That and Yuriko are both dickhead cards, imo commander tax is either something you all have or nobody has. First game I played with my Norin deck was against a [[Toggo]] deck and a [[Niv-Mizzet, Parun]] deck. [[Yuriko]] and [[Derevi]] can both cheat the commander tax and thus get pretty resilient. Kruphix, God of Horizons - (G) (SF) (txt) (ER) [[Prossh, Skyraider of Kher]] and [[Marchesa the Black Rose]] are both quite resilient to wraths and can recover very easily.
