Finally, the Big Mana deck of the bunch, Biomechan Engineer, who says at the end of the turn cycle they'll casually draw 2-6 more cards, filling up on rattlesnake effects and counterspells to make hitting them always seem like a bad move

Sami can be aggressive, but they just want bodies on the board getting tapped, and preferably staying alive- you can cast convoke spells, crew a vehicle and jam with it, activate sunshot militia, whatever you do your board gets a little bigger for next time

While Seedship Broodtender is doing something a little different - setting up undergrowth, gathering tons of bodies in the yard to have your choice of big guy like Moldgraf Millipede or just take someone off the map with Lotleth Giant

That isn't changing with Mm'menon, running izzet artifacts to go for commander damage in the air while using the etbs or activated abilities of your artifacts to make a clear attack and set up your hand to protect them and do it again next turn

Syr Vondam I've seen less love for, but Battlecry that also gives deathtouch with a squad of little guys, potentially ones that already replaced themselves, is gonna make heads roll - Something I'm noticing about all of this is how aggressive all of these are so far, how they drive you to FIGHT

People have talked about this Haliya in the PDH scene so much - She gives counters, she draws you cards when your counters hit face, the deck is easy, you go big and wide and something will get in there

It's SO easy to get tannuk to trigger twice in a turn at least, between all the evolving wilds and rampant growths and harrows you can run, you can probably do it on a few of your opponents turns too

Incerceptor Mechan inspires me to make a grindy aggressive deck that wants to attack every turn whether its creatures will survive, backed up by grave flicker and combat tricks

Alpharael leading a selection of madness and flashback spells, unearth creatures, synergistic artifacts, and ways to get those artifacts back, letting the cards you can use never just be whats in hand

Station Monitor could be a tempo deck trying to doublespell often and count all your drones and baubles for things like all that glitters to surprise the board by taking out two players at once

These 10 would probably make a really fun Pauper Commander Battlebox - I think you could have a good time walking into an LGS where nobody knows what the format is and show off how it's different from regular commander in a good way

Troika is a really cool game with a lot going on worth thinking about - I've been on a Wanderhome kick recently, which is much more cozy

I've *gotta* know what you're prepping - and also, the uncommon backgrounds and background commanders are Pauper Commander Legal; I'm fiddling with Safana and Far Traveller right now for Dungeon Stuff, but I've had more success with Scornful Aether-lich and Rilsa Rael.

So far, there's a bunch of final fantasy mtg cards I plan to get as merch, but not a lot I wanna play with in competitive environments... And honestly I think that's for the best.
That said I will be making both Tonberry and Fang in PDH, and everyone is going to learn how much I commune with beavers

Keep it a secret from my local players but I've been workin on my next deck - mono black party aggro.

Oh yea and in PDH I run either Gorex or Hailstorm Valkyrie depending on how many removal spells I want to play

I've been wanting to make Hydromancer for a while, but I could never build around it in a way that felt "Good" to me; Next two on my to-do list are Tura Kennurid and Savai Thundermane, which I think are going to be nice and chill
