10 More Budget Hidden Gems You Should Be Playing in Commander – 6 Path of the Pyromancer

While Path of the Pyromancer does read as a “Jeska’s Will at home”, the Commander: March of the Machine card is a reasonable budget replacement for the Red Commander staple. Sure, you can ignore the Planechase aspect of Path of the Pyromancer, but being able to discard and draw a fresh grip of cards while netting one Red mana for each card discarded this way is a decent rate. While not every Commander list featuring Red will want Path of the Pyromancer, Commanders such as Rielle, the Everwise and Urabrask are definitely interested in the card, as it allows you to chain off a series of spells while also giving you mana to cast even more spells! If you’re after affordable ways to discard, draw, and generate Red mana, Path of the Pyromancer could be for you.
