Wouldn't that only work for Karametra, God of Harvests?

That seems like a great fit! I had no idea magic even had cards that protected against spells but not abilities. Thanks!

While it doesn't give Hexproof, Shroud or Indestructible, I think Spellskite fits here. Because you can pay life instead of mana, you can almost always redirect a target from the commander to Spellskite.

I absolutely agree! I should probably include Kira, Great Glass-Spinner too, right?

I think it's also good. Because it's some kind of protection, with no additional mana required. While it's sometimes easy to get around, it's not always working if the opponent doesn't have anything to waste targeting the general before casting their removal. But on the other side, it doesn't pair well with all other protection cards. You would have to pay to equip Darksteel Plate if the first target get countered... I think.

Because you already included Indestructibility, I also wanted to point that all totem armor aura (like Eland Umbra, Bear Umbra, etc.) and Umbra Mystic are quite similar.

Thats a great point! The umbras will be added as well, but Umbra Mystic is a bit too unreliable to make the list.

What about Saffi Eriksdotter ?
It's almost a Selfless Spirit or Dauntless Escort.
It doesn't work exactly the same and target a single creature (the commander), but you get new 'enter the battlefield' triggers and it works against sacrifice effects like Celestial Flare.

Lol, I think you might have just broken the record for the largest amount of worthy suggestions on any of my lists. xD
Yes, Saffi and other cards like her will make the list as well.

Thank you.
I'm just adding cards I think of, or cards I'm playing. I will try to find more missing cards.
All your lists will be useful eventually, for me or anybody looking to build commander decks.
Keep up the good work. :)

Okay, I think I have another weird one. Captured by the Consulate.
Basically it protects your general against spot removal by redirecting the target on something else.
Technically we could almost include Grip of Chaos too, because your opponent needs some luck to hit the right target at this point.

Captured by the Consulate and Grip of Chaos are both fantastic additions! I'll have to see what cards are similar to them and add them all during my next update! Thanks again! :D

In the same style, Goblin Flectomancer can change the target of a removal spell.
That would also be true for Perplexing Chimera.
They are like a single use Spellskite.
Why am I still the only one commenting on your list ?! lol

Iron_Cube, as always, fantastic suggestions!
Uskebasi, unfortunately those go against the first point under "What this list doesn't include" in the description. The reason that this list doesn't include cards that require mana to be paid at instant speed is because those cards are only effective when you have mana open, and with so many cards that don't require you saving mana just in case, why include cards that ask you to not use all available mana?

Would that include Pact of Negation, Force of Will, Disrupting Shoal, etc. ?

Do you include regeneration cards? Blessing of Leeches is great in Black!

Dacenguy, Yeah regenerate is fantastic in this list. In addition, I will add spells that grand protection too.
