About Ludevic, Necro-Alchemist

Ludevic, Necro-Alchemist, Legendary creature — human wizard, 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 27.33.

A deck that focuses on group slug or politics strategies would benefit from Ludevic, Necro-Alchemist, as it incentivizes opponents to lose life, potentially drawing you additional cards. While Ludevic can be a fun and unique addition to such a deck, there are potentially better options for card draw engines in Commander, such as Rhystic Study or Mystic Remora, which can provide more consistent card advantage. Whether Ludevic should see play ultimately depends on the specific goals and themes of the deck, but it can certainly be a fun and interesting choice for players looking to spice up their gameplay experience.

Rules

11/10/20

An effect that checks whether you control your commander is satisfied if you control one or both of your two commanders.

11/10/20

Both commanders start in the command zone, and the remaining 98 cards (or 58 cards in a Commander Draft game) of your deck are shuffled to become your library.

11/10/20

Damage dealt to a player causes that player to lose that much life.

11/10/20

If a player lost life and subsequently lost the game, the player whose turn it is may draw a card.

11/10/20

Ludevic’s ability checks only if another player lost life during the turn, not whether that player’s life total decreased over the course of the turn. For example, if a player other than Ludevic’s controller lost 2 life and then gained 8 life this turn, the player whose turn it is may draw a card.

11/10/20

Ludevic’s triggered ability will allow the player to draw a card if any player other than Ludevic’s controller, including the player whose turn it is, lost life this turn.

11/10/20

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 any one of them, not from both of them combined.
