Aang Swift Savior or King T’Challa for competitive tempo brawl

Question

I’ve been playing a lot of azorious tempo builds in the competitive ladder and I’m really struggling to decide which of these two commanders is the best for a tempo build.

Aang is counter magic in the command zone, a way to buff my team, and has crazy good blink synergy with things like Parallax Wave and Dranith Magistrate.

King T is a card draw engine in the command zone and has a little more capability of coming out and punching harder and seems to play well with utility equipment like the swords of and permanents that give value of second card draw a turn.

I feel like Aang is the better option but that may just be because I’ve had more time playing him and fine tuning my list. T’Challa hasn’t had the chance to be built properly so far I think but im hesitant to devote wild cards to his build if he’s the weaker of the two.

What do you all think? I can post my deck lists of both builds if anyone needs to see them for better advice.
