Category: Homelands


 

One of the best cards out of Homelands, we have Baron Sengir, a Rare from the set. Baron Sengir is a 5/5 for 5BBB; a bit mana-heavy compared to most generals, but Baron Sengir is quite impressive in my opinion. A 5/5 with flying, and whenever he kills a creature, he gets a +2/+2 counter (instead of two +1/+1 counters; unsure of the interaction with -1/-1 counters) and he can regenerate any of your vampires.

With this being the list of available vampires, you can easily make a tribal vampire deck around him. Personally, I prefer Anowon due to the lower mana cost, but he definitely deserves a slot in your 99 if you’re playing vampire tribal.

Cards to play Baron Sengir with:

  • Anowon, the Ruin Sage
  • Vampire Nocturnus
  • Vampire Nighthawk
  • Ascendant Evincar
  • Bloodlord of Vasgoth
  • Captivating Vampire

 

Autumn Willow is a Legendary Avatar from Homelands which is among one of the more unusual cards from Homelands. Along with Homelands being a rather mediocre set, it has some of the most unusual art for it’s time, this card in particular. As said in the discussion for this card on the gatherer:

Obsoleted by today’s fatties, but the ability to allow you to target her makes her rather flexible.

The artwork is kind of odd, though. “Watch as I swing with my 4/4 shrouded MILF!”

This generally sums up the card. A 4/4 for 4GG isn’t great, but it was better at the time, and optional shroud makes her both unusual and flexible. While I wouldn’t recommend her as a general, if you’ve got an attachment to this card, she makes a decent addition to any green commander deck you may want to play.
