Mr House is the commander of my deck "Dice Dice, Baby." All the D&D jank, a few artifact support cards from 40k & Dr Who, toss in an Unfinity Attractions supplemental deck, and we got us a killer casino experience to bring to the pod. I can even look or play the part for added surrealism.

Lonis is very fun to play as generally, so long as your opponents aren't continually wrathing, is able to remain under the radar quite well until you are able to pull some wacky plays as well as winning out out nowhere. Though often when going infinite you end up finding a wincon out of your opponents deck and playing it against them by using lonis's ability to play all permanents from their decks.

I've have a lot of fun building my second doctor "grouphug" deck. I feel like he also somewhat meets the criteria of me benefitting the most. Right now I'm focusing on a Ryan Sinclair version as I didn't want to combo win with Donna Noble. It's all about monarch(thinking of adding initiative), pillowfort, and amassing power in a faceup way. I want it to be like a kingdom slowly getting ready for war. The Leela version is pretty consistent if you add more forced draw cards but definitely is a bit weak as the politics just dont work out. The vislor deck seems like it could be a blast but honestly probably better off doing something like the 12th doctor and giving the last copy away through another card. I might just go the 9th doctor/clara direction eventually. I'l love to see yall tackle a doctor who deck!

I like the idea of Lonis, to be honest. I play in a more cedh environment, but Shrieking Drake, Lonis, Intruder Alarm, and Aluren, if unchecked, you get to put all nonland permanents from all your opponents' decks into play lol. Might be a fun thing to do at some point. Throw in a sac outlet for funsies.

The Atla Player went infinite w a maskwood nexus and goblin bombardment. He kept sacking eggs and small creatures until he had the big dinos he wanted. Now I hate this commander and Naya lol.

I have so much fun with lonis Also brudiclad is so enjoyable in a janky sort of way for doing cloning shenanigans. I really like to combo him with esix to make a bajillion clones of whatever creature I want. I have both brudiclad and esix in the 99 of my Rashmi and Ragavan deck and I usually just use them to make a bunch of treasure tokens with her ability. Lonis is also in the 99 of that deck too because brudiclad can also get me a bunch of clue tokens

What i really like about my own Kynaios and Tiro deck is that it's really liberating to play. You always get under the radar, you play your group hug pieces, and people like to have you around. What i also love to do is that towards the end of the game, when it's just me and another opponent (It happens often due to the fact that people leave me alone, and underestimate the face i can't win with this deck), i evaluate them : If they were a good sport to me throughout the game, i let him win, and if they were rude to me or other players i use my reins of power, or my approach of the second sun to win. It really spices up my games, and it's also very relaxing to not have to actually think about winning too much.

However, Shields of Velis Vel can't be flipped off the top and serves to crack a whole new set of monsters if that's the route you want to go. Personally, I like Eerie Interlude and friends to just dodge board wipes completely :)

There are so many great options for fun like Ghalta and her big creatures, Aragorn the uniter/optimus prime for those who love recognizable characters, and who could forget Krenko, Mob Boss with his unenending horde of 1/1 goblin tokens? With the joy of commander, there's fun for everyone!

I dislike playing against Pantlaza, it's always ramp then waves of discover. Because it's ETB, killing it just gives it back to them to discover again without needing another dinosaur. So many similar builds of it on arena brawl that I've started just immediately conceding and finding a new match.

I don’t really see a ton of distinction between Atla Palani and just going Scary Bodies w/ some Cascade setup, though. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a neat concept, but it’s not really anymore “earned” than cheating out an Apex Devastator and going “Weeeeee!” That reminds me of one of the guys at my LGS who kept sacrificing Apex to a Phyrexian Altar, playing another big cascader, and then reanimating Apex. Only worked the one game, but sooooooo gross! Sorry, Golgari flashback.
