Akroma's Memorial (Card Overview):

• Set: Originally printed in Mirrodin (2003) and reprinted in several subsequent sets, including Commander and other special sets.

• Text: "Akroma's Memorial" is an artifact that gives all of your creatures the following abilities:

  • Vigilance
  • Trample
  • Haste
  • Protection from black
  • First Strike
  • Flying

  This effect is globally applied to all creatures you control, making it a fantastic card for aggro strategies and large-scale creature-based decks. It turns your creatures into formidable threats with various keywords that enhance their combat abilities.

• Flavor Text: "Akroma, Angel of Wrath" is a beloved and iconic creature in the lore of Magic: The Gathering, and Akroma's Memorial is tied thematically to the idea of creating an artifact that embodies her powers. The memorial gives all your creatures the abilities that reflect Akroma’s own strength and battle prowess.

Why It's So Powerful:

• Global Buff: The artifact gives your entire creature base multiple key abilities, turning any deck with creatures into an absolute powerhouse. Having Vigilance, Trample, Haste, and Flying is amazing for offense and defense.
• Commander Play: It’s especially popular in Commander, where its powerful global effect can lead to overwhelming board states. Many Commander decks, especially those focused on creatures and combat, love including this card.
