Much has happened since last week, where details dropped on The Lord of the Rings: Tales of Middle-earth Holiday Release, The Lost Caverns of Ixalan, and Ravnica Remastered, where each of these releases hopes to bring excitement and nostalgia to Magic. With notable reprints such as The One Ring, Cavern of Souls, and the Ravnica Shock Lands coming soon, it’ll allow many Magic players to pick up desirable staples for a reasonable price.

That aside, the World Magic Championships XXIX occurred over the weekend, where Standard was in the spotlight and highlighted an array of Wilds of Eldraine cards. With Jean-Emmanuel Depraz becoming Magic’s World Champion with the powerful Esper Legends, there could be some movement on some existing Standard staples such as Raffine, Scheming Seer, Atraxa, Grand Unifier, and even Lord Skitter, Sewer King from Wilds of Eldraine as these cards were the biggest winners from the high-profile event.

Magic World Championships aside, Wilds of Eldraine remains an popular release amongst players as many of the cards continue to be affordable, with interest in the impressive Enchanting Tales bonus sheet remaining strong. Let’s dig in.

10 Eriette of the Charmed Apple

Eriette of the Charmed Apple remains the hottest Commander from Wilds of Eldraine due to her unique ability to Group Hug as a Commander through Enchantment Auras. Since the reveal of Eriette, numerous “Aura and Enchantment Matters” cards such as Ondu Spiritdancer, Ghoulish Impetus, and Xenk, Paladin Unbroken from the D&D Secret Lair have all spiked as of late due to amazing synergy with the Human Warlock.
While we’re inundated with Enchantment-focused Commanders with Anikthea, Hand of Erebos and Ellivere of the Wild Court as of late, Eriette of the Charmed Apple is another exciting option that can be built on a budget thanks to the amount of depth in Wilds of Eldraine, especially with the introduction of Role tokens. Another exciting aspect if you own the Enduring Enchantments Precon, is that you can break this apart to build an Eriette of the Charmed Apple strategy due to the amount of crossover between the two Commanders, where it allows you to play Enchantments differently with color restrictions.
