Avalanche of Sector 7's power is equal to the number of artifacts your opponents control.
Whenever an opponent activates an ability of an artifact they control, Avalanche of Sector 7 deals 1 damage to that player.
A mono-red punisher commander that turns opponents' own artifacts against them. Avalanche grows huge in artifact-heavy pods and pings players for activating mana rocks, fetch artifacts, and combo pieces, while you back it up with artifact hate, group-slug effects, and aggressive red beats. You win by attacking with a giant menace creature and bleeding tables out with incidental damage and burn.
Free, repeatable damage whenever opponents tap mana rocks or activate equipment/combo artifacts — common in cEDH and high-power pods
Power scales automatically against artifact-heavy decks, often becoming a one- or two-shot threat with menace
Cheap 3-mana commander that recasts easily and demands answers
Slots naturally into mono-red's deep artifact-hate and group-slug packages
Punishes the most-played commander staples (Sol Ring, Signets, fast mana)
Power is entirely dependent on opponents' boards — near-useless against decks with few artifacts
Mono-red lacks card advantage, ramp, and recovery compared to other colors
No evasion beyond menace and no built-in protection from removal
The ping triggers on opponents' terms; passive players can simply not activate artifacts
Vulnerable to losing the commander repeatedly with no way to draw into gas
