Silverquill Statement is a political black and white deck released as a part of Commander 2021. The deck has multiple, new-to-the-game cards that work in a variety of decks. It also gave some cards some much-needed reprints, bringing them down to more affordable prices. But you don’t have to buy the entire deck for $40.00. You can just get single cards instead, and I’ve rounded up the best of them for you in this article.
Check out the best singles from the other Commander 2021 decks:

Cunning Rhetoric
Wizards of the Coast 
Wizards of the Coast
There’s a long line of MTG enchantments that are designed to dissuade your opponents from attacking you.
Propaganda

and
Ghostly Prison

Creatures can't attack you unless their controller pays {2} for each creature they control that's attacking you.
are some of the most popular and are heavily played in Commander.
Well, Cunning Rhetoric is an interesting spin on these classic Commander enchantments. It doesn’t make it more difficult to attack you as Propaganda does. But Cunning Rhetoric does gain you card advantage whenever your opponents attack you.

Inkshield
Wizards of the Coast 
Wizards of the Coast
There are a plethora of infinite combos in Commander. Let’s say one of your opponents plays
Village Bellringer
Village Bellringer
Flash (You may cast this spell any time you could cast an instant.)
When this creature enters, untap all creatures you control.
into
Kiki-Jiki Mirror Breaker
Kiki-Jiki Mirror Breaker
Haste
{T}: Create a token that's a copy of target nonlegendary creature you control, except it has haste. Sacrifice it at the beginning of the next end step.
to make infinite attackers, or attempts to take infinite combat steps with
Godo, Bandit Warlord
Godo, Bandit Warlord
When Godo enters, you may search your library for an Equipment card, put it onto the battlefield, then shuffle.
Whenever Godo attacks for the first time each turn, untap it and all Samurai you control. After this phase, there is an additional combat phase.
and Helm of the Hosts.
Cast Inkshield before damage happens, and not only will you survive, but you’ll make a bunch of flying Inkling tokens too. In the case of facing down infinite attackers, you’ll actually win. As you’ll take no damage and make infinite Inklings to clean up the game when it comes around to your turn.

Stinging Study
Wizards of the Coast 
Wizards of the Coast
Depending on your Commander, Stinging Study has the potential to draw a ton of cards. It’s definitely worth considering when playing any Commander with a high casting cost such as
K’rrik, Son of Yawgmoth
K’rrik, Son of Yawgmoth
({B/P} can be paid with either {B} or 2 life.)
Lifelink
For each {B} in a cost, you may pay 2 life rather than pay that mana.
Whenever you cast a black spell, put a +1/+1 counter on K'rrik.
, or
Toxrill, the Corrosive
Toxrill, the Corrosive
At the beginning of each end step, put a slime counter on each creature you don't control.
Creatures you don't control get -1/-1 for each slime counter on them.
Whenever a creature you don't control with a slime counter on it dies, create a 1/1 black Slug creature token.
{U}{B}, Sacrifice a Slug: Draw a card.
. At that point, Stinging Study is drawing 7 cards at instant speed.
Perhaps the best Commander to play this in combination with is
Vilis, Broker of Blood
Vilis, Broker of Blood
Flying
{B}, Pay 2 life: Target creature gets -1/-1 until end of turn.
Whenever you lose life, draw that many cards. (Damage causes loss of life.)
. If you cast Stinging Study with Vilis on the field, you’ll draw 8 cards per the mana value of your Commander, and 8 more cards via Vilis’s ability in response to the life loss from Stinging Study. That’s drawing a total of 16 cards!

Best Reprints to Buy From Silverquill Statement
Curse of Disturbance
Curses are a particularly political type of MTG card. They essentially incentivize everyone to target the cursed player. In the case of Curse of Disturbance, everyone will want to gang up on the cursed player because they’ll receive a 2/2 Zombie token for attacking them. But you’ll always come out ahead on this scheme since you’ll get a Zombie no matter who’s attacking the cursed player.
RELATED: This is also the perfect card for the new Curse Commander,
Lynde, Cheerful Tormentor
Lynde, Cheerful Tormentor
Deathtouch
Whenever a Curse is put into your graveyard from the battlefield, return it to the battlefield attached to you at the beginning of the next end step.
At the beginning of your upkeep, you may attach a Curse attached to you to one of your opponents. If you do, draw two cards.
.
Deathbringer Liege
Deathbringer Liege is a killing machine. In a dedicated Orzhov deck (white + black), every spell you cast will either tap your opponent’s creatures down or destroy them. And as an added bonus, Deathbringer Liege will buff the rest of your squad.
Believe it or not, this card used to be $11.00. That’s because it was only printed once in the Eventide from the original Lorowyn block back in 2008. Thanks to its reprint in Silverquill Statement, now you can pick up Deathbringer Liege for less than $1.00.
