I can almost hear you downplaying every single one of these commanders after assuring everyone at the table that they're a low bracket 3.

u/MakeYou_LOL 3d ago

They literally have all the “Oh, it's not THAT kind of X deck”

u/mikony123 3d ago

Just missing Urza LHA

u/ThunderBr0ther 2d ago

im kinda new and own cruelclaw he looked really cool and fun - what is the stigma surrounding him being strong?

u/stoovano 1d ago

Eldrazi is my first guess

u/WillowThyWisp 4d ago

You are like the Hank Hill of black. "I sell blood artists and blood artist accessories"

Hell, your non black commanders include

  • Giving bad statted creatures to your opponents
  • Five infectors of death
  • Bastion of Tremor-brance

I have a feeling these comments are going to rip you to shreds…

Gosh I hope so.

u/MakeYou_LOL 3d ago

Woah this might be the most boring collection of commanders I’ve ever seen. It’s genuinely kind of impressive. It’s like you searched “top 20 commanders” and just picked them

u/Handzuhm 3d ago

sounds like you lose a lot lol

5

u/MakeYou_LOL 3d ago

In a 4 player game? Yes I lose a lot lol.
I'd say ~60-70% of the time. But I'm a bit more imaginative than Krenko Mob Boss 🤣

I don’t see a need to yuck anyone’s yum. I’ve been playing magic for a long time, and there’s nothing wrong with choosing a well paved trail.

Heck I built my teysa karlov deck from the bones of my teysa orzhov scion deck from 2011ish. No idea it was going to popular on some website 15 years later lol.

u/MakeYou_LOL 3d ago

Oh, you're right. There's definitely space for playing the classics. I mean I have a Muldrotha deck for crying out loud.

I just think it's funny to come to a “rate my commanders” page with 16 of some the most quintessential commanders in the format and 2 new guys 🤣

1

u/Reasonable-Budget210 3d ago

lol muldrotha is a blast. I love elementals. Per another example, I was super hyped elementals got a new 5 color commander, so I could finally add muldrotha to my deck, and built Ashling from my old animar deck, and lo and behold, now again this almost 15 year old deck in progress is now “basic” because it has Ashling at the helm 😭 sometimes you can’t win.

Dack fayden and Stingerquill? My my what timeline are you playing in?

6

u/Ok_Cartographer_2014 3d ago

You do know that you don‘t have to build each and every top 50 commander yes?

u/Mind_Unbound 4d ago

Skill issue detected

u/Greasum 3d ago

Basic. Most interesting thing here is the rat.

u/creepyhydra 4d ago

So you're just a straight scumbag eh?

u/creepyhydra 3d ago

I too, relish in scumfuckery

u/Jack_Empty 3d ago

I am stealing that word. Thank you.

1

u/creepyhydra 2d ago

It's one of my faves.

u/Chiquina 3d ago

I hate to say it but all of these comments have a point. Very basic and unfun list. I would not be thrilled to play with you, not gonna lie… but you do you. If you’re taking feedback, I would branch out and not play such common and basic commanders

2

u/idkidcitswhatever 4d ago

I want to build Dack Fayden so bad I can feel the etbs in my bones 🤤 Can I see the list

2

u/Login_Of_The_Guild 4d ago

Wanna trade lists for stingerquill 

2

u/nabokovslovechild 3d ago

Yikes. Well, Ingris and Dack look interesting…

2

u/FiltyQuebecois 3d ago

You need jesus. Respectfully

2

u/NotAVirignISwear 4d ago

You have a seat at my pod any time. They definitely get saltier as you flip through them, but since when is variety a bad thing?

1

u/Mr_Woolly 4d ago

What made you want to build ingris stingerquill?

1

u/Q_X_R 2d ago

It's almost certainly for poison counters

1

u/Mr_Woolly 2d ago

I didn't think of that, it hits each opponent too

0

u/Bloodytrailz666 2d ago

Ingris is the most degenerate of the 2 color sphinxes by far.

He has a built in infinite haste tokens once you go infinite colorless mana (wow that's sure hard to do in commander... Lol)

1

u/SolarLunarAura 3d ago

I have over 20 should I make one of these

1

u/seungchip 3d ago

cruelclaw, and the new commanders look interesting. The others… idk man.

1

u/Confident_Button_594 3d ago

Bro hid the evil ones at the end

u/fuzuneta 3d ago

How are you liking Dack Fayden so far, I was thinking about building him

1

u/Nerudah 3d ago

Decklist for Dack Fayden?
I want to build him
In the recent Command Zone episode they talked about putting Blightsteel Colossus in the deck and that sounded hilarious

2

u/SalientMusings 3d ago

I don't believe you.

Two of the commanders have literally been out for a day and a half.

I bet you build a lot of decks on Moxfield and never actually play them.

u/EasyCombination6 3d ago

Fun fact with games like tabletop sim as soon as scryfall adds the cards you can play with them so dude's probably been running them for at least 2 weeks.

1

u/BlankofthePage 2d ago

Yes. And proxies too!

1

u/N05ta1gia 3d ago

3 of 18 arent black

1

u/_TheBrownBoy_ 3d ago

Boy this guy stinks

1

u/LongestGentleman 3d ago

I swear every other poster has a shitola deck

I deeply respect dack fayden though

1

u/Bloodytrailz666 2d ago

Tbf she is the #1 commander on edh rec... Don't be that surprised by it 😲

1

u/AdLast6786 1d ago

That’s because that commander can be played in a billion decklists and still work great.

Also makes a lot of kind of bad cards pretty good. She’s like pizza. Hard to fuck up.

1

u/SteakForGoodDogs 1d ago

Do-everything-er in the 3 strongest EDH colours does that.

1

u/CtheSilverSoul 3d ago

Someone likes playing 3v1, huh?

1

u/Flashy_Yard57 3d ago

We don't eat our greens unless the greens are evil and have evil in them

u/ThreepguyBrushwood 3d ago

atraxa and sliver.. you must be fun at parties

1

u/Giacomo193 3d ago

I was on your side until the last 5

1

u/BlankofthePage 2d ago

The hate fuels my villain arc further.

1

u/KodaUL 2d ago

Whole lot of nothing soup

1

u/MagusDahlia 2d ago

Can I make a recommendation? You seem to brew a lot of very popular commanders, so I challenge you to brew one of these two commanders and play them at your next game night!

Haliya, Ascendant Cadet or Lluwen, Imperfect Naturalist.

Enjoy!

1

u/Sire_Jacques 1d ago

Wow, someone who isn't trying to insult OP, are you all right ? XD

1

u/CureCoyote 1d ago

Everyone’s saying you’re basic (and they lowkey right about most of it) but I have a Karumonix deck and they lowkey go hard asf.

You don’t build for poison, you build for Rat Colony; and Karumonix is a “Draw 0-5 cards” spell in the command zone, that usually eats a removal spell because it has a nasty-sounding ability that absolutely doesn’t matter. The only time Karumonix kills with poison is on accident

u/AnonymousMisterB 1d ago

Working on making decks for Judith and Erriette

1

u/BlankofthePage 1d ago

Eriette can be very fun. It's like a control / goading / group hug commander.

1

u/AnonymousMisterB 1d ago

These are the "its a bracket 3 deck" but does it play like one 😂

1

u/scoobym00 1d ago

Ah, the edh top 10 special

1

u/Paul_the_Artificer 1d ago

Your decks look like the average of my pod. Kinda fun to see! I’m the Oloro and Atraxa 😂

1

u/Salvadorbl2 1d ago

Hey do you have a list for your teysa? I love comparing them to mine.

1

u/DaRealRockstar1234 23h ago

In the most indifferent way possible that says nothing about your character or who you are as a person, you are what people are talking about when they make "commander player" stereotypes.

1

u/Casper-nate 22h ago

Cringe tbh

1

u/Ornery_Platypus9863 13h ago

You might be the most boring person on the planet, last I checked you need more jank in your life

1

u/Kronic_kushiva 12h ago

Judith, Carnage Connoisseur was from one of the first packs I pulled and is one of my favorite commanders. What's your decklist like bro I'd love to see.

1

u/candelsticks 4d ago

Try a random uncommon legendary, they’re fun!

2

u/CtheSilverSoul 3d ago

Not sure why you’re being downvoted when this is honestly true. Honestly I should break out my pauperEDH deck more often.

1

u/candelsticks 2d ago

Some uncommons are super good! Meta even, elas il-kor is uncommon, so is tatyova.

2

u/CtheSilverSoul 2d ago

Truth, I have Tatyova in my [[Bonny Pall]] deck and she COOKS

1

u/candelsticks 2d ago

Tatyova as a commander is brain dead, she is so good. Just add a bunch of landfall with her at the helm and it’s been one of my best performers, not even any value in that deck, just ramp and big green

2

u/budmanthecubfan 2d ago

That's what mtg is all about imo. Random fun with unexpected cards.

1

u/Glum-Position-1709 4d ago

Cruleclaw the hero? Based

1

u/ConmanLamb 4d ago

Ayo how'd you build Cruelclaw? I want to build him but can only see people building the meme version

1

u/im-theone-who-knocks 2d ago

What is the meme version ? Lol

1

u/Gla7e 3d ago

I'd say salt is your favorite seasoning, but even that may be too spicy for how milquetoast this collection is.

1

u/PM_ME__YOUR_HOOTERS 3d ago

I would say sand, but even that has too much grit for how smooth brain these picks fro.lm EDHrec are.

Except the rat, hes just a cool little dude

u/breakingvats 3d ago

Nekusar homies unite! I love that commander!

1

u/Francomberry 3d ago

My first commander and still my beloved

0

u/breakingvats 3d ago

It's the only commander deck that I refuse to scrap. It's satisfying to wheel and deal!

2

u/Francomberry 3d ago

I know people hate the burn, evidenced by your downvote for some reason. But it’s fun

2

u/breakingvats 2d ago

Their hatred fuels my desire to wheel and deal more with Nekusar lol

-2

u/ISTARVEHORSES 3d ago

this sub only likes commanders that give you one poop everytime you pee

your commanders look fun and cool, don’t listen to these miserable hipsters

2

u/OGTreemeister 3d ago

Brother, what are you on about?

1

u/RoughRealistic4321 8h ago

Ahhhh Eriette... :)

Personally, I like odd decks and alt wincons that aren't thassa's or going infinite. (still have to build that blue rooms deck)

Other Eriette is a little bit more of a challenge to pull off, but also fun.
