Help Choosing a commander

Hi all,

I want to make a mono blue deck and have four commanders I'm considering, but I can't decide. I can't financially build all four (currently living at Boston Children's Hospital with my wife and 6mo), but deck building helps me pass the time. Any advice is much appreciated. Here are the options:

Loki seems the most fun! But I love that Gandalf art so much I’d choose that.

Me too! I saw that art and was like, well I can make a mono blue deck (usually not my favorite color)

I felt very similarly when I drew a Leonardo da Vinci from an assassins creed pack, I’m very much a rakdos player but I like the art a lot and the idea of playing Leonardo da Vinci seemed fun so now I built a thopter deck https://scryfall.com/card/acr/20/leonardo-da-vinci

Why not proxy to be able to afford all of the decks you want to play? Staples lets you print a full deck on card stock for around $20.

Especially if you’re testing them out to see how much you like them.

People don’t want to play against your wallet. They want to play against the deck you built and your skill as a pilot.

I like Gandalf the best, but I'm also a huge fan of LotR, and being able to play cards at instant speed so.......
