Unleashing Ghyrson Starn – The Ultimate Pinger Commander
Ghyrson Starn, Kelermorph is making waves in Commander, and it’s easy to see why! This Genestealer Cult hero brings an electrifying ability to Magic: The Gathering, transforming small, one-damage pings into devastating bursts of power.
As a three-mana blue and red 3/2 with ward 2, Starn offers early-game resilience and an explosive ability—whenever you deal exactly one damage to a permanent or player, Starn adds two extra damage to that target. This means cheap burn spells, pingers, and small creatures suddenly pack a serious punch!
Why Play Ghyrson Starn?
✅ Triple the Damage – Every ping becomes a burn spell!
✅ Resilient Game Plan – Easy to recast and protect with counterspells.
✅ Flexible Build Paths – Go full pinger synergy or low-power creature swarm!
Challenges to Overcome
⚠️ Needs Support – Starn doesn’t trigger his own ability, so you’ll need enablers.
⚠️ Low Toughness – At only two toughness, he’s vulnerable to cheap removal.
How to Build Around Starn
Instead of just using Impact Tremors and Cavalcade of Calamity, the real power lies in a “pingers” deck—stacking creatures and spells that deal 1 damage at a time and turning them into major threats! Cards like Thermo-Alchemist, Guttersnipe, and Electrostatic Field become game-ending powerhouses.
