Lagrella the Magpie, a versatile and strategic choice for Pauper Commander, has quickly become a favorite among players who enjoy intricate board control and value-based gameplay. Introduced in "Streets of New Capenna," Lagrella is known for her unique ability to temporarily exile creatures when she enters the battlefield, only to return them under her owner's control later. This mechanic, reminiscent of the classic "flicker" strategy, provides opportunities for repeated use of enter-the-battlefield effects (ETBs), making her a perfect commander for a deck built around creature synergies.

Historically, Pauper has been a format where common cards shine through their simplicity and effectiveness. Lagrella, with her ability to blink creatures, opens up a realm of possibilities. By incorporating creatures with powerful ETB effects—such as drawing cards, creating tokens, or gaining life—Lagrella can generate significant value over time. Additionally, by exiling key threats temporarily, she provides a form of soft removal that can disrupt opponents’ plans.

When building a Lagrella Pauper deck, focus on creatures with impactful ETBs, cheap flicker spells to reuse her effect, and protection spells to ensure she remains on the battlefield. The deck thrives on tempo and incremental advantage, making each game a puzzle of resource management and timing.

Magic: The Gathering (MTG) is a popular collectible card game created by Richard Garfield and first released by Wizards of the Coast in 1993. It combines strategy, fantasy, and storytelling in a richly immersive game where players assume the roles of powerful spellcasters known as Planeswalkers. Each player builds a deck of cards representing magical spells, creatures, and artifacts, using them to battle opponents in a competition to reduce their life total to zero. The game is played using a variety of card types including lands which provide mana to cast spells, creatures that are used to attack and defend, and instants and sorceries which produce powerful one-time effects.
