Best New Cards to Buy From Cabaretti Cacophony
The new-to-Commander cards from New Capenna are on a whole new power level. Cabaretti Cacophony has multiple cards that have the potential to become archetype and format staples.
Grand Crescendo
This card will easily become a Commander staple. Grand Crescendo is a lot like
Heroic Intervention
Heroic Intervention
Permanents you control gain hexproof and indestructible until end of turn.
, in that you can play for two mana at instant speed to give your creatures indestructible, saving them from opposing board wipes.
But you can also pump excess mana into Grand Crescendo and make a bunch of Citizen tokens to start pressuring your opponents.

Seize the Spotlight
This card ranges between a triple-
Threaten
Threaten
Untap target creature and gain control of it until end of turn. That creature gains haste until end of turn. (It can attack and {T} this turn.)
and a zero-mana draw three. Whether you’re taking your opponents’ creatures or drawing cards, Seize the Spotlight packs a lot of value for its upfront cost of three mana.
But this card gets even better when played in certain strategies like
Korvold, Fae-Cursed King
Korvold, Fae-Cursed King
Flying
Whenever Korvold enters or attacks, sacrifice another permanent.
Whenever you sacrifice a permanent, put a +1/+1 counter on Korvold and draw a card.

Extus, Oriq Overlord

Double strike
Magecraft — Whenever you cast or copy an instant or sorcery spell, return target nonlegendary creature card from your graveyard to your hand.
, or
Marchesa, the Black Rose
Marchesa, the Black Rose
Dethrone (Whenever this creature attacks the player with the most life or tied for most life, put a +1/+1 counter on it.)
Other creatures you control have dethrone.
Whenever a creature you control with a +1/+1 counter on it dies, return that card to the battlefield under your control at the beginning of the next end step.
which actively try to sacrifice creatures. That way, when you take one of your opponents’ creatures with Seize the Spotlight, you can sacrifice it rather than give it back to your opponent at the end of the turn.

Life of the Party
This is a strange card. But Life of the Party is perfect for players who like chaos and politics in their Commander games.
When you play Life of the Party, each of your opponents will create a copy of the festive Elemental. But those creatures come with a caveat; they are goaded, meaning they must attack each turn, but can’t attack you.
Prosperous Partnership
Prosperous Partnership works well in any Commander deck that has extra creatures lying around, as you can use them to make Treasure tokens.
This card even has infinite combo potential. Here’s one: Jinnie Fae, Jetmir’s Second +
Academy Manufactor
Academy Manufactor
If you would create a Clue, Food, or Treasure token, instead create one of each.
+ Prosperous Partnership = infinite tapped creatures. You can throw a
Terror of the Peaks
Terror of the Peaks
Flying
Spells your opponents cast that target this creature cost an additional 3 life to cast.
Whenever another creature you control enters, this creature deals damage equal to that creature's power to any target.

{W}, {T}, Untap a tapped creature you control: Create a 1/1 green and white Citizen creature token.
{W}{W}, {T}, Untap two tapped creatures you control: Draw a card.
{W}{W}{W}{W}{W}, {T}, Untap fifteen tapped creatures you control: You win the game.
into the mix to win the game on the spot.

Idol of Oblivion
This is one of those cards that needs frequent reprints otherwise it starts to creep up in price. Idol of Oblivion synergizes well with any commander that makes tokens. It’s a no-brainer inclusion in dedicated token decks like
Rhys the Redeemed
Rhys the Redeemed
{2}{G/W}, {T}: Create a 1/1 green and white Elf Warrior creature token.
{4}{G/W}{G/W}, {T}: For each creature token you control, create a token that's a copy of that creature.
. But even commanders that coincidentally make tokens, like
Magda, Brazen Outlaw
Magda, Brazen Outlaw
Other Dwarves you control get +1/+0.
Whenever a Dwarf you control becomes tapped, create a Treasure token.
Sacrifice five Treasures: Search your library for an artifact or Dragon card, put that card onto the battlefield, then shuffle.
, will make use of Idol’s card-drawing ability.

Rugged Prairie
Including filter lands such as Rugged Prairie is a step in the right direction in improving the mana bases of preconstructed Commander decks. Rugged Prairie is always a worthwhile inclusion in any red-white Commander deck.
