Commander Liara Portyr⁣ - Commander Legends: Battle for Baldur's Gate⁣ (Uncommon)⁣ [270]

Commander Liara Portyr is a 5/3 Human Soldier that costs {3}{R}{W} to cast. When you attack with her, the number of players you’re attacking reduces the casting cost of spells you cast from exile this turn by that same number. You can then exile the top X cards of your library, where X is the number of players attacked, and you can cast any of those exiled spells until the end of your turn. This ability encourages aggressive play, allowing you to potentially unleash powerful spells at a reduced cost based on how many opponents you’re engaging, making her effective in multiplayer formats. **As a Commander:** While Liara can certainly be an interesting commander, her effectiveness largely hinges on the ability to attack multiple players, which isn't always guaranteed. If you build your deck to maximise exile effects and spells that can be used from exile, she could shine. However, her relatively low toughness and reliance on attacking might make her better suited as a dynamic addition to the 99 in a deck focused on attacking and exile strategies, rather than leading the charge herself. Overall, she’s a fun card for aggressive strategies but may not be the most consistent choice for a commander.
