To set the scene, I've started playing Commander fairly regularly at my LGS with a friend I met there last year. In this game, he was playing his owyn, Shieldmaiden deck, and the other two players consisted of a guy relatively new to Magic and someone that my friend and I have had a good time playing with in previous weeks. The former was playing a Thrun, Breaker of Silence Voltron deck, and the latter was playing Niv-Mizzet, Guildpact deck that mostly used all of those cool hybrid coloured Auras from the Lorwyn block. I was playing a Nikara, Lair Scavenger//Yannik, Scavenging Sentinel deck which is all about using a lot of creature-based blink effects to make the Hyena eat my creatures and spread around an ungodly amount of counters to then turn those sideways for the win.
