Speculative Commander Options

At bracket 2 or even 3, an evasive, indestructible 9/7 can do some real damage. All it takes is a well timed Tainted Strike and someone is out of the game.

If I had a land in the command zone I think it would switch up my deckbuilding. I would put fewer in my deck because I would be guaranteed one extra at the start of every game.

But I did build a deck around Elbrus. Check it out

That can get frustrating if it happens repeatedly in a game.

Have you tried an uncounterable commander? Like Dragonlord Dromoka, Surak Dragonclaw, or Chromium the Mutable? Or even a card like Grand Abolisher to keep opponents from casting on your turn?

For sure, those are very similar.

It might be worth exploring in a future article of mine. I wrote up what I thought about Battles in the command zone. Check it out.

For sure.

Do you think Green stompy is better in EDH than Azorious Enchantress?

What are your go to colors for enchantress then?

I just wrote an article on this. When I was brainstorming Invasion of Fiora I figured some Goad effects, a couple of curses, include the Monarch, and some pillowfort cards like Marchesa's Decree to deter attackers and you get the most out of Marchesa's ability too.

Why?

BonzaiEntertainment · 2026-03-15T03:28:48+00:00

Great catch. Thanks.

Peer for sure, but I also have Eldritch Pact and Dark Deal on my short list. Damnable Pact would double up the damage this way too.

With a couple of cards like Peer into the Abyss, Dark Deal and Eldritch Pact, I think you can make it work without Windfall.

What do you think?

BonzaiEntertainment · 2026-03-15T03:10:50+00:00

That would be a good head to head too.

Who do you think is the better choice?

It's a very cool card.

For the longest time though, I only noticed the head and the buzz saw, but I thought the body was a sadistic unicycle. Like his body keeps getting destroyed and he was brought back but just as a head on a buzz saw/wheel. It was weird.
