+2: Arzakon deals 3 damage to any other target. −3: Create a Black Lotus token. (It's a {0} artifact with "{T}, Sacrifice this token: Add three mana of any one color.") −7: Each player shuffles their hand and graveyard into their library, then draws seven cards. Arzakon can be your commander.

Predicted power

Standard — Eng.NLUsr.—

Pioneer — Eng.NLUsr.—

Modern 37 Eng.DUsr.—

The Lotus token is immediate, but WUBRG at five mana is a major cost; unlike Karn, the Great Creator, it lacks a proven shell or standalone lock.

Band fringeConfidence 44%

Could be wrong if An existing fast-mana or combo shell could convert the three-mana token into a reliable winning turn.

Legacy 34 Eng.D-Usr.—

Even with strong mana, a WUBRG five-drop is slower than Legacy engines; its Lotus burst lacks Karn, the Great Creator's toolbox payoff or protection.

Band fringeConfidence 43%

Could be wrong if Legacy fast mana and dense combo payoffs could make the post-cast Lotus burst worth its difficult colors.

Pauper — Eng.NLUsr.—

Commander 66 Eng.BUsr.—

From the command zone it repeatedly creates Black Lotus tokens for big-mana or artifact-sacrifice turns, while the +2 supplies modest board control.

Best home Arzakon five-color commanderBand competitiveConfidence 58%

Could be wrong if Planeswalker vulnerability and demanding WUBRG setup may make it too slow outside dedicated lists.

Limited 70 Eng.B+Usr.—

If cast, repeatable 3-damage +2 and Lotus acceleration are premium; WUBRG makes it a demanding build-around rather than a reliable bomb.

Best home Five-color controlBand premiumConfidence 33%

Could be wrong if Unknown fixing and format speed determine whether five colors is viable and whether the walker survives.

five-color mana engine

“A five-color planeswalker whose repeatable Black Lotus tokens offer powerful but mana-base-dependent acceleration.”
