Why Play Annie Joins Up

The immediate 5 damage upon entering provides excellent removal that can handle most planeswalkers and many creatures, making it a strong tempo play in the midgame. Naya decks built around legendary creatures get tremendous value from the doubling effect, turning single triggers into powerful engines. Deploy this when you have legendary creatures already in play or can quickly follow up with them, as the enchantment's ongoing effect becomes exponentially more valuable with multiple legendary permanents.

Format Notes

Commander sees the most play due to the format's legendary-focused nature and multiplayer games that reward incremental advantage engines. Standard and Pioneer decks occasionally include it in legendary tribal builds, though the three-color requirement limits its adoption. The card has no ban history and maintains steady relevance in casual metas where legendary creature synergies are popular.

Combos & Synergies

Alesha, Who Smiles at Death creates devastating loops when her triggered ability doubles, potentially recurring multiple creatures per combat. Omnath, Locus of Creation becomes explosive with doubled landfall triggers, generating massive card advantage and board presence. Captain Sisay benefits enormously from the effect, as doubling her activated ability triggers lets you tutor multiple legendary permanents in response to a single activation.
