Courtesy of Wizards of the Coast (WotC), take a look at the return of Hidetsugu in the form of a mythic rare saga from Kamigawa: Neon Dynasty — Hidetsugu Consumes All!
[I]: Destroy each nonland permanent with mana value 1 or less.
[II]: Exile all graveyards.
[III]: Exile this Saga, then return it to the battlefield transformed under your control.
Trample
Whenever Vessel of the All-Consuming deals damage, put a +1/+1 counter on it.
Whenever Vessel of the All-Consuming deals damage to a player, if it has dealt 10 or more damage to that player this turn, they lose the game.
Hidetsugu gets a second card in the set to go along with Hidetsugu, Devouring Chaos. For three mana, the Saga enters the battlefield and destroys all nonland permanents with mana value 1 or less then exiles all graveyards to make sure they don’t come back to the battlefield. The third chapter exiles the Saga for it to transform into Vessel of the All-Consuming.
Once it returns, you have invested three mana in a removal spell, graveyard hate, and a 3/3 with trample and even more upside. By dealing damage — to anything, not just players — he grows. Then, if you can find a way to deal ten damage to a player they lose the game. Talk about all-consuming!
So what do you think of Hidetsugu Consumes All? Does it have the makings of an eternal format staple or a way to kill off players in Commander with one attack?
Kamigawa: Neon Dynasty is scheduled to release on February 18, 2022. View our official preview gallery.
