mtg baldur's gate card Gond | Commander Legends: Battle for Gate Foil | Commander They gain first strike until end of turn Elminster

Cards like Primal Prayers, Aetherworks Marvel and the aforementioned Nissa are true gamewinners when you pair them with this kind of energy generation

Will of the council cards only have one effect after voting is over, and that depends on what the majority picked

Where Aetherling excels above most other cube cards is in reliabiliy

For example, Olaf can be banished to bounce Sid or another of your Characters back to hand while Lilo can come back from the discard etc

Some thoughts: I don't know your metta but if you ever consider taking out Force of Despair, I could see Witherbloom Command doing a lot of work for this deck as a very flexible spell that is cheaper and still triggers Woodlurker Mimic
