Another fun way to use the transformed Rona- is having Pingers. Rather than annoying your opponents by stealing cards from their hand, just free cast the high-cost spells in your own by pinging Rona!
Overall I much prefer taking a commander that is preconceived to be toxic and trying it make it fun, like using Tevesh Szat with Keskit (I literally never ult Tevesh), Urza construct tribal, or most recently doing Atraxa tickets.
Yeah and when taking the approach mitch suggested for the front side you easily draw a Spark double or Sakashima and a card to ping to get free spells while using both Ronas
had the same idea with pestilence and pestilence demon for example that's 4 permanents for 4 mana every turn i guess card draw will be crucial for this deck so using the frontside until you have something to ping sounds decent to me
I like the backside of Rona and I think the front works great with the backside because the front gives you card selection while the back if you have pingers for example can ping it yourself to cheat on the mana costs. it doesn't say opponents just source so if you have a pinger you exile a random card from your own hand play it. its really sweet. just a thought thats janky enough you may enjoy.
after playing with her in standard I need to add two cards and one category of cards. Relic of Legends: turns your Rona into a mana producer instead of a looter (also your other legends) Mirror Box: Allows you to use clone token cards. If you make token copies of Rona while using this two cards you basicly build your own mini Paradox Engine which is banned for a reason. And most importantly apperantly you can now flip the copy tokens and get the best of both worlds by flipping some of the tokens. Personally I like using Nightmare Shepherd to get a token after the commander die flip the copy and recast Rona from the command zone. Or just put Stolen Identity on Rona after Mirror Box is in Play and then flip her after you got a token of Rona. That way the dangerous 5/5 trample can go at your opponent and make copies of Rona or safty net copies of Mirror Box. And if it happens to be in your budget you can always use Sakashima of a Thousand Faces instead iof Mirror Box
Since her first card Rona is a pet character for me The first was not good, the 2nd a quite flavour fail in my opinion, but this one forces me to build a commander deck around her Voltron/ self pinger something is the direction and I'm hyped for her
Is it bad that I want this in mind flayers Theft style decks where the focus is steal every thing + to use this to keep getting cards from hand for free XD
Junkies, the Midnight Sky is kind of nice in this too, especially for getting something out of your graveyard. Other graveyard recursion are nice too, like reanimate, etc.,
Do you know what we didn't need in standard? A cheap way of discarding Atraxa into the graveyard. On top of that interaction, smoothing draws, doesn't die to shock (3 toughness), and is a game ending threat on it's own. WotC put down pipe.
The deck is extremely reliant on having rona on board. As soon as you’re opponents figure out what she’s doing, she will become a removal magnet. It’s a bit like tergrid, god of fright. She’s amazing, but good luck keeping her around at all. She’s fantastic in the 99, but building a budget deck like this means running the risk of being way too reliant on the commander. However, she is in the perfect colours for some fantastically fast win-cons that don’t even need her on board, the two colours perfect for tutoring, but that falls more into the category of playing the “stupidly broken expensive stuff that everybody plays”

LETS GOOOO I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR A DIMIR CARDSTEALING COMMANDER LIKE THIS
This card is so sweet! Definitely going to be building a deck around this. I want to self ping Rona with a hand full of big things!
This is going in my ludevic necrogenius deck 100%
Nice!
The card is called "March of the Machines", which differentiates it from this new set name.
The dimir thing is called colour indicator as far as i know
Finally a cool PESTILENCE commander! I love that card from the good old days of kitchentable multiplayer jank party!
I like how the front, she's all serene, but the she transforms, and the back, she's literally stabbing someone with her claw😱😱😱
This is going in my Tasha, the Witch Queen Deck for sure
I've never been excited to build a Dimir deck before...
Play Rona with Pestilence and cast your own spells for free!
You can also damage it yourself and play your own spells for free.
100% where my mind went as well!
Nobody has talked about vultroning this commander...
Since her first card Rona is a pet character for me
The first was not good, the 2nd a quite flavour fail in my opinion, but this one forces me to build a commander deck around her
Voltron/ self pinger something is the direction and I'm hyped for her
Whoo!!!!
Indeed!
Is it bad that I want this in mind flayers Theft style decks where the focus is steal every thing + to use this to keep getting cards from hand for free XD
id like to request a raven man deck tech! been on my radar for awhile seems like he could be interesting.

Oh no Mitch, Rona doesn't say opponent. Rona says ANY SOURCE so if you use Pestilence like cards you can cast your own spells from your hand.
Infinite Combo with Emry, Lurker of the Loch and Mox Amber

You get to play your stuff for free as well with this Commander
Relic of legends
Oskar, Rubbish Reclaimer ohhh so many ideas
How, Rona was killed by Tezzeret at the end of All Will Be One...
Rona, the 0 mana legendary matters artifact, and yawgmoths will wins the game.
Imagine if this had green in it… rofl …. One word, Fight!

She is cheap enough to eat a couple removals without being unplayably expensive.
Damn it, the front side is Human so you can't mutate on it even if the back side is non-Human.
Hullbreaker horror deck >:)
couldn’t you cheat out your own cards by pinging her?
Pestilence
