Today's Lightly Played is... Unstable Glyphbridge! Commander has a lot of 5 mana board wipes, but few have the same value as this card. Clear the battlefield, then craft with artifact and force your opponents to play by your rules!

You only have to play this card once in your playgroup in order to foster the fear of split second removal. After that, as long as you have 4 mana open you will be keeping your opponents guessing as to whether or not it's worth attacking you. :)

Today's Lightly Played is... V.A.T.S! Tired of playing against Heroic Intervention and Teferi's Protection? 4 mana is a high cost for creature removal, but instant speed and split second mean that you will always hit your targets!

Today's Lightly Played is... Green Slime! This is a great way to deal with equipment. Very few people play this card, so foretell it early and watch your opponents try to play around every other staple foretell card in the format!

Today's Lightly Played is... Starlight Spectacular! A must have for any "go wide" creature deck. Line your team up in a parade, then wait for your opponent to say "can I read that again?" as your 1/1s transform into 7/7s and 8/8s!

Today's Lightly Played is... Anzrag's Rampage! It's a budget overloaded Vandalblast plus you get a free creature. The specific wording of the spell ("this turn") means that artifacts sacrificed while it is on the stack still count!

Today's Lightly Played is... Barrier Breach! Unlike other enchantment removal, this spell will send your opponent's Rhystic Study and Smothering Tithe into exile (where they belong). No targets? Cycle it away for something better!

Today's Lightly Played is... Uchuulon! Or should we say two-chuulon? You don't need a horror themed deck for this card's graveyard hate ability to shine. Watch your opponents waste their removal on copies as your board multiplies!

Today's Lightly Played is... Mandate of Peace! At first this might just look like another way to prevent combat damage. However its real power is preventing combat abilities. Let their attack triggers pile up, then exile the stack!

Definitely! This is an all-star in my Amalia/Lurrus deck.

Today's Lightly Played is... Spectrum Sentinel! Play this on turn 1 and soak up the life gain from your opponent's greedy mana base. The protection from multicolored will dissuade people from attacking while you develop your board.

Our goal at Lightly Played is to highlight the best cards that are being overlooked by most Magic: The Gathering players. If you are tired of having the same old staples in the 99 of your commander deck, then maybe you should try something lightly played instead!
