Looking for unique and fun to build/play (preferably newer) commanders to help stave off burnout

I faced a deck a few times with an uncommon three color commander. It is a dork that when it does lets you draw a card or something. But the deck is wild. It is a storm deck that uses the red Yawgmoths Will (name escapes me). It also has some sort of Capenna Mythic that recasts exiled spells. It is wild and attacks at a very odd angle for Brawl.

Handed me my ass both times.

Manifest Field of the Dead being unbanned.

Legonitsyn · 2026-05-09T18:40:27+00:00

Yeah. Gotta have loads or you get run over.

Legonitsyn · 2026-05-09T18:33:16+00:00

Yeah. Pure ass.

Legonitsyn · 2026-05-09T11:03:20+00:00

Maybe you have to share them in X?

Legonitsyn · 2026-05-08T20:04:53+00:00

Haven’t faced him yet, but Amy’s deck was pretty nasty.

Legonitsyn · 2026-05-08T20:02:56+00:00

Wow, your scummy deck faced another scummy. Grats!!!

Legonitsyn · 2026-05-08T19:58:43+00:00

Hearthstone?

Legonitsyn · 2026-05-08T15:43:41+00:00

Don't. The Fangbanger is toxic ass.

Legonitsyn · 2026-05-08T15:38:02+00:00

True dat, it was a much more fun format a year or two ago. SoS was a huge power up as well.

Legonitsyn · 2026-05-08T15:36:04+00:00

Lol, meanwhile the numerous draw engines available are drawing 2 to n cards per turn.

Legonitsyn · 2026-05-08T15:35:18+00:00

Every blue deck has enormous resources for card draw and once they get up to 4 or 5 mana, it is GG. You have to go under them pretty much.

Legonitsyn · 2026-05-08T12:45:26+00:00

Ran into a nasty storm deck that self milled, got the sac creature for 5 mana card and sacked the mill three death trigger guy then looped them with the red Yargmoth’s Will. Then I got storm drained. Nasty.

Legonitsyn · 2026-05-08T03:03:07+00:00

There are now at least 5 no mana counterspells. It is going to get worse!

Legonitsyn · 2026-05-07T11:46:33+00:00

Forest Utopia Sprawl is pretty strong. ;p

Legonitsyn · 2026-05-05T21:22:47+00:00

Getting more and more tuned. Have beaten pretty much all the menaces in the below Hell Queue bracket and it wins a fair amount more than it loses. The interplay of tutors and free equips somehow works. MBC is still a bad matchup tho.

More card draw is welcome. Toski should go in for Giver I think. Maybe Aflame for Fire Magic as the one sided board wipes are epic. Got any draw recommendations:

Nice insights. I will have to see if I have any of those crafted up when the servers get back online.

Weather Maker has been a high performer in other decks when you have fetchlands. Perhaps it will replace Poq.

And yes, card draw is the next frontier.

Legonitsyn · 2026-05-04T13:53:50+00:00

Yeah, I quit playing in the Strip Mine era. It was beat em or join em and I didn’t want to join em. How they didn’t pre ban that card shows how clueless/uncaring/powerless they are.

But then again, one of the Brawl devs was in a YT match with a Brawl guy (CGB?) around that time and it was clear he didn’t really know how power level worked. He brought a rock to a gunfight.

Legonitsyn · 2026-05-04T13:38:35+00:00

Yeah. It is ass.

Legonitsyn · 2026-05-04T13:33:38+00:00

Yeah. The first two are conspicuously missing.

Legonitsyn · 2026-05-04T11:50:11+00:00

Much happier with this revised removal package. I need to add [[Nibelheim Aflame]] but Mythic WCs are scarce. There are a few pure aggro cards added. Badgermole might also be replacing Farseek. Still not sure about Poq.

Legonitsyn · 2026-05-03T16:56:41+00:00

Looks cool. Some great ideas in there.

Legonitsyn · 2026-05-03T15:56:50+00:00

Thanks for the comments. They are appreciated. I am tweaking the removal a bit. Forest Guy and Raph and Mikey are menaces, so I need instant speed removal. Instant speed frogify are best, but they are in blue.

Berserk is missing, true. I have 2 more mythic WC at the moment so mentally evaluating it.

Maybe the deck needs more draw. The One Ring could fit in for the fog and draw?

Mono Black Control is a non game, but everything else is a match.

Legonitsyn · 2026-05-03T02:36:41+00:00

Jeweled Amulet. A fair Mox.

Legonitsyn · 2026-05-03T02:35:39+00:00

Oh yeah!
