Suggestions wanted: Unusual Commander

[WWolfe]

Wanting to build a new EDH deck, but I want to build around a commander that not many people use and am looking for suggestions. With that said, I do ask that the suggestions not include some of the old vanilla legendary creatures...not saying they have to have super abilities to build around as I realize those are the popular commanders that get built around the most, just want something to work with other than color scheme.

I have two I am trying to work with and may work with you, neither are nothing special.
First is Daxos of Meletis, trying to work enchantments with him. He is fun for life gain
and casting other peoples stuff. Also a 3 drop and he hits the field quickly. As you buff
him, he can't be blocked by big creatures.

Second is more interesting and difficult He is Dromoka, the Eternal. Get him out quick and
attacking, he buffs everything including himself if he is the only one on the field.
Would work well with doubling season and an equipped inquisitor's flail.

Dromoka may be interesting and makes the list of possibilite, I already have a Daxos of Meletis I built 2 years ago.

Some good creatures I've noticed are as follows: Azusa, lost but seeking, Cho-manno, revolutionary, and Darigaaz the igniter would be interesting commander choices.

[WWolfe]

Darigazz could be interesting. That definitely makes the list of potentials.

A guy at my LGS suggested Rosheen Meanderer.

I've been working on a defender-eque mill deck using Phenax, God of Deception  (Eater of the Dead is a nice combo piece for it. A surgical extraction is what I use to remove any old eldrazi titans that appear.)

I also wanted to trt a Traid of Fates deck, but that's a but more finicky.

[WWolfe]

I was looking at Triad of Fates as well, that ones a little tricky. I may try it down the road at some point but I just built a WB Daxos deck.

At the moment, the list of possibilities includes:
* Dromoka, the Eternal (GW)
* Darigaaz the Igniter (BRG)
* Rosheen Meanderer (RG)

Once I get up to five options I'll start narrowing it down to one.

[G. Moto]

Another few options would be: Gaddock teeg, kaervek the merciless, Karador, ghost chieftain, Krond the dawn clad, and munda ambush leader (his effect would work great since you're running a 99 card +1 deck).

I'm working on a Ruric Thar, The Unbowed EDH deck. It's kinda fun trying to use mostly creatures to do what you would normally want non-creature spells to do.

How about Kruphix, God of Horizons  makes for the perfect mana bank. Also Ayli, Eternal Pilgrim I know another sac engine
but done with creatures toughness. Who else hmmm I own? Straight up blue sac engine, Jalira, Master Polymorphist.
This be fun Tasigur, The Golden Fang if you are into delve plus 3 colors. Narset, Enlightened Master and cast stuff for free,
Atarka, World Render if you want to go dragons. Ojutai, Soul of Winter another dragon but could be built around his
lockdown/tap target creature with other lockdown/tap target creature cards.

Maybe Trostani, Selesnya's Voice in a deck where cards get bonuses from having extra life. Felidar Sovereign is a good example of what I mean.

Zurgo Bellstriker, When I first saw him I thought he was basically garbage, but as a commander he has some great potential for getting that commander damage in.

Mono white EDH with Lin Sivvi, Defiant hero control...

I should probably make that deck

[WWolfe]

Alright, the five finalists are...

* Dromoka, the Eternal (GW)
* Darigaaz the Igniter (BRG)
* Rosheen Meanderer (RG)
* Lin Sivvi, Defiant Hero (W)
* Zhuge Jin, Wu Strategist (B)

Thoughts on which one?

[Jace27]

I think you should do Lin Sivvi. I already made a Rosheen Meanderer EDH deck, but if I hadn't, I could have chosen it possibly. Lin Sivvi lets you get out any rebel in you deck provided you can pay its CMC. In addition, you can run board wipes for situations where the game is out of hand.
