This is your reminder that he is indeed nibbling Gale here (who looks more annoyed than anything).

I want them all to sit together in a dimly lit room, drink whiskey, discuss the geopolitics of leylines for three hours, and have gay sex for the next five.

Today’s recent commander sleeper is from this year’s commander legends set, and is another adventure (told you I had a soft spot for these) and it’s Recurring Nightmare at home! Ok, fine, it’s a very terrible version of recurring nightmare, but Recurring Nightmare is banned in commander, so that’s probably fine.

Altar of Bhaal is a cheap black artifact you can activate for 3 every turn to reanimate any creature from your graveyard. While it will cost you one of your existing creatures, and with an exile to avoid being able to loop a couple creatures easily across turns, it will gladly accept being fed a token every turn for constant reanimation.

The closest thing legal in Commander is probably something like Whisper (that needs two creatures) or Hell’s Caretaker, but both are fragile creatures that need to wait a turn to do their thing. This can function immediately if you have five mana and is a bit harder to remove, while still providing a lot of value.

The sorcery half is also there, a 4/1 Menace for 3 isn’t the worst deal ever, it’ll definitely get some damage in if you need it.

Overall, if your deck wants reanimation and has disposable token or nontoken bodies to spare, give this card a try for just a quarter!

Look at what I've been working on! It's a list of every single queer characters in Magic the Gathering!

It originally started out as just a list of characters from Magic's lore, both ones with cards and a small list of the named characters who have appeared in the stories but don't have cards. I mostly focused on characters that are unambiguously and canonically queer...so no Xantcha or Karn nor did I include any of the aetherborn. I plan to eventually update the story only characters section with links to whatever online stories they appear in.

But I thought why stop there? I used the Wayback Machine to dig up the old Twitter thread talking about all the queer characters from Commander Legends: Battle for Baldur's Gate and screenshot it for posterity. By then, I was on a role, so I continued with the Universes Beyond characters.

For that, I delved into wikis to try and dig up as much as I could, especially for IP I'm not familiar with, like Fallout or Transformers (which I specifically used the IDW continuity for because that's the one I'm familiar with others talking about.) I generally included labels whenever I knew for certain what they were, and did try and double check wiki pages to make sure. The Baldur's Gate characters who can be romanced regardless of gender were labeled pansexual in the D&D section so I used that as the label for romancable Fallout characters that can be romanced by any gender.

Let me know what you think, and if there's a character I missed in any section just let me know so I can update the list! I plan to keep this updated over time as new characters get added.
