mtg commander deck guide Starter Decks: Complete Don't Worry, Building A Commander

To me Body Count feels like fixed version of Lilianas Standard Bearer and if youre already on the aristocrat, extort, lifedrain or sacrifice gameplan, being able to draw cards at instant speed for 1 mana is quite high value
