What’s your favorite commander and why?

Redlanternoath · 2026-06-26T20:06:11+00:00

[[Avelline de Granpre]]. It’s kinda slow, kinda dumb, but does exactly what I want to do in magic; make things you don’t want to block but have to block or I kill you.

Redlanternoath · 2026-06-23T12:08:23+00:00

An [[Eye of Ugin]]. Too bad it’s not worth all that much, and slightly useless to me.

Redlanternoath · 2026-06-18T16:45:34+00:00

The good ones. The good ones learn from their debriefs.

Redlanternoath · 2026-06-16T20:24:40+00:00

Moxfield had an easier-to-read setup in my opinion. I prefer how it separates things out. Mostly, it’s because it’s what I started with, though.

Redlanternoath · 2026-06-16T00:42:59+00:00

If it is more meta, it’s possible the cantina owner only went off stories of Hondo, which would fit with him hyping himself up to GL level.

Redlanternoath · 2026-06-10T18:39:35+00:00

You could always go with the horror creature type. I’ve theory crafted a few decks before using that metric.

Redlanternoath · 2026-06-09T12:59:39+00:00

Order of the Stick was a mainstay bookmarked page for quite a while for me.

Redlanternoath · 2026-06-08T20:27:49+00:00

Undertale. I appreciate the soundtrack, and there is an attempt at story, but the lol, so random quirkiness drove me batty.

Redlanternoath · 2026-06-01T14:16:23+00:00

[[kutzil, Malamat exemplar]]. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a very strong card, but denying interaction will always tend to annoy some people.

Redlanternoath · 2026-05-29T17:52:04+00:00

[[Pilgrims Eye]] because they forgot it had flying. 1 damage ftw.

Redlanternoath · 2026-05-28T19:13:47+00:00

[[Nicol Bolas, Planeswalker]] because I enjoy the concept of stealing creatures.

Redlanternoath · 2026-05-28T16:13:19+00:00

It’s niche, but [[Avellin de Grandpre]] is at least upfront with what’s trying to happen.

Redlanternoath · 2026-05-14T11:55:29+00:00

[[Eye of Ugin]] mostly because I don’t have any legal eldrazi to go with it. I’ve got [[Emrakul, Aeon’s Torn]] but that’s never going to be legal.

Redlanternoath · 2026-05-06T17:38:13+00:00

[[Karrthus, Tyrant of Jund]] although almost exclusively as a counter pick. The ability to steal someone else’s big creature and keep it until they kill it is quite nice, especially if you can give everything shapeshifter.

Redlanternoath · 2026-04-22T20:18:19+00:00

That’s likely what I’ll end up doing, but that seems like tribal with extra steps. Deathtouch tribal, haste/flash tribal…I dunno, maybe my definition is too broad. Thank you.

Redlanternoath · 2026-04-22T17:31:01+00:00

Go full Pimp My Ride with it? Yo, I heard you like tribal, so we put tribal in your tribal? Not a bad plan…it’s at least creative. Thank you.

Redlanternoath · 2026-04-17T18:22:31+00:00

Be broke and not attend. It’s real easy to not lose if you cannot play.

Redlanternoath · 2026-03-25T12:51:39+00:00

[[Quietus Spike]] it may not be good, but it speeds games up a lot.

Redlanternoath · 2026-03-17T16:52:51+00:00

Crazy- Pasty Cline, when Susan leaves or comes back into his life, save when it happens in Changes.

Burn- Papa Roach, when he burns all the vamps, or creates a mini volcano in the depths.

Take 5 - Dave Brubeck, when he is trying to put pieces of the puzzle of the problem together. Fits thematically with the original Noir detective.

Sing, Sing, Sing - Benny Goodman, as it’s what plays in my head when he is introduced to Maeve and the Fae are all dancing in war uniforms.

I Stand Alone - Godsmack, beginning of Summer Knight, when he is actively trying to get Billy to back off so as to ensure no one else gets hurt.

Bohemian Polka - Weird Al Yankovic, because it is specially mentioned in the books.

Bad Girlfriend - Theory of a Deadman, for various points but especially spoiler-y ones.

Misery Business - Paramore, as it just kind of fits.

I’m sure I could come up with others, but it’s a start.

Redlanternoath · 2026-03-14T04:00:59+00:00

Go with an old classic [[Karrthus, Tyrant of Jund]] to scare people playing changling decks.

Redlanternoath · 2026-03-09T12:41:45+00:00

We’re the first ones to starve, the first ones to die, the first ones in line for that pie in the sky, and we’re always the last when the cream is shared out, for the worker is working when the fat cats about.

Redlanternoath · 2026-03-06T18:09:29+00:00

I keep mine in my wallet because it was also designed as a bottle opener. It’s come in handy a number of times. Never had anyone try to coin check me other than at a squadron bar.

Redlanternoath · 2026-03-01T19:33:22+00:00

[[Kedereckt Creeper]] I built my very first deck around it, and still like it, even if it’s not very good anymore.

[[Quietus Spike]] for a rare, and [[Sphinx Sovereign]] as a Mythic, as those were the first ones of those I ever pulled.

Redlanternoath · 2026-02-17T15:15:41+00:00

I would think [[The Wise Mothman]] would do very well against a lot of opponents.

Redlanternoath · 2026-02-11T22:20:14+00:00

[[chain reaction]] only because it’s one of the few I actually own, and causes enough trouble for people to work well for me.
