Then we have Kess, Dissident Mage, a heck of a card that deserves all the attention it gets and the top dog of Grixis commanders
UR Ultra Rare Golden Rule X SPELL Equip (This card is always treated as a "Crystal" card.) Place 2 "Crystal Beast" monsters from your Deck face-up in your Spell & Trap Zone as Continuous Spells, then Special Summon 1 "Crystal Beast" monster from your hand or GY with a different name than those cards, and if you do, equip it with this card
So if youre not overloading your opponent with them, theres virtually no way something like Thing in the Ice or Jace, Vryns Prodigy or any other cheap creature is going to survive if its your only target
It comes with 6 Foil Borderless Scene Cards, 6 Art Cards, 3 Play Boosters, and 1 Display Easel
The first is a triggered ability: "When this permanent enters, target player may search their library for a card named [name], reveal it, put it into their hand, then shuffle." Note that the target player searches their library (which may be affected by effects such as that of Stranglehold) and that the card they find is revealed, even though these words aren't included in the ability's reminder text
As a game plan its still slow and vulnerable to disruption, but the additional payoff of clue tokens means youre pulling ahead on resources by attacking even if you havent managed to finish anybody off yet
