Avatar: The Last Airbender — The Avatar State

Commanded by Aang, the Last Airbender, this four-colour (white/blue/red/green) 100-Card Commander Deck is about apprenticeship. Four peoples, four disciplines, and one rule across the whole set: a bending technique is not something you buy, it is something someone taught you. The war took the masters first, and the deck makes you feel it — removing one creature can silence several cards in your hand.

• Bending: fifteen cards can't be cast unless you control a master of their element — an Airbender, a Waterbender, a Firebender or an Earthbender. Five untapped lands of the right colour are not enough; the mana was never what stopped you, the teacher was. Lose Katara and Ice Prison, Healing Waters and The Siege of the North wait in your hand. Guru Pathik and Master Pakku hand out bender types, Ty Lee and Energybending take them away, and Sokka, Suki, Mai and Master Piandao will never have one.
• The Avatar State: five Avatars carry it. For {2}{W}{U}{R}{G}, once on your turn, the creature gets +7/+7, flying, trample, haste and vigilance, and becomes all four benders at once — every gated card in your hand goes live. If it dies or is exiled in that state, it is exiled and can never be cast again, not even from the command zone. The cycle is broken. You decide whether the turn is worth the man.
• Aang learns: he starts as an Airbender only; each time he attacks he takes a mastery counter and adds Water, Fire or Earth for as long as he stays on the battlefield.

Why Four Colours

The colours are the disciplines, one each: Air is white, a monastic order with no army and no borders; Water is blue, adaptation and the tide; Fire is red, an industrial empire that has been winning for a century; Earth is green, stubbornness and a wall two million people live behind. There is no black, and that is the claim of the set: nobody here is beyond saving. If your own spell would destroy Fire Lord Ozai, he loses his bending and becomes a 1/1 instead. Fifteen cards are gated, and thirty-one more read the gate.
