So, I've been away from the game for awhile, and I'm looking for a commander to begin building around. I'll just let you guys know what I'm looking for, and maybe you can point me in the right direction?
I like the Esper shard, but I'm not against red or green. I don't want any infinite combos, but I enjoy a lot of interaction with smaller combos. I'm not super keen on voltron, I'd rather have some type of hybrid token / toolbox type of commander build.
I just don't know what to play! Money isn't really an issue, but I won't be buying any +$150 cards (Pendrell Vale, Moat, etc.)
Any of you run a commander kinda like this that you really enjoy?
Sharuum the Hegemon makes for a good toolbox commander, as does the pairing of Silas Renn, Seeker Adept and Ravos, Soultender. Sharuum draws hate because of the easy infinite combo of cloning Sharuum, and my Sharuum deck runs into that problem despite not having any infinite combos.
Esper (in my opinion) is the best color wedge for making a donate deck, because you get some of the best donate targets (Immortal Coil anyone?) and tutors/recursion galore. Silas and Ravos are also both fun recursion guys, and can make for some very interesting decks.
Zur the Enchanter control is fun and powerful, and with the power creep of recent commanders he gets hated a little less. I don't play it voltron or combo, just toolbox up some free card advantage. Also, Sun Titan is a boss in this deck.
Play Sydri then, there's constantly new and stupid artifact synergies to mess around with, many probably not even explored yet. I mean, you can Booby Trap someone then spam them with a 6/6 lifelink, deathtouch next turn or turn your Erratic Portal into a creature and bounce it back to your hand, how cool is that.
I was in a similar situation when I lucked upon a Breed Lethality deck at Target last week. Atraxa, Praetors' Voice is a really cool commander. There's so many ways to build a deck. +1/+1 Counters, super friends, aggro, voltron. She can do it all. Not to mention she has all the best colors for commander. Breed Letality is also pretty solid out of the box.
