About Hinata:
Hinata, Dawn-Crowned is a new Jeskai colored commander from Kamigawa: Neon Dynasty.

A tough, rumbling 4/4 flyer with trample, Hinata has the unique ability to reduce casting costs for its pilot while simultaneously increasing the casting costs of opponents. In a way, Hinata has a pseudo-"Ward 1" and gives all other potential targets the same.

Using its ability, Hinata can find great utilization with spells that target multiple instances. This essentially makes x spells very cheap, with the capability to go as wide as the entire board (e.g., Aurelia's Fury or By Force).

Hinata serves as a pilot to an Underworld Breach style storm deck as its cost-reduction ability works well with Brain Freeze lines, reducing that spell to only symbol:u, while possibly hindering opposing Brain Freeze lines. This is useful as it allows Brain Freeze lines to be powered by Lotus Petal as opposed to solely just Lion's Eye Diamond. As well, Hinata is capable of reducing the casting costs of Sevinne's Reclamation by symbol:1.

Due to her cost reduction ability, Hinata serves as one of the best commanders for Dualcaster Mage combos lines as she can reduce the overall cost of the combo by 1 on Twinflame or4 in the case of Sublime Epiphany.

Weaknesses:

1. No inherent card advantage in the Command Zone: It's what it is, we just keep moving forward, even if we topdeck, even after we topdeck.
2. A mana value of 4 isn't the worst, but isn't the best neither in the face of removal. Factor in the triple colors as well.
3. Hinata is essentially a stax piece that actively hinders opponents' mana lines, so she will face removal sooner than later; an easy Pyroblast or Gilded Drake target for sure.
4. Taxing opponents may be of detriment when their interactions may be of mutual benefit to yourself (see the "Mid Game" section for more information).
5. The cost reduction ability is unique and opens the door to some interesting strategies and card choices. With that said, to get optimal uses out of these cards, Hinata should be on the battlefield.
