Copying targeted spells, punishing artifact-heavy mana bases, and growing into an overwhelming flying behemoth make Fin Fang Foom from Marvel Super Heroes (MSH) an explosive Mono-Red commander in Magic: The Gathering.
As a 3/5 Alien Dragon Villain with Flying costing four mana (), Fin Fang Foom copies any instant or sorcery spell you cast that targets an artifact or land. Additionally, whenever this trigger occurs, you put two +1/+1 counters on Fin Fang Foom, allowing him to rapidly accumulate stats while wiping out opposing permanents.
Here is the strategic operational blueprint of Moxfield’s premier Fin Fang Foom list, detailing how to utilize cheap targeted removal, multiply spell copies, grow your dragon commander, and annihilate opponents via lethal commander damage.
1. Core Mechanics & Strategic Phases
Dominating with Fin Fang Foom requires low-cost targeted artifact and land interaction, spell duplication payoffs, haste enablers, and Voltron finishers.
-
Early Game (Turns 1–3): Lay down fast mana acceleration like Sol Ring, Ruby Medallion, and targeted utility spells like Abrade or Liquimetal Torque.
-
Mid Game (Turns 4–5): Cast Fin Fang Foom. Turn opponent mana rocks into targets using low-cost spells like Smelt, Shatter, or Chaos Warp, copying each spell to destroy two targets while pumping Fin Fang Foom by +2/+2 per cast.
-
Late Game (Turns 6+): Grant Fin Fang Foom haste and evasion using Lightning Greaves or Chandra’s Ignition. Cast massive targeted sweeps or double-strike spells like Temur Battle Rage to deal 21+ commander damage in a single flying strike.
