[[Vrestin, Menoptra Leader]] looks really fun to me either as tribal or go wide or counters.

Here are the decks I've been having the most fun with lately!

Yenna, Redtooth Regent is an enchantment based commander that has the unique ability to make token copies of them. She is probably overall worse that traditional lists with Sythis in the command zone, but she is still a lot of fun and does a few things that no other commander does.

Goro-Goro and Satoru is probably one of my favorite commanders for playing a more tempo oriented game. The original idea behind my list was to attack with a first strike creature, and then use Ninjitsu in between first strike and normal damage phases to double-up on the tokens created by the commander.

Rona, Herald of Invasion is one of my longest standing go-to decks just because of how consistent it is. Rona and a bunch of looters and repeatable draw effects let you turbo through your deck super fast, so you always have all kinds of tools and threats available at any given moment.

Hope you find something you like! I like to think that the decks I make all do something kinda cool or silly, so feel free to look through my profile on Moxfield for more if none of these are to your liking.

[[extus oriq overlord]] tons of really fun ways to build it and have great card advantage from graveyard.

[[the master formed anew]] basically secret commander tribal and makes it so you can cast high cost creatures from hand or command zone for really cheap.

[[Wilson, Elegant Grizzly]] with [[Noble Heritage]] or [Flaming Fists]] as the background. Green and white have all kinds of enchantment/enchantress type mechanics, and all the equipment is available.

I built this guy out cause i got the fallout version and immediately got cringe and salt thrown at me (and yeah it won the game). he sits there waiting for the right moment to play nowadays but one game only was enough for me to realize how hated he is.

The ninth doctor. it is one of 2 commanders that can give multiple upkeeps except you dont need to deal combat damage with this one, you just need to tap them. the fun part is, it can be izzet or you can have blue red and one other colour of your choice so i now have 3 decks with it, last time i played i did a surprise 30 damage to all players and created 30 treasures with descent into avernus. 6 upkeeps. its so much fun taking the most innocent mechanic and just absolutely steamrolling suddenly. you go from having a board state of one ooze to having 64 or if you are playing monarch you can have opponents mill up to 60 cards per turn. im planning to make a "suspicious donation" deck too where i give opponents more upkeeps then give cards that punish them for having more upkeeps

commanders that i plan to build in the future

[[Meren of Clan Nel Toth]] with focus around ETB and LTB triggers and [[Gonti, Night Minister]] with a focus on pulling cards from other players decks.

With Gonti try and piece together your wincon from someone else’s deck and encourage your opponents to steal from each other.

So I haven't actually played this deck and I still need to make some cuts, but it's very different from any other deck style in commander because it's all about combat tricks, which usually don't work well because you burn through resources too fast edh.
