Splinter, the Mentor
Oracle Text
Menace
Whenever Splinter or another nontoken creature you control leaves the battlefield, create a Mutagen token.
Partner—Character select (You can have two commanders if both have this ability.)
Card Details
Mana CostCharacter Background
Splinter, the Mentor reads like a patient master who turns every loss into training: a 2/2 menace commander for only {1}{B} that fits best in a value-oriented sacrifice or attrition shell. His trigger rewards any nontoken creature you control leaving the battlefield, so your game plan should lean into tempo-positive sacrifice, blink, and recursive creatures rather than brute force combat. Pair him with another Character select commander that either produces expendable bodies or benefits from tokens, and the Mutagen tokens become steady material for board presence, sacrifice outlets, or anthem effects. In practice, cards that repeatedly return creatures, sacrifice themselves for value, or die profitably will keep the engine humming; even simple fodder like token makers won’t trigger him directly, but they can protect your real pieces while you convert departures into resources. Menace also makes Splinter a credible chip-damage threat, forcing awkward blocks while your engine accrues advantage.
