hastey Elementals
