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?

This is a great post, I'm finding some new commanders to try out.

My personal favorite is [[Marisi, Breaker of the Coil]]. It's built around the incredibly fun "Goad" mechanic, which is rarely seen but very good in multiplayer. When you goad an opponent's creature, it has to attack someone else (if possible) during it's next combat phase. The deck is built around Goad and a lot of creatures that have evasive abilities.

Marisi goads ALL of the opponent's creatures whenever a creature you control deals combat damage to them. You can send a creature in at all of your opponents, and then watch the following turns as they all have to attack each other!

Here's the full decklist: https://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/marisi-and-the-naya-redheads/
