# Lynde, Cheerful Tormentor Lynde represents a rare case of a commander that genuinely rewards the sacrifice-and-recursion strategy without demanding an entirely dedicated deck. Collectors appreciate her because she fills a specific niche: she's a Witchcraft-themed leader that encourages creative deckbuilding around curses and token generation rather than forcing players into narrow archetypes. The mythic rarity from a commander-focused set means limited print runs compared to standard sets. Most collectors view her as a solid commander option rather than a chase card, making her accessible without feeling common. Her nonfoil printing remains the standard version, with foil variants commanding modest premiums among players who prioritize aesthetics for their 99-card decks.
