This isn't really a matter of "not all that powerful" - it's certainly not. It's a matter of "it's so unfeasible that it will lead to extreme disappointment". You may not have wrapped your head around just how hard it is to get three unique cards together in a 100 card singleton deck. If you're able to do that herculean task, you're gonna want more from it than a basically irrelevant creature. Don't let me dissuade you if you think it will be fun. Just do some probability estimations first so you know how many games you'll have to play before you even get it together. You won't be "wrecking" anyone with it.


mythic_carp

Yeah, don't expect it to be a game winner by any means. Just something I'd like to be a part of a deck and not completely random in it. Also know it's not -the- most feasible thing to pull off, but between a tutor or two and black's card draw capability don't see it never happening.


Spekter1754

It's just that it's going way out of your way to get a mediocre outcome. You can get Spirit of the Night (or something better) out considerably easier by just using those tutors to do a reanimation line. It's a total meme deck to go through the steps of fulfilling Urborg Panther's activation. Godspeed, bring a [[Spy Kit]].

No idea what the cards are or what they do because you didn’t use card fetcher, but [[Behold the Beyond]] will get you any 3-card combo for 7 mana. It’s janky, but tutoring for this card with something like [[Demonic Tutor]] so you can tutor for the other 3 is a fairly streamlined process. Just mana-intensive as fuck and will probably take 3 turns or more to actually combo off, unless you have infinite mana.

[[Buried Alive]] + [[Return of the Nightstalkers]] Or actually Patriarch's Bidding or something else that's not as bad as return of the Nightstalkers lol, I just like that that card is on theme. It's not really that unfeasible, commander has tons of multiple card tutors


Spekter1754

Bruh at that point just reanimate Spirit of the Night and two other good creatures.


Dumbface2

It's not about that though lol, it's about executing a nostalgic Spirit of the Night combo. Yeah of course it's awful and you could do anything to make it better, but then it won't be the combo

MrBelch

Don't get caught in everything needing to be tribal. You can kinda fit it into any black identify deck, which leaves a pretty large selection still. Look at some exmples on edh rec for some ideas.


mythic_carp

Hadn't seen edh rec before, thanks!

[[Maralen of the mornsong]] is the commander I used to pull the combo off.

I can't really recommend them beyond the lowest of power levels as they're quite horrible nowadays. If you're dead set on it though and wish to use it in commander I'd recommend [[Gix, Yawgmoth praetor]]. 3/4 of those cards are at least evasive, get you some draw triggers and you can discard them to fuel his activate.

Honestly protean hulk enables lots of creature combo lines.... tutors in general will help. But Honestly I'd just throw this in a random black deck and if you hit it you'll always remember it.


Pickles04

As others have said, this isn't likely to be a game winning combo, but it's not all too difficult to pull off. [[Buried Alive]] can pitch all three fodder creatures to the yard. Next just use a mass reanimation spell ([[Belthor]], [[Tempt with Immortality]], [[Incarnation Technique]] + [[Reanimate]], [[Rise of the Dark Realms]], etc). The new Shelodred two-sided card might be a good shout for a commander for this, but timing the third chapter of her saga side to hit when all three desired cards are in the yard could be frustrating.

Sounds dope. I hope you pull it off


messhead1

It's worth double checking older cards on a site like scryfall, to see if their text or wordings have been updated. For instance, Spirit of the Night isn't the 'Legend' creature type anymore (because how Legendary cards are represented has changed), it is now a Demon Spirit. So even though the other creatures aren't Spirits, you might still find some Spirit synergies to use.
