Commander Ledros is the kind of card that forces your opponent to rethink every play they had lined up.
Coming out of Shadow Isles in Riftbound, this 6-cost, 8-power Spirit is a finisher with a built-in cost cheat mechanic — one that punishes anyone leaving their board vulnerable.
In a set full of aggressive swarms, tempo swings, and value grinds, Ledros offers something more ruthless: turning your own fallen allies into a discount on an already massive body.
Gameplay / Cool Mechanics
When you play Commander Ledros, you can kill any number of your own friendly units as an extra cost, reducing Ledros’s cost by 1 for each sacrificed.
In a Shadow Isles shell that’s already running death synergies, this is absurdly easy to set up.
Tokens, spent utility units, or pieces you were planning to recycle anyway all become a resource to slam down Ledros earlier than your opponent is ready for.
The 8 power means it’s a threat on its own, but the keywords make it even nastier.
Deflect forces opponents to pay an extra resource just to target Ledros with spells or abilities, making removal less efficient and sometimes outright impossible on curve.
Ganking gives it battlefield mobility — the ability to reposition from one battlefield to another — which can be critical for swinging momentum in multi-lane scenarios.
Together, these make Ledros not just hard to remove but also a flexible attacker and defender in the same game.
Visuals
The artwork by Six More Vodka captures everything you’d expect from a Shadow Isles legend — spectral armor, an eerie green glow, and a skeletal visage that radiates dread.
The wisps of ghostly energy curling from his form give the sense that Ledros isn’t entirely tethered to this plane.
Pull Rate & Value Speculation
Commander Ledros is card 231/298 in the OGN set. No alt art or overnumbered confirmation yet, but its kit screams late-game bomb for control and midrange decks.
If death-synergy decks dominate, this could easily be a chase rare or mythic, with foil versions particularly desirable for the ghostly green glow effect.
