The most powerful mechanic in MTG's Commander format returns, except now it hurts you
['Ben Macready']

A new commander has just been previewed that also has Eminence, but which turns the powerful mechanic into a downside.
Sahir, Visitor in Darkness, a horned human wizard, has just been previewed and will feature in Mystery Booster Commander Edition.
Like the Ur-Dragon and Edgar Markov, Sahir possesses Eminence, however, unlike those two cards, Sahir punishes the player, rather than rewarding them, when placed in charge of a deck.
Given that Gavin Verhey, the MTG designer credited with creating Eminence, once described it as "The Magic Mechanic I Shouldn't Have Made!"
This punishing twist, on the formerly powerful effect, seems designed to reign in the mechanic and make it less preeminent.
