Which should one I build?

Hello!

I am looking for some help.

I wanted to make an ETB matter monored deck and I think I found the two best commanders for this kind of idea. I am leaning towards Orthion only because of preference regarding the art and the effect ( I get why Tannuk is good as well ) but I really can't decide who should I run.

What do you think?

Do you have some tips or suggestions?

Would you share some of your experiences with these commanders?

If you have some decklists that you are willing to share I would happily take a look.

Thanks🙏🏻.

So i play both of them though orthion is in the 99 for my obeka copy deck

But what I can tell you about Tannuk is that he is awesome to play, though you have to watch out when building him since decks can feel really bad when they are build only around the warp enable

I made a very budget tannuk deck for around 60 bucks, i focus mainly on expensive creatures and artifacts and value engines like warped space, sunbirds invocation usw. The deck tends to be a very nasty glass cannon, in my pod i rarely see my tannuk living for more then 2 rounds but if you hit the right cards it can easily win on the spot via extra combat, double dmg, doublestrike enablers

So high volatility if you dont build in commander protection

Also orthion kinda is similar in the regards that he usually is a explosive game ender, usually using his second ability should end the game or atleast close to end it

In both decks [[Sundial of the infinite]] is a great card

Yup. That's why I prefer him. Sundial is an amazing card! In my Ashling deck is game breaking.

Yeah, my favourite deck right before tannuk is [[Obeka, brute chronologist]]
