About Haldan, Avid Arcanist

Haldan, Avid Arcanist, Legendary creature — human wizard, designed by Manuel Castañón first released in Apr, 2020 in the set Commander 2020 and was printed exactly in 2 different ways. It see play in 1 formats: Commander. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 10.86.

Haldan, Avid Arcanist is a versatile addition to a deck focused on card advantage and spellcasting flexibility, particularly in a Commander format. Its ability to partner with Pako, Arcane Retriever adds another layer of strategic options. While there may be other powerful cards in the same mana cost range, Haldan's unique playstyle and potential for explosive turns make it a strong contender for inclusion in decks looking to capitalize on exiled cards with fetch counters and mana flexibility.

Rules

04/17/20

A creature card that you exiled with a fetch counter on it may be cast as a noncreature spell if a rule or effect (such as that of adventurer cards) allows you to do so.

04/17/20

Both commanders start in the command zone, and the remaining 98 cards of your deck are shuffled to become your library.

04/17/20

Haldan’s ability applies only while it’s on the battlefield. You’ll be able to play cards you exiled with fetch counters before Haldan entered the battlefield, and if Haldan leaves, you won’t be able to play cards that were exiled with fetch counters until Haldan returns.

04/17/20

Once the game begins, your two commanders are tracked separately. If you cast one, you won’t have to pay an additional the first time you cast the other. A player loses the game after having been dealt 21 damage from one of them, not from both of them combined. Command Beacon’s effect puts one into your hand from the command zone, not both.

04/17/20

The second ability represented by the “partner with [name]” keyword modifies the rules for deck construction in the Commander variant and has no function outside of that variant. If a legendary creature card with “partner with [name]” is designated as your commander, the named legendary creature card can also be designated as your commander.

04/17/20

You exile cards and put +1/+1 counters on Pako all while Pako’s last ability is resolving. Nothing can happen between the two, and no player may choose to take actions.

04/17/20

“Partner with [name]” represents two abilities. The first is a triggered ability: “When this permanent enters the battlefield, target player may search their library for a card named [name], reveal it, put it into their hand, then shuffle their library.”
