Hey guys, any suggestions for a precon commander deck that would work well with the Warhammer 40K Necron precon? A friend is organizing a two-headed giant commander tournament and we're only allowed with any commander precon released to date.
I was thinking about an artifact-focused deck but most of these only affect my own graveyard and permanents. Then I thought about something more control-oriented like Inalla, but not sure if that would be the best course of action. Would appreciate some ideas.

Someone suggested to pair the Necrons with The Wise Mothman, but it seems a better deck that would benefit from the Mothman would be the surveil deck with Mirko, Obsessive Theorist so we ditched the Necron plan.

The Wise Mothman is pretty nutty. I haven't played against it first hand, but I've seen quite a few gameplay videos featuring it, & without upgrades it can still snowball pretty quickly. Mothman and Mirko would make for a pretty cool pairing.

I use some pieces from the Necron deck in my Glissa, the Traitor deck. It has a lot of artifacts going in and out of the graveyard, so those Necron cards were an easy slot in.
If you want to lean into a more staxy/control version, there are several additional cards that can work well with her (Torpor Orb, Smokestack, Tangle Wire, Grave Pact, etc)
I've got some of those in my version of Glissa. Shameless plug for my deck haha. Glissa, Traitor of Mirrodin [Artifact Primer]

I have a few recommendations for precons, based off my own experience playing upgraded versions of each of them. Although none of them are artifact based, I think they can serve as aggressive compliments to a deck which might be more durdley or combo-focused.
The Nalia de'Arnise Party PreCon is a lot of fun. I've had the deck for almost two years now, but swapped to have Burakos, Party Leader/Folk Hero as the commanders. It's a decent precon out of the box and can be pretty strong if upgraded. The nice thing is that you're bound to get new Clerics, Rogues, Warriors, & Wizards each set, so the deck has a pretty long shelf life if you decide to upgrade it.
I'd also recommend the Ellivere of the Wild Court precon. The deck plays fairly aggro and has a solid core of the cards you'd want for most Selesnya adjacent Enchantress strats. Similar to the last precon, I currently play it with Gylwain, Casting Director as the commander, since I think he encourages more of a go-wide strategy, compared to typical Enchantress Voltron builds.
