Blue-Eyes White Dragon (kills 99.99% of germs)

Commander / EDH Competitive Control Dragons Voltron WUB (Esper)

The reason commander damage is set at 21 has to do with the power/toughness of the original 3-color elder dragons. All the OG’s have 7 power, so 3 swings from your general would be lethal damage. My buddy and I are thinking it takes three swings because they are each comprised of three colors, but I haven’t been able to confirm that anywhere.

Chromium is the perfect voltron Commander. He might be a little pricey, being 7 mana, but his built in protection ensures he’s usually here to stay. By equipping batterskull (thus killing the germ), we can end the game in two swings. The only things that really slow us down are repeated board wipes or tons of artifact hate for our rocks. Fortunatey, with a bountiful suite of counterspells and the benefit of never having to tap out on our turn to play Chromium, we are typically able to protect him pretty easily.

One last important note, due to the way layering works with abilities and power/toughness modifiers, when you activate Chromium’s ability while a sword of x and y is equipped, he will lose the color protection granted by the swords, but will retain the power/toughness buffs and the sword’s ability will still trigger. When activating his ability, the only way not to lose the other abilities granted by equipment is to equip them AFTER he loses all abilities and gains hexproof and unblockable. Auras behave the same way.
