Are we talking about applications in burn? Because there aren't any.

If all we are ever likely to use it for is Skullcrack mode, we may as well just play Skullcrack and not deal with more spells needing green mana.

The card is great, even if it's not THE reason to splash green in Modern Burn.

Saying there are no applications in Modern when the deck already runs Skullcrack and Stomping Ground is just imbecilic. Even if it doesn't work out, the application is obvious. but Jack is nothing if not an imbecile

Atarkar's command is a strict upgrade to flames of the bloodhand. All the sensible burn players are playing Naya anyway. Will see play in modern.

Outside chance of being maindeckable in Green devotion decks. The ramp affect is mediocre, but the anthem affect is actually nice as a why for them to not get destroyed by mantis rider and generally is actually pretty decent with all the manadorks the deck plays.

Atarka's Command is clearly better than skullcrack because it circumvents leyline of can't touch me (EACH opponent), and if the opponent is not gaining life you can just choose 3 to the face + pump my team that can represent a lot of damage especially with swiftspear. The only concern i have is that right now i only splashed green for sideboard revelries (1 stomping ground) and i don't like the idea of going full 3 color because fetching sacred foundry + stomping ground every game can make you lose races.

Atarka's command might be better then oujatais command. It's cheaper, the parts of the card work better together, and DAMAGE.

Atarka's command can slot into red green agro.

Whether or not you consider red green agro a deck is a different story.

Atarka's Command can also deal damage + allow you to kill your opponent earlier in land-flooded hands by feeding your ability to cast multiple spells in a turn. That is not an optimal mode for it, but I'm honestly just looking for scenarios to make all modes playable.

you can run 4 destructive revelries on 1 stomping ground, you can run 2+ Command on one stomping ground. Run a second stomping ground if you're super concerned.
