Livaan, Cultist of Tiamat⁣ - Commander Legends: Battle for Baldur's Gate⁣ (Uncommon)⁣ [188]

Livaan, Cultist of Tiamat is a 1/3 Dragon Shaman that can boost your creatures whenever you cast a noncreature spell. Specifically, when you play any noncreature spell, you can choose a creature to receive a temporary power boost equal to the mana value of that spell, making it a potential game-changer in combat or for breaking through blockers. This ability encourages a spell-heavy strategy, rewarding you for casting instants, sorceries, and enchantments by turning them into a way to strengthen your board. **As a Commander:** Livaan can serve as a fun and unique commander in a deck focused on noncreature spells and boosting a single creature for aggressive plays. However, being a 1/3 creature means it’s relatively weak on its own, and the reliance on noncreature spells could leave you vulnerable to creature-heavy strategies. It might work better in the 99 of a deck that already has strong noncreature synergy, rather than as the commander itself, where it may struggle to assert control over the game.
