Wilfred Mott

Legendary Creature — Human Soldier

Look to the Stars — At the beginning of your upkeep, put a time counter on Wilfred Mott. Then look at the top X cards of your library, where X is the number of time counters on Wilfred Mott. You may put a nonland permanent card with mana value 3 or less from among them onto the battlefield. Put the rest on the bottom of your library in a random order.

How this commander wants to play

Wilfred Mott is a patient value engine that grows stronger every turn. Each upkeep, he accumulates time counters and lets you peek deeper into your library, tutoring out cheap permanents for free. This turns your deck into a toolbox where you're always finding exactly what you need—whether that's mana acceleration, removal, creatures, or combo pieces. The key is building around permanents that cost three mana or less, making every card you tutor actually matter.

Your game plan is to protect Wilfred while he ticks up, then spend the mid-game flooding the board with tutored threats and utility pieces. By turns 6–8, you're consistently finding multiple cards per turn cycle. Win through a combination of card advantage, synergistic permanents, and eventual combat damage or a tutored finisher. The deck naturally plays a grindy midrange game where you're never short on resources.

Skip pricey tutors like Enlightened Tutor; use Serum Visions and Improbable Alliance instead, and lean on mana dorks like Llanowar Elves and Avacyn's Pilgrim for cheap ramp.
