A legendary figure from Dominaria, Sidar Jabari is more than just a warrior—he’s a tactician, a leader, and a force to be reckoned with. He played a pivotal role in defeating Kaervek during the Mirage Wars and later joined the fight against New Phyrexia with his loyal knights. Now, he’s ready to take command of your next MTG Commander deck.
Why Play Sidar Jabari?
As a 4/3 with flying and first strike, Sidar brings both evasion and power to the battlefield. His abilities let you:
✔ Draw and discard when attacking with knights, improving card quality
✔ Reanimate fallen knights when he deals combat damage, bringing key creatures back for free
This flexibility makes him perfect for a Knight tribal deck while also letting you filter cards and set up graveyard synergies.
Weaknesses
⚠ Low toughness (3) – Vulnerable to common removal spells like Lightning Bolt
⚠ Needs to connect with an opponent – To reanimate knights, he must deal combat damage
Solution? Equip him with cards like Whispersilk Cloak for protection and unblockable attacks or use counterspells and buffs to keep him on the battlefield.
While some may try a Control build, Sidar truly shines in a Knight tribal strategy with strong discard and reanimation synergies. Lean into:
⚔ Aggressive knight attacks for consistent card advantage
⚔ Graveyard recursion to keep your board presence strong
⚔ Equipment and protection spells to make Sidar unstoppable
