Sometimes in the midgame Ill have 4-6 creatures and 2-3 Mastery of the Unseens, and flipping a creature gains enough life that the opponent cant possibly kill you before you can go even bigger
Plus, its a cool minotaur to boot
Cast it to get a 6/6 deathtouch alongside two 2/2 zombie tokens, a total of 10/10 worth of stats from one card
Six mana is a lot, though, and while it gives me a reason to run some mono-red Final Fantasy cards together, Im not sure it beats out Valduk, Keeper of the Flame in terms of mono-red equipment commanders
Much like Kamahl, Fist of Krosa this can be a card that proves more useful among the 99 rather than as a commander, but since it can be paired up with a background, it allows you some extra options when deciding which other color you want to play
It's a shame how much it costs to activate and that it only sees basic swamps so Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth doesn't work as well
