About Ikra Shidiqi, the Usurper

Ikra Shidiqi, the Usurper, Legendary creature — snake wizard, designed by Josu Hernaiz first released in Nov, 2016 in the set Commander 2016 and was printed exactly in 6 different ways. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of ₱ 203.68.

Ikra Shidiqi, the Usurper would be a great addition to a Golgari (black-green) commander deck focused on lifegain and combat damage strategies, especially when paired with another partner commander to expand the deck's options. This card synergizes well with high-toughness creatures that can deal consistent combat damage, allowing you to gain substantial life in the process. However, there are potentially better options like Tymna the Weaver, who provides card draw in addition to lifegain, making her a more versatile choice for commander decks looking to capitalize on combat damage triggers. Overall, Ikra Shidiqi could see play in specific lifegain-focused decks, but other partner commanders may offer more well-rounded benefits.

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

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.

11/10/20

The amount of life you gain is determined as Ikra Shidiqi’s triggered ability resolves. If that creature is no longer on the battlefield, use its toughness as it last existed on the battlefield to determine how much life to gain.
