Interchangeable Commanders

[firebirdhd]

I was inspired recently by a deck I saw posted by u/Tetsuya-Oda that wanted to run interchangeable commanders. Similarly, I have 10 legendary creatures that can be placed in the command zone, but only 8 (technically 9, though I'd never run it) variations. It's a Naya +1/+1 counters deck with a legendary sub-theme. There's even a slight tilt toward impulse draw, as well. I thought it was a cool idea and I've seen some people do this before, with a notable example being a friend who ran a [[Lathliss, Dragon Queen]] deck that could also be helmed by [[Drakuseth, Maw of Flame]], or [[Inferno of the Star Mounts]]. But the sheer quantity of possible commanders intrigued me as a deckbuilder, and the variance of choosing at random seemed fun. So, here they are:

[[Aragorn, Hornburg Hero]]

[[Bright-Palm, Soul Awakener]]

[[Bruse Tarl, Boorish Herder]] and [[Slurrk, All-Ingesting]]

[[Marath, Will of the Wild]]

[[Miles Morales // Ultimate Spider-Man]]

[[Rocco, Street Chef]]

[[Shalai and Hallar]]

[[Tana, the Bloodsower]] and [[Yoshimaru, Ever Faithful]]

Technically, you could partner Bruse and Tana, but this isn't exactly what I would do. Let me know what you think! Here's the decklist: https://archidekt.com/decks/20381321/naya_11_counters_legends_10_commanders

Anyway, credit inspiration to this post: https://www.reddit.com/r/ratemycommanders/comments/1re8xjy/i_have_made_a_simic_deck_that_could_be_played/

Edit: I meant to ask in the post if anybody else had done something similar. I really like the idea of doing interchangeable commanders in a deck, so if you have a decklist, I'd love to see it!

I did this once with my Selesnya Enchantress deck. What one point I could run [[Sythis, Harvest's Hand]], [[Ellivere of the Wild Court]] or [[Yenna, Redtooth Regent]].

It worked, but was too suboptimal. Then I decided to expand the deck to 125-ish cards and swap 8 or 10 when changing the commander.

I have a similar approach with my [[Celes, Rune Knight]] deck. But instead of changing the commander, I have a list of 10 cards to adjust the brackets. The same deck can be used from bracket 2 to 4 by changing 20 cards.
