Courtesy of Wizards of the Coast (WotC) and Kenji “NumotTheNummy” Egashira, take a look at a Simic mythic rare from Kaldheim — Koma, Cosmos Serpent!
This spell can’t be countered.
At the beginning of each upkeep, create a 3/3 blue Serpent creature token named Koma’s Coil.
Being naturally uncounterable, Koma is poised to be a bane for control decks, and the longer it sticks around, you’ll soon have a battlefield packed with Serpents to fuel Koma’s additional abilities.
Sacrifice another Serpent: Choose one –
– Tap target permanent. Its abilities can’t be activated this turn.
– Koma, Cosmos Serpent gains indestructible until the end of turn.
As Koma is left unanswered, your battlefield grows with Serpents that can be sacrificed for a number of nice bonuses, including protecting Koma from sweeper spells and most spot removal. It’s also important to note that Koma’s first ability can tap down more than just creatures, shutting down important lands, artifacts and more while also removing their abilities for a turn.
So what do you think of Koma, Cosmos Serpent? Could it find a home as a finisher in control decks? Let us know in the comments below!
Kaldheim is currently scheduled to release on February 5. You can check out our official Kaldheim Preview Gallery here.
