While the burn damage isn't ideal, you start with so much life in Commander that this is hardly a downside
I wouldnt fault anyone for running Warhammer, but Shadowspear certainly modernized the design, lowering the cost to cast and equip and added in a ridiculous activated ability that gets around hexproof and indestructible that no one remembers until its too late
There are several reasons why this card has such a high value: Nostalgia : Generations grew up with this Charizard as the ultimate card Rarity : There are extremely few copies in perfect condition (PSA 10) Supply and demand : Everyone wants it, but almost no one has it Historical Importance : It's the card that made the Pokmon TCG a million-dollar market How much did this card sell for
It's best to drop Balmor when youve already got a decent board and just accelerate over the top, but the card is also cheap enough to withstand a few trips to the command zone if needed
I think you probably want at least a dozen solid targets in your Type 4 stack to make this worthwhile, but judging by the quality of just the few I mentioned I think this card should be very strong and find a home in most Type 4 stacks in the future
