Commander format discussion

Also called EDH or Elder Dragon Highlander, Commander is Magic's most popular format and all about picking your hero and building a deck around them. In this casual, multiplayer format, you choose a legendary creature to serve as your commander and build the rest of your 100 card deck around their color identity and unique abilities. Players are only allowed one of each card in their deck, with the exception of basic lands, but they can use cards from throughout Magic's history.

Commander combines the command zone, color identity, singleton deckbuilding, multiplayer strategies, and the entire MtG cardpool for one of the most exciting and fresh ways to play.

Just spent an afternoon giving my [[Eriette of the Charmed Apple]] deck a solid few games and she pretty quickly made it up to the top spot for me.

What are folks' favorites you've played recently?

[[Aminatou, the Fateshifter]] is really fun. Her +1 can help filter with a shuffle effect after, set up miracle cards, or just give you a peek for low investment. Her -1 can target any permanent, which is nuts. Use a - ability on a Planeswalkers then flicker and use a + ability, ramp with [[Solemn Simulacrum]] or any other good ETB creature effects, [[Act of Authority]] and [[Disinformation Campaign]] for value. And her ultimate can be really fun too, especially after a boardwide flicker to keep your own creatures.

She gets even more nuts with[[Resourceful Defense]] and [[Oath of Teferi]].

My favorite backbone to a good stuff Esper control toolbox deck.
