Oracle Text
Commander creatures you own have "Whenever this creature attacks a player, if no opponent has more life than that player, put a +1/+1 counter on this creature. It gains deathtouch and indestructible until end of turn."
Card Details
Mana CostCharacter Background
Agent of the Shadow Thieves is a sneaky Background that turns your commander into a ruthless finisher once the table’s life totals start to line up. Best suited for an aggressive value or tempo plan, it rewards attacking the player who is not ahead on life, turning each clean swing into a permanent growth engine while also handing out deathtouch and indestructible for the turn. That makes combat math miserable for opponents, since blocking becomes risky and removal in combat often fails. It pairs especially well with commanders that want to attack repeatedly or already have evasion, like low-cost Voltron leaders or menace/flying commanders, and it gets nastier with double strike or extra-combat effects because every attack trigger becomes more threatening. In deckbuilding, prioritize life-total manipulation, combat protection, and ways to ensure your commander can safely connect, since this Background is at its best when you can keep pressing the same life-total advantage turn after turn.
