About Kraum, Ludevic's Opus

Kraum, Ludevic's Opus, Legendary creature — zombie horror, designed by Aaron Miller first released in Nov, 2016 in the set Commander 2016 and was printed exactly in 4 different ways. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 2573.56.

Kraum, Ludevic's Opus would be a great addition to a spell-heavy tempo or control deck that aims to disrupt the opponent's game plan while drawing cards to maintain card advantage. While Kraum's ability to draw cards on the opponent's second spell cast is powerful, there are other cards like Snapcaster Mage or Jace, Vryn's Prodigy that may offer more flexibility and value in certain situations. However, Kraum's flying and haste make it a strong threat that can pressure opponents while providing card advantage, making it a solid choice for decks looking to maintain tempo and control the game.

Rules

11/10/20

If something refers to your commander while you have two commanders, it refers to one of them of your choice. If you are instructed to perform an action on your commander (e.g. put it from the command zone into your hand due to Command Beacon), you choose one of your commanders at the time the effect happens.

11/10/20

If your Commander deck has two commanders, you can only include cards whose own color identities are also found in your commanders’ combined color identities. If Falthis and Kediss are your commanders, your deck may contain cards with black and/or red in their color identity, but not cards with green, white, or blue.

11/10/20

Kraum’s triggered ability will resolve regardless of whether the first or second spell that a given opponent cast that turn has resolved, was countered, or is still on the stack. Notably, the ability will always resolve before the second spell resolves.

11/10/20

One opponent must cast two spells for Kraum’s triggered ability to trigger. Two spells from different opponents won’t cause it to trigger.

11/10/20

To have two commanders, both must have the partner ability as the game begins. Losing the ability during the game doesn’t cause either to cease to be your commander.

11/10/20

You can choose two commanders with partner that are the same color or colors. In Commander Draft, you can even choose two of the same commander with partner if you drafted them. If you do this, make sure you keep the number of times you’ve cast each from the command zone clear for “commander tax” purposes.
