and for reference look at mystic confluence....what reason is there to play white? blue gets instant speed bounce/ draw/ counterspells. its like WOTC isnt even trying to hide their bias anymore.
somethings gotta break soon right? this is driving me nuts! hoping for a strong boros commander and a reprint (new art please) for jor kadeen, the prevailer
I know how much we all hate new things here, but level up commanders could actually be neat. The key would be having the levels tied to something more interesting than number of casts. Think of the current level-up creatures we have, but instead of leveling up just being tied to mana input it is instead tied to some in-game achievement.
"At the end of each turn, if you cast three or more spells this turn add a level counter to ~" for someone like a legendary Lighthouse Chronologist
"if a spell or ability you control has done 5 or more non-combat damage to an opponent this turn put a level counter on ~" for a Kargan Dragonlord like dude
"whenever a creature enters the battlefield under your control, put a level counter on ~" for a Joraga Treespeaker
Just a few ideas off of the top of my head, but it seems like a neat idea to introduce in-game achievements you would see in a league game into the actual game itself. Biggest problem I see with it is the wall of text that would be required to excecute something like this, along with a "Counters remain on ~ as it moves to any zone other than a player's hand or library." clause required to make them good generals.
i like this. a b/w student of warfare with some extra abilities would be sweet.
im currently using a near-death experience playmat.
utterly useless in duel commander with the casting costs needed to pump. no evasion, nada.
the boros hatefest continues.

this is the correct answer. preferably a boros general that is under 3 mana to give it that competitive push.
