Feldon of the Third Path

Mana value3EDHREC#1,401

The Commander

{2}{R}, {T}: Create a token that's a copy of target creature card in your graveyard, except it's an artifact in addition to its other types. It gains haste. Sacrifice it at the beginning of the next end step.

Guide

Gameplan

Feldon turns your graveyard into a recurring engine: dump big creatures with enters/leaves triggers, then tap Feldon each turn to make a hasty artifact copy that attacks or triggers ETBs before sacrificing itself at end step. You win by snowballing value—dropping bombs into the yard early, then copying the best target every turn while protecting Feldon and finding ways to keep or untap him for extra activations.

Strengths

  • Repeatable creature recursion in mono-red, a color starved for it
  • ETB/attack value engines (Inferno Titan, Solemn Simulacrum, etc.) every turn
  • Hasty copies attack immediately, dodging summoning sickness
  • Can blink/copy your own dying creatures for sacrifice synergies
  • Cheap commander at 3 mana that comes down early

Weaknesses

  • Copies are sacrificed each end step, so no permanent board presence
  • Heavily reliant on Feldon staying alive—single removal shuts off the engine
  • Mono-red lacks tutors and card advantage outside of impulse draw
  • Needs creatures already in the graveyard to function
  • One activation per turn unless you untap or copy him

Key Cards

  • Inferno TitanA copy each turn pings down boards and faces, then bashes for six with haste.
  • Combat CelebrantCopy it, exert for an extra combat, then swing again for explosive damage.
  • Wurmcoil EngineHasty 6/6 lifelink-deathtouch attacker that's a prime self-mill/reanimation target.
  • Thornbite StaffUntaps Feldon whenever a creature dies, letting you copy and sacrifice for infinite/extra activations.
  • Faldorn, Dread Wolf HeraldBuilds an alternate sac-copy engine and pressures opponents alongside Feldon.
  • Buried AliveStuffs three perfect copy targets straight into your graveyard for value next turn.

Upgrade Path

Add self-mill and yard-fillers (Faithless Looting, Stitcher's Supplier, Buried Alive) to enable Feldon turn after turn, plus protection like Lightning Greaves and ways to untap him such as Thornbite Staff or Magewright's Stone. Lean into a clear payoff package—either go-wide aristocrats with sac payoffs or a tight Combat Celebrant/Thornbite combo line—and include rituals like Jeska's Will and Mana Geyser to power out multiple activations and big reanimation targets in a single turn.
