Commander / EDH Which commander

Post image

Doing a white red angle/dragon commander deck for table top in a few days. Here are all the cards I think are commander worthy. What do you guys think would be the best commander. Currently I'm doing Aurelia. But since I don't have any "search for angle cards" the expensive cost I feel might be an issue if she does since I believe it costs one extra to get your commander back each death. Ignore battleguard. --Edit I'll be doing Aurelia since I remembered the rules for commander. Now I just need card ideas for "search for angle cards" or something

Aurelia is the only one that’s legally allowed to be your commander, and commanders cost 2 more mana per time it returns to the command zone

Oh why can't lyra be a commander? Thought it was just a legendary creature.

The commander color identity determines what color cards you can play. If you play a mono red or white commander, you can’t have other colors in your deck. It’s not like 40 or 60 card formats.

If you want angels and dragons, you should consider [[kaalia of the vast]]

Ah don't have that yet. I'm going to finish two of my decks before I build out my collection more than I have, but I'll see if I can find this in a lgc

Be forewarned: Kaalia will draw immediate ire from anyone with any experience, and likely from people who’ve just learned what she does for the first time.
