About Aegar, the Freezing Flame

Aegar, the Freezing Flame, Legendary creature — giant wizard, designed by Chris Rahn first released in Jan, 2021 in the set Kaldheim and was printed exactly in 7 different ways.

A deck that focuses on a Giant and Wizard tribal theme with a mix of burn spells would benefit from including Aegar, the Freezing Flame, as it provides card advantage when dealing excess damage to opponent's creatures or planeswalkers. While there may be better cards for specific strategies, Aegar's unique ability to draw cards in a synergistic deck could make it a valuable inclusion, especially in a midrange or control-oriented build that can consistently trigger its ability.

Rules

02/05/21

A creature has been dealt excess damage if one or more sources deal more damage to it than the minimum amount of damage required to be lethal damage. In most cases, this means damage greater than its toughness, but consider the damage already dealt to it that turn.

02/05/21

Even 1 damage dealt to a creature from a source with deathtouch is considered lethal damage, so any amount greater than that will cause excess damage to be dealt, even if the total amount of damage isn’t greater than the creature’s toughness. Note that a source of damage having deathtouch has no effect on damage dealt to planeswalkers.

02/05/21

If a permanent is both a creature and a planeswalker, the minimum amount of damage to be considered lethal damage is used to determine if excess damage has been dealt. For example, if a 5/5 creature that’s also a planeswalker with three loyalty counters on it is dealt 4 damage, it’s been dealt 1 excess damage and Aegar’s ability may trigger.
