Greetings humans, you have entered the Command Zone.

Your destination for all aspects of Elder Dragon Highlander.

Enjoy your stay.

Hello everybody and welcome back to another episode of the Command Zone podcast.

I'm your host Rachel Weeks and today joining me is Murph.

Hello there. I'm excited to be able to upgrade a very, very cool deck with you today, Rachel.

Absolutely. This is the last of the five. We did it. It's here.

Finally. Sorry it took so long.

This is one that everybody has been waiting for, Rachel.

It's always that way. Where is the Witherbroom Precon upgrade? We're delivering for you. It's here. It's right here. Today we are upgrading the Witherbloom Pestulence Precon from Secrets of Strickson. Of course, with our upgrades, we had 10 cards. We take 10 cards out.

We use a budget of $50 to improve it. Get it in peak, fighting shape for your next game night. If you're watching this now, you're probably like, yeah, I've had it for ages. Tell me how to upgrade it. So, but we're still going to do all the stats as usual in case you haven't picked it up yet waiting on this. But it's time to get to know the deck. And the best way to get to know any pre-count, of course, is by meeting the face commanders. Would you like to introduce Dina? Yes. Let's talk about Dina Essence Brewer. It's one black and a green for a two- three. Whenever you sacrifice a creature, draw a card.

This ability triggers only once each turn. You can also pay two, tap, sacrifice another creature.

You gain X life and put X plus one plus one counters on target creature you control where X is a

sacrificed creature's power. Okay. So a little bit of sacrifice, a little bit of pump, a little bit of

life gain. Dina's kind of going in a couple different directions. Yes. Dina has a lot of words on her that all kind of pull in separate things that you can do with it. We have, obviously, the first line of text, which is whenever you sacrifice a creature, draw a card. So we know we want to be sacrificing things. Creatures, for sure. Creatures. We want to be sacrificing creatures absolutely no matter what.

Yeah.

And yeah, as a second ability as well where it's gaining you life and putting encounters on something.

Right. So it's sort of transferring one creature's power to another creature and gaining you a little bit of life along the way.

I think this is actually a sort of a deceptively open-ended commander.

You could build this as a plus one plus one counter's deck. You could build this as a sacrifice

deck. It depends on like the part of Dina that excites you. So we're going to get into the

stats of this deck in just a moment to tell you sort of what direction this precon takes Dina.
