Aurelia, the Warleader is fun in Saskia the Unyielding. If you get her and Gisela, Blade of Goldnight out, you can start killing multiple players with one alpha strike (through Saskia's ability) fairly easily, or just have both of them attack, use something to make them connect (I'm rather fond of Bower Passage.), pick off one player, blink Saskia, and repeat.
The only problem is that, um, Horned Kavu, Animar, and Aluren is an infinite combo that comes down on turn 4 without any ramp.

Rollback Post to RevisionRollBack
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!
Another problem I’ve struggled with is that most of the popular Temur commanders have been done to death by my group. I used to have a Wanderer list, at the same time someone else had one, and two others have active Animar lists.
Except for the boros cards, all of those cards have seen play in my Wanderer deck. But, if you don't want Temur, maybe you want to go Naya. I think Zacama, Primal Calamity would be cool. If you play a few Ravnica bouncelands (or a mana doubler like Zendikar Resurgent), and something like Temur Sabertooth, you can replay Zacama infinite times and go nuts with Sunbird's Invocation, Primeval Bounty..
Aurelia is great in decks that hit hard, and is good with Etali. You can have other attack triggers/damage triggers like Balefire dragon and Pathbreaker Ibex.
Assemble the Legion is weird in the deck, but is good with Pathbreaker Ibex and Craterhoof behemoth. I've only played Assemble the legion with Zedruu the greathearted, to give away tokens.
You need a ton of ramp, which is fine, since Zacama is a great mana sink.
Each of the following cards has been sitting unused in my binder for way too long, and needs a home. What's the best commander for as many of these cards as possible?
- Etali, Primal Storm
- Sunbird's Invocation
- Assemble the Legion
- Primeval Bounty
- Mind's Dilation
- Aurelia, the Warleader
Thanks in advance!

Primeval Bounty can be fun in a lot of creature-focused decks. Animar, Soul of Elements basically reads it as "Every noncreature spell you cast makes creatures cast 3 less, and every creature gives you a beast token." And Animar does bounce a lot of creatures, so you'll be casting creatures a lot. It also has synergy with Doubling Season, Hardened Scales, and Primal Vigor (all Animar staples), Elemental Bond and Garruk's Packleader (more Animar staples), and Purphoros, God of the Forge and Pandemonium (also Animar staples).
The only problem is that, um, Horned Kavu, Animar, and Aluren is an infinite combo that comes down on turn 4 without any ramp.

In terms of Mind's Dilation, and a number of these cards, I've been enjoying them in a Thrasios, Triton Hero/Vial Smasher the Fierce deck.
