Sir Shandlar of Eberyn puts a 2/2 first-strike body on the board while simultaneously granting first strike to every other creature you control — a static anthem effect stapled to a threat. The cost is a three-mana investment in a creature that dies to any removal spell, taking the anthem with it.

Sir Shandlar of Eberyn is a vintage-design creature from the original Legends set, legal in Commander, Legacy, Vintage, Pauper, and Oathbreaker. In Commander it slots into go-wide white or Naya creature decks that want combat tricks baked into the board — first strike across your whole team makes blocks unfavorable for opponents and shrinks the threat of double-blocks. Legacy and Vintage have no meaningful home for a three-mana 2/2 with no immediate card advantage in formats defined by efficiency. Pauper legality is a quirk of its old common printing, but creature-based aggro there can find better anthem effects at the same cost.
