Budget Will Riker Assuming Command Commander EDH

Versions (3)

This version drops the fair cards (Shuttle Crew, Abzan Battle Priest, Abzan Falconer, Picard, Leading by Example, Wingmate Roc, Felidar Retreat, Command Decision, Wrath of God, Thought Vessel, Kabira Crossroads) for white staples. Enlightened Tutor finds Teleportation Circle or Cathars' Crusade, Land Tax, Weathered Wayfarer and Ancient Tomb fix the mana, Esper Sentinel and The One Ring finally give the deck card draw, and Grand Abolisher plus Teferi's Protection protect the board through the turn you go wide. Solitude adds free removal that blinks nicely, and Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite turns a counters board into a one-sided wipe. Strengths: consistent and resilient, with strong protection. Weaknesses: no fast combo, so it relies on combat and can lose races to faster decks. Target level: optimized, WotC Bracket 4.
