It has flash, it has flying, and it generates value! Nymris, Oona’s Trickster definitely checks all the boxes for fans of Faeries and is a must-have for Dimir Commander decks.
Whenever you cast your first spell during each opponent’s turn, look at the top two cards of your library. Put one of those cards into your hand and the other into your graveyard.
While five mana may seem like a big investment for 1/6 in stats, Nymris’ strength lies not in attacking, but in the value it generates. With Nymris on the battlefield, even the cheapest of spells become marginally more powerful, turning a card like Opt into a functional “look at four cards and choose two.”
Now that’s value!
In true Dimir fashion, Nymris’ ability also fills the graveyard while digging for cards and the 1/6 stat-line provides a big body that’s great for blocking. Plus, it’s tough to deal with outside of dedicated spot removal or sweeper spells, making it likely to stick around for awhile for Dimir and Faerie fans alike.
