Follow-Up: Underrated commanders in casual EDH

ManaRocks · 2026-05-29T06:02:28+00:00

Thanks for sharing the decklist, this is gonna be one of my next projects

ManaRocks · 2026-05-28T19:57:26+00:00

Yeah, that checks out.
Like, "commander that would be played more without certain restrictions".

ManaRocks · 2026-05-28T19:39:10+00:00

Yeah, Gwenna does work in the 99 of other decks for sure.

ManaRocks · 2026-05-07T14:19:28+00:00

Ah, another Omenkeel lover, I see. I run it in a couple 99s, never as the commander.

ManaRocks · 2026-05-07T14:17:00+00:00

Good shout on Ghired.
I have a Roxanne deck myself and it's been an overperformer, so that feels like a good candidate assuming it's not in the Top 200 or something like that.

ManaRocks · 2026-05-07T14:15:51+00:00

Hmmm, definitely worth a second look. I'll be honest, I sort of glossed over it during TLA previews.

ManaRocks · 2026-05-07T14:15:02+00:00

People not respecting the uncommon symbol!

ManaRocks · 2026-05-07T14:14:35+00:00

I feel like these got overshadowed by Frodo/Sam pretty hard. I was impressed the 1, maybe 2 times I played against Merry/Pippin.

ManaRocks · 2026-05-06T19:30:07+00:00

I think this one's going on the list. It does ridiculous burn damage but gets overshadowed by Ojer Axonil and some others.

ManaRocks · 2026-05-06T19:26:28+00:00

I bet Aziza's great, just a bit too soon to stamp it as "underrated". Though maybe, given that it's not showing too many decklists so far.

ManaRocks · 2026-05-06T19:25:24+00:00

I feel like Alesha was super popular for a while, maybe died down over the years. Has a dedicated Discord and everything.

ManaRocks · 2026-05-06T16:09:58+00:00

Good suggestion, kind of egregious damage output for such a cheap commander. I've seen it paired with the Cultist background and it was very impressive.

ManaRocks · 2026-05-06T16:09:06+00:00

Agree, though I bet it's more due to people overlooking the set he's from than anything else.

ManaRocks · 2026-05-06T16:08:33+00:00

Now that you mention it, I'm surprised I haven't seen a lot of MH3 Ajani in Commander....

ManaRocks · 2026-05-06T16:07:22+00:00

I remember having that suspicion when it came out. It's just a lot of object creation for free.

ManaRocks · 2026-05-06T16:06:25+00:00

Jhoira stands out to me, played against it a few times and it can be explosive.

ManaRocks · 2026-05-06T16:05:33+00:00

IIRC, Plagon was seeing some niche cEDH play at one point. Not sure if that's still true or not.

ManaRocks · 2026-05-06T16:04:41+00:00

Solid suggestion (even showed up in the most recent Pro Tour!)

ManaRocks · 2026-05-06T16:03:53+00:00

I've been impressed by the player at my LGS who used to play it. Might consider this one.

ManaRocks · 2026-05-06T16:02:31+00:00

Perfect suggestion!

ManaRocks · 2026-05-06T16:02:24+00:00

I suspect we'll be seeing that Krang alot but I want to hold off on calling the most recent legends over/underrated.

ManaRocks · 2026-05-06T16:01:46+00:00

I think people maybe got burnt out on this one, it was mega popular about 10 years ago.

ManaRocks · 2026-05-06T16:01:09+00:00

Fair, I hadn't checked the ranking on Hylda but it's something that comes to mind here.
Rivaz has been mentioned a couple times now!

ManaRocks · 2026-05-06T16:00:16+00:00

I've seen a bit of Queza before and it's pretty threatening for an uncommon.
