Standard Commander: Esika, God of the Tree
Sometimes you want to play a casual game of commander, but the table you are at has other plans. Here is a deck tech that allows you to play casually but allows you to pivot to a more competitive game if needed.
Drizzt Do’Urden Counters: Standard Commander
As a commander, he is a build around one and will not create insane board states that explode or devastate your opponent's side of the battlefield. His gain counters ability wants you to play Voltron, but there are better Voltron commanders than Drizzt. I would much rather have Sigarda, Host of Herons who has built in evasion and is difficult to remove than Drizzt as a Voltron commander. However, Drizzt is a commander you can work around to create a counters deck and add some mischievousness to your board. He is not the cause of the mischievousness but provides the framework for an alternative brew.

Today we look at Syr Gwyn, Hero of Ashvale.

Standard Commander: Ayara, First of (I Kill You) Locthwain
Ayara, First of Locthwain will be an excellent commander utilizing the aristocrat strategy in a new way. But how will you build it?
