Best New Cards to Buy From Riveteer Rampage
Plenty of new-to-Commander cards from Riveteer Rampage will make their way into other Commander archetypes and decks.
Rain of Riches
Rain of Riches is one of the strongest cards from New Capenna Commander and it will be used by a variety of decks, like
Galazeth Prismari
Galazeth Prismari
Flying
When Galazeth Prismari enters, create a Treasure token.
Artifacts you control have "{T}: Add one mana of any color. Spend this mana only to cast an instant or sorcery spell."
and Proper, Tome-Bound.
Cascading whenever you use a Treasure token for mana is such a powerful effect with an easy condition to satisfy. But Rain of Riches gets even better when you consider Wizards of the Coast keeps printing new Treasure support like
Bootleggers’ Stash
Bootleggers’ Stash
Lands you control have "{T}: Create a Treasure token."
and
Professional Face-Breaker
Professional Face-Breaker
Menace
Whenever one or more creatures you control deal combat damage to a player, create a Treasure token.
Sacrifice a Treasure: Exile the top card of your library. You may play that card this turn.
Cascade is a busted mechanic in Magic: the Gathering.

Jolene, the Plunder Queen
Treasure tokens went from being a new form of mana ramp to a full-blown MTG archetype. Jolene, Plunder Queen, is a worthy inclusion in any Treasure but you can also build a Commander deck around her.
Jolene works just like
Xorn
Xorn
If you would create one or more Treasure tokens, instead create those tokens plus an additional Treasure token.
in that whenever you would make a Treasure token, she makes additional an Treasure. But she also has some other relevant abilities. Whenever you attack one of your opponents, you make a Treasure token, plus another Treasure because of Jolene’s static ability. You can also use your Treasure to pump up Jolene’s stats.

Protection Racket
Protection Racket is a peculiar form of card advantage, kind of like a reverse
Dark Confidant
Dark Confidant
At the beginning of your upkeep, reveal the top card of your library and put that card into your hand. You lose life equal to its mana value.
. In Commander, you’ll reveal a card to each opponent and they have a decision to make. Either you draw the card or they take damage equal to its mana value.
Because your opponents have the choice as to whether or not you draw the revealed cards, you’ll want to put your opponents in the position where they must give you the revealed card. For that reason, Protection Racket will likely work better in aggressive decks or group slug archetypes.
Best Reprints to Buy From Riveteer Rampage
Riveteer Rampage made several older, more expensive Magic cards more accessible. These are popular Commander cards that are now more affordable for players.
Avenger of Zendikar
Avenger of Zendikar has long been a Commander staple and thus needs periodic reprints or else it gets expensive.
This card is a one-card army, sprouting a garden of Plant tokens and growing them with +1/+1 counters. This Elemental makes an excellent top of the curve threat in many decks, but it is particularly useful in decks with other land synergies, such as
Titania, Protector of Argoth
Titania, Protector of Argoth
When Titania enters, return target land card from your graveyard to the battlefield.
Whenever a land you control is put into a graveyard from the battlefield, create a 5/3 green Elemental creature token.
,
Omnath, Locus of Creation
Omnath, Locus of Creation
When Omnath enters, draw a card.
Landfall — Whenever a land you control enters, you gain 4 life if this is the first time this ability has resolved this turn. If it's the second time, add {R}{G}{W}{U}. If it's the third time, Omnath deals 4 damage to each opponent and each planeswalker you don't control.
, and
Lord Windgrace
Lord Windgrace
+2: Discard a card, then draw a card. If a land card is discarded this way, draw an additional card.
−3: Return up to two target land cards from your graveyard to the battlefield.
−11: Destroy up to six target nonland permanents, then create six 2/2 green Cat Warrior creature tokens with forestwalk.
Lord Windgrace can be your commander.
to name a few.

Temur Sabertooth
Temur Sabertooth facilitates many infinite combos in Magic: the Gathering, but these days it is most known for making infinite mana with
Dockside Extortionist
Dockside Extortionist
When this creature enters, create X Treasure tokens, where X is the number of artifacts and enchantments your opponents control. (Treasure tokens are artifacts with "{T}, Sacrifice this token: Add one mana of any color.")
. For being such a popular and useful combo piece, WOTC has printed Temur Sabertooth very few times, making its appearance in Riveteers Rampage much appreciated.

Twilight Mire
Filter Lands like Twilight Mire are always useful in Commander decks. But Twilight Mire is most prominently used in Modern’s Yawgmoth Combo deck. Because of this, Twilight Mire was about $12.00. But thanks to its reprint in Riveteers Rampage, it is now available for about $6.00.
