@Podkomorka: I am actually working on something similar for the PDH subreddit but it would be good to have one here too. If anyone would like to start submitting I will add a section for deck submissions when I get off work.

Ruffigan - if that's the case, i would like to throw my hat in the ring for Walker of the Wastes and Burnished Hart. haven't updated them in a few months (i have actual copies, need to post the walker list though). been playing them for about 2 years. no expert by any means, but I do think the strategies are viable (NOT tier 1, haha. they never will be)

@Dreno33: Haven't played Walker but I love playing Burnished Hart. It works surprisingly well and is a challenge to navigate through a multiplayer game. 1v1 I might rather concede lol.

I don't think PDH needs a tier list but I like the idea of having everyones lists together. I also like some friendly competition for having your deck list take the spot for a commander.

@Podkomorka: I agree. The "Tier 1" section is dubbed for lack of a better name but I think it is important for new players to know which commanders they are likely to see if they play online to better prepare. Like adding reach to protect against Enigma Drake, Stormchaser Mage, etc, or grave hate against Peregrine Drake combo. I will think about that section as well and touch it up. Also, just want to add, giving consent for using your deck here I will also add it to the PDH subreddit list when that is ready. Probably not a problem for anyone though lol.

Transguild Courier's identity is colorless sadly.

@Podkomorka: It actually is, I guess I should update my rules to have the exact wording of the offical EDH rules. The official rules state that "A card's colour identity is its colour plus the colour of any mana symbols in the card's rules text." The Carrier's ability is in effect in all zones, including the command zone, so even though it does not have any colored mana symbols it is still considered a five colored creature because of its ability.

@Gattison: It seems alright but Spinebiter is better in my opinion.

Gattison says... #18

I can see that. Maybe Lone Wolf would be for when you aren't allowed to play Infect? lol

Anyway, thanks. =)

I'm going to try building a PDH deck around Lim-Dl's Paladin. maybe he fits in the list of Rackdos colored uncommon generals?it is a pretty unique card and you can build a graveyard themed deck but most fitting: a madness / flashback themed deck. (that's what I'm trying to make)

I think all the cool uncommon legends in Dominaria are going to be a godsend for this format. Grunn, the Lonely King alone gives us a green voltron build, not to mention maybe there is now uncommons that can dethrone Ascended Lawmage . I'm excited to see how this plays out.

Yea there is a handful of decent commanders, nothing insane though.

Tatyova, Benthic Druid looks really good.

Ruffigan I think what makes her so good is that she can function well in both formats. She's definitely a cool land matters commander for PDH and in regular EDH she nets you a potential card to use that land for. She'd be an interesting UG fatties commander.
