This means you want to include cards like Puca's Mischief and Vedalken Plotter to continue shifting things around. You want to exchange control of permanents between everyone and through as many game plans off as possible. Part of this strategy revolves around donating permanents that seriously hinder other players at the table with your commander’s activated ability and then benefiting by drawing multiple additional cards per turn. It’s to create as chaotic and confusing a game state as possible and then capitalize off your opponent’s inability to navigate that game state. Zedruu the Greatheartedįifth place goes to everyone’s favorite minotaur monk, Zedruu the Greathearted! Zedruu is a chaos commander, which means its goal isn’t to win as quickly and efficiently as possible. Planeswalkers’ weakness comes from the fact that they pose a threat to three different potential attackers, but that weakness is now nullified. This is very easy to do in Commander where you have access to so many walls and single-target removal. I recommend building Pramikon, Sky Rampart in a much more defensive-oriented style where you’re pillow-forting against a specific enemy of your choice. While you’d normally rarely get to a planeswalker’s ultimate ability in a game, your likelihood of exiling an opponent’s graveyard with Jace, the Mind Sculptor is greatly increased with your commander and an Oath of Teferi. Since your planeswalkers will be extra safe from the most common threat you’re able to use them in a much more threatening and game-finishing way. That’s right, this is a superfriends commander! This passive ability lets you narrow your defensive focus to the weakest player next to you and creates a significant layer of defense for your planeswalkers. In sixth place is Pramikon, Sky Rampart who shakes things up a bit and breaks parity by forcing players to attack the opponent to their left or right. Dreamtail Heron, Lore Drakkis, and Cloudpiercer help you keep your hand full while you play from the graveyard, and Cubwarden and Regal Leosaur can turn your cantrip chain into a huge damage swing to knock out weaker adversaries. Pouncing Shoreshark and Sea-Dasher Octopus both have flash, which allows you to use a lot of your powerful instants on your opponent’s turn where they’ll be most effective. While mutate finds its strongest cards in black and green, Jeskai’s colors have powerful mutate cards. The benefit with this commander is that you get a second cast of these cards for free just by doing something that’s already productive, which in this case is mutating your commander or other cards onto it. Most efficient spells that kill things, give you card advantage, or do both are all generally three mana or less. Vadrok is a mutate commander through and through and taking advantage of its mutate triggered ability is a big part of your game plan. Vadrok, Apex of Thunderįollowing up in seventh place is Vadrok, Apex of Thunder. Vega, the Watcher draws tons of cards, Veyran, Voice of Duality gives you an additional cast with your commander’s ability, Murmuring Mystic and Thalia's Geistcaller give you 1/1 flyers, and Talrand, Sky Summoner bolsters your air force with more 2/2s. Your commander won’t be the only thing giving you benefits when you cast from the graveyard there are a bunch of other creatures and enchantments you want to run to maximize value. It turns simple cantrips like Ponder into pseudo- Ancestral Recalls when played with Snapcaster Mage or Torrential Gearhulk. It helps create a healthy spellslinger build by generating more value out of your flashback mechanics.ĭoubling a card that’s cast from your graveyard means you’re getting triple the value of just playing it once. Sevinne is a very fun and interactive commander to have leading your deck. Sevinne, the Chronoclasmįirst in the rankings today is Sevinne, the Chronoclas, the 2019 precon commander that promotes a fast-paced spellslinger playstyle. If drawing tons of cards, blowing up enemy permanents, and exiling your opponent’s critical combo pieces sounds like fun, then it’s time to start mulling over your options for a commander. The Jeskai pride themselves on their cunning strategy and wisdom and they perfectly represent these characteristics through their strategies and playstyle. Zedruu the Greathearted | Illustration by Mark Zugĭon’t you wish you could combine the card advantage and proactive play of blue with the tempo and direct removal of Boros ? Luckily for you we have one of the most powerful tempo-oriented color combinations ever, the Jeskai way!
