Card advantage is not the same thing as card draw. Something for 2B cannot be strictly worse than something for BBB or 3BB. If you're taking out Swords to Plowshares for Plummet, you're a fool. Stop doing these things!
Tsk tsk tsk. What? No demon tribal? Commander? Rakdos the Defiler! While there aren't many demon tribal specific cards, the ones that do exist tend to be quite potent. rakdos himself is a beating and add in any of the better demons and boards will not last.
We've got both a Rosheen Meanderer and a Marrow-Gnawer in my meta, and they're both pretty good. We also have a five colour changeling deck, although ours is helmed by a Karona, False God. However, I'll have to second the sentiment that building tribal for tribal's sake with no synergy makes little sense. All three of the decks mentioned earlier have cool payoffs for being built the way they are.
I've read about it being built to win with Barren Glory. Right before your turn you eat all your lands, all your artifacts, all your enchantments except barren glory, and all your cards in hand, then Atogatog gobbles up all the atogs before eating himself. I think with the right atogs it's a 4 card combo.

The Meaning of Life: "M-hmm. Well, it's nothing very special. Uh, try and be nice to people, avoid eating fat, read a good book every now and then, get some walking in, and try and live together in peace and harmony with people of all creeds and nations"

Step 3: Do what those players do. Step 4: No more problem. Bonus: You are now better at Magic. Enjoy those extra wins!
I dont know if its too "mainstream" but Lin Sivvi, Defiant Hero is a really cool commander. Rebels are a cool old tribe and for the most part they duck the usual issue with tutoring commanders where they become predictable and linear because most of the rebels are defensive and or just more bodies. I have been playing my list for years not and I still find it refreshing and fun given that each game is different even with a tutoring commander.

I have officially moved to MTGNexus. I just wanted to let people know as my response time to salvation decks being bumped is very hit or miss.

Is there any way for Lin Sivvi decks to win other than Mirror Entity? That one just seems so perfect for the deck. Get a bunch of weenies and then suddenly they're huge. I guess now you can use Aetherflux Reservoir as a kill after you gain infinite life from Task Force and Outrider en-Kor.

Mirror Entity is the easiest way. That isn't to say you couldn't run something like Dictate of Heliod or some other anthem effects if you wanted. I also toyed with an equipment build that just connected decently while maintaining a strong defense. Rebels have a lot of evasion options so connecting with random swords can be decent too. Leonin Sun Standard is also something I have considered now and then but Mirror Entity often is plenty on its own.
Its also really funny to play if anyone plays voltron. Rebels vs voltron is so one sided its kind of funny.

I know Vampires were forbidden but its honestly not that bad with the new Olivia. The whole Hellbent Madness thing makes the deck pretty fun to play if you are like me and love discarding your own cards lol. Puts Ghirapur Orrery to work.

The following link is an invitation to join Pucatrade (card trading service though similar to TCGPLayer). If you follow the link then it awards me with tokens to exchange for actual cards. Thanks! https://pucatrade.com/invite/gift/86097

Yeah, but the biggest problem with Lin Sivvi is what you can't do. You can't pump Task Force up and then hit your opponent with Assault Formation. You can't pump Task Force up, sac it to Miren, the Moaning Well, and trigger Sanguine Bond. You can't use any of the black rebels from powercreeptastic Time Spiral.
That, and too much tutoring, in my experience, attracts a lot of hate.

Sphinx Tribal! Azor, the Lawbringer makes a fun commander. Run control and draw, use Unesh and the other fun sphinxes. There’s actually good synergy there and it’s loads of fun.
With Aryel, Knight of Windgrace you could go with a Knight Tribal. They might not have a lot of synergy but i bet they are fun. if i had more cash I was actually planning to build her myself.
Play powerful enchantments and planeswalekrs with the rectors, sac outlets like Ayli, death triggers like grave pact, lifegain triggers like Karlov, and creatures with evasion for Tymna. Creatures with death triggers and etc triggers like Ashen Rider can be reused with Ravos.
Cleric Matters cards:
Profane Prayers
Battletide Alchemist
Celestial Gatekeeper
Doubtless One
Edgewalker
Master Apothecary
Rotlung Reanimator
Whipgrass Entangler
Ancestor's Prophet
Battlefield Medic
And just some good cards that happen to be Clerics:
Westvale Cult Leader
Auriok Champion
Beloved Chaplain
Bygone Bishop
Containment Priest
Doomed Necromancer
High Priest of Penance
Preacher
Weathered Wayfarer
Witch Hunter
Soul Warden
Soul's Attendant
Suture Priest
Pious Evangel
Liliana, Heretical Healer
Adaptive Automaton, Belbe's Portal, Obelisk of Urd
Also, Konda's Banner.

Credit to DolZero for this awesome sig!
I also like Golem tribal with Brass Herald and Adaptive Automaton. I use Karn, Silver Golem rather than Bosh, Iron Golem since Karn is 'true' colorless. Sometimes I really wish I could run a Geosurge, though.
- Rabid Wombat
Personally I use Roon for my Golem needs. Gives access to all the splicers and let's me blink them so I can keep making Golem Tokens.
This aint your girlfriends meta! This is a man's meta! TURBO META.
I bet you could make a decent Eggs-style Atogatog deck with Second Sunrise and Faith's Reward.
