Commander (1)

---

This is a commander I really liked putting together. I happened to get Tajic on a booster and really liked him as a commander, because he is cheap to cast and is a human and a soldier, thing I was already fond of because of my heroic dudes. The heroic + strive combo was the first thing I got really into in MTG because I was initiated with the really awesome Journey into Nyx. Anyways, enough chat.

I would really like suggestions since I am a noob at it. I'll explain the combos I put together and my main strat with this commander so you can understand and help me better.

1) The obvious one: Anax and Cymede + Phalanx Leader instant with one strive extra cast and then +2/+2 + trample everybody. Anax is here to die, no intention of protecting him because I cannot bring him back with Alesha, Who Smiles at Death nor with Tethmos High Priest, but ma boi Phalanx I can;

2) The annoying one: Ancient Runes + First Response + Staff of the Sun Magus . Ancient Runes' main role is to punish equipment/modular/myr/etc enthusiasts, however since that's too specific I needed a better goal for it, so I made it trigger First Response whenever I put either of my magus staffs on play. I would also put a Obelisk of Urd but my generated tokens are soldiers AND warriors only, I do not generate human tokens so the creature type really trolled me here;

3) Aurelia, the Warleader + Gleam of Battle because Aurelia puts the 'A' in Aggro, DAYUM! Here if we combine the first combo with this one is +3/+3 + trample on the first turn and then it becomes +4/+4 without trample on the second combat phase. Probably since Aurelia is so expensive the combo combination would only happen in the late game, what isn't the goal with this commander.

Now I am going to explain some cards and how they work in this deck.

1) Errantry + Mogis's Warhound : Here I would pick a creature an opponent controls and enchant it with both this auras. Mogis would make it attack each turn and Errantry would make it the only creature that could attack, granting me with maybe two turns of kamikazing my creatures onto his/hers until I get Tethmos High Priest or Alesha, Who Smiles at Death. Worst case scenario at least I made him burn some instants/sorceries;

2) Aegis of the Gods: A must in this deck in my opinion for one main reason, he covers my weak spot since I depend on my hand and cannot afford to discard cards neither put cards from my library on my graveyard. Human, soldier, converted mana cost of 2 and 2 power. Give me a M, give me an U, give me a S and give me a T. lol Also Circle of Protection: Blue is here for this same reason, to avoid blue creatures that trigger card shenanigans with combat damage;

3) Angel of Glory's Rise: This hot lady is my Final Stand, my Second Chance, my Khaleesi, and that's why I ain't even mad she costs 7. If I get her soon, by the time I have to cast her I'll have the mana, if I get her in the late game same thing;

4) Goblin Kaboomist + Nyxborn Rollicker : Kaboomist is on this deck because of the Land Mine that can protect me if some Wrath of God or Supreme Verdict happens to be cast. He costs 2 and has 1 power so I can always get him back with Alesha or Tethmos, the problem was the last part of his card rule where he causes 2 damage to himself, I needed to do something about that so that's why Nyxborn is here;

5) Hardened Berserker: He is a plus on the Aurelia + Gleam combo since he can reduce my spell cost by two, granting me a cheap Pillar of Light, Phalanx Formation, Scale Blessing, etc.

That's pretty much it. Thanks for everyone that read this far. haha If you have suggestions please tell me!!! :D
