Raphael, the Muscle - Commander: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (Mythic) [TMC-4]

Raphael, the Muscle doubles the damage dealt by creatures you control that have counters, making him a significant threat in strategies that focus on counter manipulation. Upon entering the battlefield, he generates a Mutagen token, enhancing your board presence right away. His ability to amplify damage output can create explosive turns, particularly in aggressive or counter-centric decks. **As a Commander:** Raphael's ability to partner with another commander offers flexible deck-building options, allowing for diverse strategies that can capitalise on damage amplification. His red colour identity suggests a focus on aggressive gameplay and synergy with creatures that can easily accumulate counters, making him a strong choice in the 99 or as a lead in a dedicated counter theme.
