Saga builds within the MTG Commander format began to flourish with the addition of Tom Bombadil from Lord of the Rings: Tales of Middle-earth. A year after the release of LTR, Wizards of the Coast has designed another powerful Saga-themed Commander card via the Universes Beyond Assassin's Creed set in Sigurd, Jarl of Ravensthorpe.
The Legendary Sigurd, Jarl of Ravensthorpe is a three-drop 3/3 with Vigilance, Trample, and Lifelink in the MTG color Naya. The stats and keyword abilities on the Human Warrior are enough to make the Legendary playable in any creature commander deck. Sigurd, Jarl of Ravensthorpe is much more than a solid three-drop creature, though, with the MTG mechanics Boast and +1/+1 countersynergy.
Sigurd, Jarl of Ravensthorpe from MTG Assassin's Creed fits right into Tom Bombadil Commander decks. Tom Bombadil thrives on Lore counters, with Sigurd ensuring they keep using Sagas via Boast. And when a Saga needs to end, Tom Bombadil pulls a new Saga from your library and puts it straight onto the battlefield, with Sigurd potentially adding a Lore counter to target a specific ability and reactivate Bombadil's first ability.
