Rasaad yn Bashir⁣ - Commander Legends: Battle for Baldur's Gate⁣ (Uncommon)⁣ [37]

Rasaad yn Bashir is a creature that fundamentally alters how your creatures deal damage in combat. Instead of using their power, they use their toughness to determine how much damage they inflict, which can be beneficial if you have creatures with high toughness, as they can deal more damage than usual. Additionally, when Rasaad attacks and you have the initiative, he doubles the toughness of all your creatures until the end of turn, allowing for a potentially massive surge in damage output during that combat phase. You'd want to play Rasaad yn Bashir in a deck that focuses on creatures with high toughness or ones that can benefit from being able to hit harder in combat. However, his effectiveness relies on having the initiative, which can be a temporary state that you might not always control, making him somewhat situational. Also, his low power (0) means he can't contribute to combat damage himself unless boosted by other effects. **As a Commander:** Rasaad can work as a unique commander, especially in a deck built around high-toughness creatures and combat tricks. However, since he doesn't provide a direct win condition on his own and relies heavily on the initiative mechanic, he might be better suited as part of the 99
