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?

Current jams:

[[Sidisi, Brood Tyrant]] - Old zombie tribal build circa 2018, with a few small updates. Has retained much of its power despite me no longer owning a Cradle and being more of a throwback deck.

[[Haldan, Avid Arcanist]] + [[Pako, Arcane Retriever]] - The pair that got the wheels turning again after the pandemic hiatus. Focuses mostly on synergies from playing stuff from exile and having multiple commanders.

[[Kwain, Itinerant Meddler]] - UW Taxes. We're all gonna draw a ton of cards, but we're gonna be reasonable about what you can do with them.

[[Ramos, Dragon Engine]] - Legendary Artificer Tribal. Named characters, a bunch of artifacts and sometimes the gears start turning and weird stuff happens.

[[Tayam, Luminous Enigma]] - Abzan +1/+1 counters and value. Ignoring ability counters because there's already too much to keep track of. Other than Rosie/Oak, all the combos are 5+ piece engines.
