MTG List: Potential Commanders for Dillon

Cyncro


Description

Yisan has summoned you!

Hi Dillon!

This list is a list of cards that I have gathered and how I see them as relating to you in Magic in terms of how likely I think they would fit you, represent you etc. in Commander. I said I was going to suggest some stuff, so here it is. It should be noted that these cards are not the cards you like the most, you don't need me to tell you that. This is a MIXED LIST of card that I think you would enjoy flavorfully using, cards that represent you, and a combination of both and how good they would be in Commander (for you). Every card is Green in some way shape or form. I did this because I want you to have a Commander you really enjoy, because that will make the game more fun for both you, and the rest of us.

D TIER
Dwynen, Gilt-Leaf Daen
Surrak Dragonclaw

In the D Tier, are two cards that you are very familiar with. Dwynen is an elf, which fits you a bit, is mono green, has an elf tribal theme, and I think that's something you would get behind. However, she isn't insanely interesting, and I don't think she screams "Dillon Card" when I see her, but she fits enough that I would see you playing her. Surrak Dragonclaw is D Tier as well because his abilities don't see incredible for Commander, and he's three colors that I don't think you want to be playing in this format for THIS card specifically, but everyone knows you love Surrak.

C TIER
Derevi, Empyrial Tactician
Dragonlord Dromoka
Karametra, God of Harvests *f-etch*
Nissa, Vastwood Seer  Flip
Nylea, God of the Hunt
Polukranos, World Eater

Now here is a lot more cards. C Tier. Derevi is a bird wizard and in a color combination that is really interesting for you. I am not sure about his ability, but I could definitely see you playing him. He kind of looks like Kaepora Gaebora. Dragonlord Dromoka is obviously a card that makes me think of you, but she fits mostly in a hate style deck which is what you're trying to get away from I think. Karametra is a card that is yours as well but she doesn't seem interesting to play in Commander. The same applies to Nissa and Nylea as both would have no synergy in a Commander deck. Polukranos is an awesome card and I totally forgot he/she is legendary, but the idea of you choosing Polukranos as your Commander seems far since it is basically just a Hydra (though the ability in Commander seems super great. Ramp into a board wipe every turn? Wow).

B TIER
Dragonlord Atarka
Selvala, Explorer Returned
Sigarda, Host of Herons
Surrak, the Hunt Caller
Xenagos, God of Revels

Ah, the B Tier. Dragonlord Atarka is a good choice but his ability doesn't seem super relevant in Commander. Selvala on the other hand seems incredible in Commander for the "fun" factor. Building a Commander deck around her seems super exciting and the card is very pretty. I definitely think of you when I see her, if not for the artwork and colors alone. Sigarda is incredibly close to you as well but just like Dromoka, she plays a hate style deck and I don't think that's your thing right now. I think if you play a GW Commander deck, fit her IN the deck, but not as the commander. Surrak the Hunt Caller is here because he is the much cooler version of Surrak, Dragonclaw, though his ability seems irrelevant in Commander (maybe I am wrong?) but he is your boy. Xenagos is definitely at the top of B Tier because I feel like he might be super interesting in Commander, as well as a card I relate to you.

A TIER
Atarka, World Render
Doran, the Siege Tower
Titania, Protector of Argothfoil

Look at all this insane stuff. I am sure you've seen these cards before, and maybe you even thought they were cool, but didn't take them close to heart or whatever. Obviously you know Atarka. This Atarka seems much better in Commander. Voltron her, send her flying above the enemy lines, swing for 21+ Commander damage w/ Double Strike? Yeah. That sort of ramp/aggro strategy seems perfect for you to crush people with (and so so on the back of the coolest dragon in FRF). I'm pitching these next two cards to you.

Doran is basically just a giant tree. You're very green and nature-like. Doran is basically just the Great Deku Tree. His ability is also incredibly cool and I bet can create super dynamic and fun Commander games. I'm sure you'd love to jam a bunch of tough monsters in a deck (Courser, Brimaz) with his ability. And it's also Black, which opens up a new venue for you.

Titania. There is only one thing about this card that isn't you, and it's that she creates tokens. But look at her. She is a plant lady. Poison Ivy. She's beautiful. And her ability revolves around growing lands into big elemental creatures. This is a very you card. I want to say that, even though I talked about finding a creature you have a connection with (like Yisan) for me is important, there's no reason why you can't find something new to be connected to you. You just can't force it. There are so many ties with this card for you now that I feel like it would be a strong commander for you (both in power level and connection). Remember that as we move to the next section.

S TIER
Mayael the Anima
Yasova Dragonclaw

These are the two cards that I think are the most viable for you on this list. Yasova we have talked about over and over again, and I think you'd make an incredible Yasova Commander deck. It fits you perfectly, and she is an awesome character who you already have a bond with. But we know that. So let's move on to the other card.

Mayael the Anima is gorgeous. It is in the three colors that are most you (I think). She is an Elf. She herself is beautiful. The art is beautiful. She's surrounded by leaves and flowers. The card is absolutely a Dillon Deveney card, based on the aesthetics alone. But what about her ability? Slam creatures down from the library every turn? I mean, you already love to do that from your hand, why not do it from your library? You could keep finding GOOD creatures. Surrounded by creatures you really love all packed into one 100 card deck. Just let Mayael summon them to battle. Not to mention, YOU COULD PLAY ALMOST ALL OF THE CARDS ON THIS LIST IN A DECK WITH HER AS YOUR COMMANDER. BETTER YET, ALL OF THEM CAN BE SUMMONED TO THE FIELD USING HER ABILITY. This card doesn't only seem dumb strong on a power level scale, but I 100% see this card as one of the best choices for YOU as a player as well as a person. I don't know what else I can say. She's just awesome.
