­Myth Unbound + Screeching Bat

1/1 flier, nice and basic. And "Killing my commander benefits me, and is cheaper to get it back". Surprising to see.

So the most basic commander card? That would be one that enables you to ignore the commander restriction, and just go ahead and build the deck you want.

Kind of hard to see how a 'most basic' card could cost 5, so it needs to have its colour in the text box.

Well, this came out thoroughly MEH. The problem is a commander wants to be the thing inspiring you to make the deck.

Not everyone wants to "build around" their commander. Some people just want to build five-colour-goodstuff, and would appreciate this as an alternative to Child of Alara/Reaper King/Progenitus.

This could actually be nice in a five-colour artifacts deck that appreciates having a cheap reliable artifact creature, to e.g. Ensoul Artifact, or use to trigger your Mishra's Self-Replicator or whatever.

It's not going to be the most interesting legend ever, but it's a role player, which is fair enough.

White and red got their five-colour monocolour legends - General Tazri and Najeela, the Blade-Blossom - this could be the artifact entry in that megacycle.
