Strategy

How this commander wants to play

Impossible Man is a flexible shapeshifter that turns blue mana into temporary copies of your best permanents. Every turn, you can pivot him into whatever your board needs most—a mana rock, a value creature, a key artifact, or even an opponent's threat. The core gameplan revolves around repeatability: you'll spend {2}{U} to copy high-impact permanents turn after turn, generating incremental advantage while keeping a flying blocker in reserve. Since he's a 1/4 flyer, he's naturally defensive early, letting you stall while copying threats into resources. You win by converting cheap, repeatable copying into a tempo or resource advantage that snowballs into combat damage or commander damage once you've copied enough threats.

Same gameplan, less money

Skip the pricey Infinity Stones; instead use budget mana rocks like Coldsteel Heart, Sky Diamond, and basic utility artifacts like Saprolling Heap to maximize copy targets.
