cards that flicker mtg oracletag:flicker · Scryfall Magic: The Gathering Search Put it onto the battlefield if its mana value is 2 or less MTG's Best Flicker Commanders (Payoffs)

Well, you could have something spicier already in the graveyard to bring back

Overall, while Bartz and Boko isnt enough to make Birds a contender in Commander on its own, its a great step in that direction

A 2 mana 2/2 creature that can be played in response to a fetchland like Wooded Foothills, a watered down version like Fabled Passage or Terramorphic Expanse, a ramp spell like Three Visits, or another means of cheating cards into play like Kodama of the East Tree in order to ramp out one Plains card from your deck is already good value

The deck's alternate commander, Hearthull continues that theme, giving you a way to destroy your own lands, and even more benefits for doing so

Out of the Tombs is a unique self-mill card that replaces decking yourself out with reanimating a creature from your graveyard
