There are so many commanders available in 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Magic: The Gathering. Every year, dozens, if not hundreds, of commanders are introduced, which is great for variety, not so great when it comes to deciding what you want to build.

﷽ Magic: The Gathering - The 10 Best Token🌟 Commanders

The﷽ use of tokens can be an invaluable tool in Magic: the Gatheri෴ng, and these are the best commanders to optimize token usage.

I'm sure I'm not alone in theory crafting a ton o💝f cool ideas for a Commander deck, but never actually sitting down to build them. These are really cool commanders I definitely want to get around tp building, but♐ who knows when that day will come.

10 𝓡Squall, SeeD Mercenary

Will It Even Be Fun?

MTG Squall, SeeD Mercenary card with the art in the background.

I never played a Final Fantasy game until the crossover set was announced, but I fell in love with the series. So, of course, I wanted to build a Commander deck for a lot of characters🎃. However, I never committed to building my favorite protagonist, Squall.

The problem with Squall is that if I want to pull the (gunblade) trigger, I'm not sure if it'll be fun for my opponents. It would be a lot of recursion of forced sacrifice, and I question if it's a deck people would even want to play against. I did win the 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Standard Showdown promo, so maybe it's a sign to just do it.

9 ♊ Chatterfang, Squirrel General

Time For Bracket Five

MTG Chatterfang Squirrel General card with the art in the background.

I have a Commander deck for every bracket, except for bracket five. Admittedly, I've never been 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:super into cEDH. I respect the format, but it's just not for me. That🉐 being said, it's the only bracket for which I don't have a Command𝓰er deck.

Chatterfang has always been my choice for commander if I ever decided to make a cEDH deck. Looking at Golgari colors, there are a lot of combos that Chat𒊎terfang can run, but the pricetag hasಞ been my main roadblock from actually building it. cEDH is a bit too out of my price range.

8 ꦚ Sisay, Weatherlight Captain

As The Lone Wanderer

MTG Sisay, Weatherlight Captain card with the art in the background.

Fallout is one of my favorite video game series, so of course I want to build a Commander deck featuring all the companio🌟ns from all the precons that were released in the Fallout set. My idea was to use Sisay as the stand-in for the Lone Wanderer, with the companions making up the deck.

Magi💧c: The Gathering – The 18 Best Temur Commanders

When building a Commander Deck in Magic: The Gathering, it's vital to know 𓆉th💎e best - here are the top blue, red, and green Commanders.

However, Sisay almost feels too easy of a commander, not to mention having to work with a five color mana-base. I fear the deck would just become stale very quickl൩y, tutoring the best companions out every game with Sisay's ability.

7 Zedruu The Greathearted ♛ ▨

The Problem With Spelltable Games

Zedruu the Greathearted MTG Card.

I love a bit of chaos, so I've always wanted to build a Cha💮os deck. Zedruu, the Greathearted seems like the perfect choice for the flavor of Chaos I'd want to play. However, there is one big problem: I primarily play on Spelltable (a way to play Magic through webcam).

Zedruu requires sending a lot of permanents to other players, which is incredibly hard and tedious by nature. Not everyone has dry-erase tokens to make the process easier, and tracking who has what just gets too complicated, so the amount of work that would go into playing this deck has turned me off from the prospecওt of it.

6 Flubs, Th🅺e Fool

Fun Or Solitaire?

Image of Flubs, the Fool card.

Flubs, the Fool instantly grabbed my attention with its unique effect. A commander that wants your hand to be empty fascinated me, and it sounded almost like a challenge to build. However, every flavor of Flubs seemed to always fall back on 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:some kind of storm build.

Storm is fun, but I always worry it will turn into a game of solitaire, where I hope no one interacts with me while ♏I combo off. I don't know if I want to see my opponents go on their phones while✅ I work towards a win.

5 ꦓ Light-Paws

Same Game Problem

Light-Paws, Emperor's Voice card in MTG.

Aura decks always sound fun, but as with many Voltron commanders, it feels like t🐼hey devolve into the same game being played every time. Light-Paws is one of, if not the best Aura commander, but because its effect is so good, you always just tutor the best Auras out from your library early.

Top Ba꧙nts: These Are The Best Green/White/Blue Commander Precons In Magic: The Gathering

Here are the precons that get it right.

I never ripped the band-aid on building it out of worry that the deck would get boring quickly. I loved Light-Paws as a character in Kamigawa: Neon Dynasty, and her art is just as fantastic, but ultim🍌ately, I'm not sure if her gameplay loop would be enjoyable.

4 Kutz🦩il, ♐Malamet Exemplar

A cPDH Commander

Image of Kutzil, Malamet Exemplar card.

For the unfamiliar, cPDH refers to competitive 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Pauper ꦍCommander, a variant of Commander in which any uncommon creature ꦦcan be your commander (legendary or not), and the 99 only have to be cards that have been released at common. I love Pauper Commander and have always wanted a competitive Pauper Commander.

Kutzil, Malamet Exemplar seemed like a fun commander that can combo freely since no one can interact with it. My main holdup is that I don't hav🐠e much of a Pauper Commander playgroup to actually play with. Perhaps I'll revisit the idea if I ever do, but until then, Kutzil is on the shelf.

3 The Twelfth Doctor ဣ

Too Many Options

MTG The Twelfth Doctor card with the art in the background.

I've been a long-time fan of Doctor Who since the reboot in 2005, so 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:when the crossover set came out, I knew I'd be building a deck for every ꦐDoctor. However, when it comes to the Twelfth Doctor, I just could never settle on an idea.

I could build it semi-competit♑ive by forcing opponents to copy spells th💮at make them lose the game at the end step, or if they can't pay a cost. I could also try a more casual copy and theft deck where I cast opponents' cards. With so many different ways and companion pairings, The Twelfth Doctor is the one Doctor I can never settle on a build for.

2 🌄 Bello, Bard Of The Brambles 🍬

Too Much Support

Bello, Bard of the Brambles card with the card art in the background.

Bloomburrow quickly became one of my fa🤪vorite Magic sets and planes of all time, so I really wanted to build Bello, Bard of the Brambles, because of my love of raccoons. I did actually make a decklist for Bello once, but there have been so many new support cards released that I'd need to start all over again.

Bello ha꧋s the problem Dragon decks do in that support keeps getting released, making it hard to commit to a build. Bel💫lo just keeps changing with every new set release, and I can never find a good time to build the cute little raccoon properly.

1 ꦿ Toxrill, The Corrosive

Do I Want To Build Stax?

Toxrill, the Corrosive card with the card art in the background.

Toxrill, the Corrosive is a commander that most dread sitting across from (myself included). But, I've never 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:actuall🌄y built a control/stax deck in Commander, and I do appreciate the design of what Tox✤rill wants to be doing.

However, I don't know if I want to be the one who reveals Toxrill in the command zone and see all those eye rolls. I hate to take away people's fun, but that's really 𒅌the only way to build Toxrill. Maybe one day, if I want to try being the villain in a pod for a chang༒e, I'll finally build Toxrill, whom I've owned since its release.
