Who Are The Top 5 Commanders To Build An EDH With From Lost Caverns Of Ixalan? | Magic The Gathering 

I pre-ordered Pantlaza. I hope that I aquire the desparked Huatli to make her the Commander instead.

Artifactocrats

“Recycling Plant” or “Trashed Treasures” could work too

Porcelain Shop if you throw Quintorius in there.

Artisacs?

​@@Adnidi hitting face with a "arti-sack" deck bout' to feel different

The only think keeping me from doing that is the cost reducers in XLN/RIX and the new dork in LCI that aren't dinos

Ghalta and Mavren have a deck they can dominate in, finally.

I've been running him with Kaheera before this set. I barely get to play him cause he always slaps the table. My favorite deck tbh.

i feel like i’d still prefer to run smth like shared animosity or vanquisher’s banner, a 6 mana investment for a +1/+1 anthem and vigi doesn’t seem too worth it even without the deckbuilding restrictions

I recently tried swapping Gishath with Pantalza as my Commander and I like her more. Gishath is still in the 99 of course.

I second this! I watch all shuffle up and play episodes, Id love a PDH episode

good to know about the emblems, thanks

which one that doesn't really narrow it down

Same. I saw Carmen on the thumbnail and got excited

Kutzil is good for overrun because you can play any broken spells on your turn to win.

Mind sharing a decklist?

He's the home I always wanted for my Autobots.

He seems like such a fun buildaround, interested in a decklist if you can provide one!

He may be jank but he's my jank!

@@rorylastname7635be careful; ‘transform’ and ‘convert’ are two different keywords. If the text doesn’t say ‘transform’ anywhere in the card text, Golden-Gear Colussus doesn’t affect them.

I legit am just getting into MTG. I work in the mold remediation/ IAQ industry so having a fungus archetype was funny as hell to see. Did I build it as my first ever deck? Yes, yes I did

I was literally just wishing that I could run Mycotyrant with Inexorable Tide. This is gross. I bow to you, Sir

The direction I’ve been taking with it is using fungus creatures with spore counters to create saproling tokens! Proliferate your spore counters and sacrifice the saprolings to make more spore counters. Win cons can be related to combat damage with beast master ascension or going wide with tokens and +1/+1 counters, the saprolings trample or venom connoisseur + Fynn the Fangbearer since all the saprolings can be made at instant speed. You can also go infinite with intruder alarm, if that’s your thing

Haven't brewed a complete list with him yet cuz theres way too many commanders i want to try on this block, but my primary idea was sagas that generate tokens as a subtheme with cards like spore counter Saprolings as a proliferate counter of choice. You have an extremely disgusting top end with Kiora Bests the Sea God!

Ive brewed a Xavier sal deck, it's a combination of super friends that make tokens to take advantage of Xavier as well as sagas that make tokens to remove lore counters and reuse broken saga effects over and over, as well as an intruder alarm combo

@@fluffy_tcg"Let's just remove the first lore counter on that one... oops, another 8/8 hexproof Kraken pops out!"

Same here XD !

He is da boi!

Already got my deck list for him based around as many extra triggers as possible, just a great guy all around (with the alt art, main art is so rough)

True, built a lof of aristocrats around her and she is soo insans

True!! She is basically Alesha Power creep version

Haha I was hoping for Don Andres. I thought he was unarguably the coolest commander this set... but then I remembered my bias towards grixis

I think the designers realized the biggest issues with Pirate tribal is how playing the good ones the fair way would involve spending an entire turn worth of mana. Brass just cheats them out with a stat boost on top!

@@fluffy_tcg fair point lol

Gnome Commander, You mean Anim Pakal the Thoudandth Moon? The commander of the Gnomes. Or is there an actual gnome who is a commander.

omg Kutzil was so strong - people aren't ready for the anti-fog meta lol

I mean the white one is the most expensive card in the set right now. Clearly someone's appreciating them.

pyrohemia

Best deck honestly. The cards I want to see in any opening hand are The Ozolith for unstoppable recursion, Grateful Apparition to lead the charge and proliferate every combat phase; Reckless Fireweaver for aggresive Burn, And Ashnod’s Altar, to get Cathar’s Crusade, Ojer Taq, and Abzan Battle Priest on the field by turn 5. Defiler of Faith/Nykthos + Ashnod’s Altar and this deck pretty much becomes an infinite mana storm deck.

^ this guy has the good card evaluation skills

She and another cat legendary creature from ixalan put in my cat tribel deck from back in 2017. :) cats are the best

So I’ve built him and have all the double faced artifacts along with the good value artifacts in it and he’s nuts. I’ve easily taken control of tables with him very quickly and won games.

I just built an Inti deck as my first EDH deck ever, and I'm already thinking of ways to upgrade and optimize Inti as a commander. I'm just realizing that I don't actually have that many super cheap creature cards. Obviously, Ragavan Nimble Pilferier and Professional Face-Breaker are really going to take advantage of Inti's first ability that helps push damage through because they create treasures and help us impulse or in Ragavan's case, steal cards. But here's a few cheap creatures that synergize will with Inti: - Rotisserie Elemental, 1 drop with menace that can impulse if it deals damage - Ogre-Held Helm, 2 drop that can be sacrificed to discard hand, then draw 3 - Grenzo, Havoc Raider 2 drop that can Goad a creature or steal an opponents card - Moria Marauder. 1/1 2 drop with double strike that exiles the top card of the library and allows us to cast it until turn. So this could trigger up to two times per turn by itself, and with Inti it gives us 3 cards from exile that we can play from exile. Basically gives us tons of card selection if we want. - Prophetic Flamespeaker. is the same idea as Moria Maruader but it's a 1/3 3 drop with double strike AND trample. Seems strong. - Laelia, the Blade Reforged gets a +1/+1 counter for each card we exile so she has the potential to get huge very fast. - Memory Wurm will let us shock a player every time we cast a spell from exile and force that player to loot AND it gives it a +1/+1 counter Combo those with Wild-Magic Sorcerer that gives the first spell we cast from exile cascade and Nalfeshnee that gives us the ability to copy every spell we cast from exile and things are looking pretty crazy Irraxa, Empress of Mars, Flaming Tyrannosaurus, Keeper of Secrets, Kami of Celebration, Surly Badgersaur, are all must includes in this deck just because they are HUGE payoffs for everything we're doing. Ogre Battlecaster could be good in this deck since it allows to cast spells from the graveyard we may have discarded or simply casted earlier like Jeska's Will for example. Im personally running Trumpeting Carnosaur for the discover and discard synergies and Bonehoard Dracosaur for the card selection and the fact it reliabily makes treasures or 3/1s All in all just a really fun deck and Im really excited to see how it plays

Yeah and I wish they do more. Can't wait for an creature elspeth, and others

Okinec + Kami of whispered hopes +hardend scales +Unnatural Growth + Runadi Behemoth caller + Tribute to the world tree + Duskshell crawler = 80/80 haste, trample Termagant swam that dies into 80 5/5 tryanids. Ravinous, on the swarm and world tree plus any number of green draw and Kami's mana = power gets stuff out fast. Most of these cards have other cards that do basicly the same thing so its not as hard to pull off as it sounds. Also green has lots of find a creature in you deck. I've done it twice, don't slow build and let your opponent get a chance to respond. Just explode. My deck is far from optimized just a fun idea i through together in an hour. Okinec really brings out that X factor.

Open to anyone else's thoughts as well. Joined the discord server as well.
