Rationale

Super Shredder is a 2cmc 1/1 menace legendary that grows a +1/+1 counter whenever ANY permanent leaves the battlefield — including opponents' permanents dying, your own sacrifices, and tokens going poof. This makes it a strong payoff in aristocrats/sacrifice shells where permanents leave constantly, scaling into a menace threat quickly. It's most at home in black sacrifice strategies but also fits counters-voltron as a commander.

Learnings (3)

  • Super Shredder triggers on ANY permanent leaving — including tokens, enchantments, lands, and opponents' permanents — making it far broader than typical aristocrats payoffs that only watch creature deaths.

  • As a 2cmc legendary with menace, Super Shredder can grow extremely large very quickly in a multiplayer game where board wipes or mass sacrifice events happen; a single Farewell-type wipe can add 10+ counters.

  • Because the trigger is not limited to your own permanents, Super Shredder also rewards attrition-based control strategies and benefits passively from opponents trading creatures in combat.
