I will update the list as I get opinions and feedback. A few problems have arose, mostly at the sorcery speed reanimation being bad against control.
EDIT 2: A Rakdos version with Purphoros was proposed, and I figured Cavalier of Flame worked too (at least until rotation). Rakdos Decklist - https://www.mtggoldfish.com/deck/3044133#paper
This version doesn’t have Cyclone due to having less cyclers. Vilis, Broker of Blood could also be viable as a one or two-of, as a 8/8 flying threat that draws you cards when your opponents damage you or when you pay life to rea
Dumb post, don’t take idea too seriously, but I was browsing through new cards to use in Kykar, and remembered that [[Nesting Grounds]] is a new thing to abuse counters with (like moving a lifelink counter onto [[Aetherflux Reservoir]], for instance).
Anyways [[Pyromancer Ascension]] is a really good enchantment right? But it’s really difficult to put quest counters on it in a singleton format. I believe the only way to get counters on it in commander used to be with [[Spellweaver Volute]]?
But with Nesting Grounds, you can easily move quest counters from an easy source like a [[Quest for Pure Flame]] or [[Quest for Ancient Secrets]] or any of the Expeditions. You know, cards that would be
So a friend of mine pulled a foil showcase [[Erebos, Bleak-Hearted]], and I traded for it to use in my superfriends deck (since it lacks card draw and makes a bunch of tokens), but I felt like it would be such a shame to not use it as a commander.

Right now, it looks like the average Aristocrats deck. Token generators, sac outlets, death trigger payoffs.
I put in a few cards and left out a few cards; like using [[The Immortal Sun]] instead of Liliana planeswalkers since I had a spare Sun (though I know Dreadhorde General is really good in Aristocrats, and I might add her for her static ability). [[Vilis, Broker of Blood]] might be b
So I’ve been playing a new [[Kethis, the Hidden Hand]] superfriends deck, and it’s been pretty fun! (Current decklist)
He’s not exactly amazing, but I treat him like a mana dork or a way to sneak in an early Garruk, Apex Predator most of the time and can usually get him out by at least T3 without any problems (the deck’s not all that competitive so it’s not like I’m in a mad rush anyways).
It would probably be better to just run Atraxa so I get access to Deepglow Skate, Spark Double, Oko, Oath of Teferi, Oath of Jace, Narsets, Teferis, Tamiyos, Kioras, and Jaces. But I feel like Abzan gets access to enough of the support with Ajanis and a
This is less of a spoiler thread and more of a discussion of the new Elspeth Planeswalker. She’s the only card in the 33 spoiled so far that I think could have any impact on this format.
I’m curious to see what everyone else thinks about an Oathbreaker that can come back from the graveyard after it dies (and possibly one of few Oathbreakers that are okay with being sent to the graveyard).
Her abilities seem kind of tame, but her recurring nature and what her abilities do make me think she could be at the helm of some stalling deck that simply wants to outlive the opponents.
Thoughts?

Chandra is OP.
Now just hear me out. It’s specifically [[Chandra, Torch of Defiance]] that is OP, and that’s mostly due to how much support Chandras got recently, and partially due to how much instant mana red has access to.

Eldraine so far is giving us a ton of stuff that I think could be perfectly viable in Oathbreaker.
Let me just start off on what I think we could expect from Eldraine:
#Oko and Food Tribal
Oko, Thief of Crowns decks using Insatiable Appetite or Giant Opportunity as the SS. Food seems to be a pretty useful resource, and in green we have things like [Gilded Goose](https://s
I came here to brag about my collection of pans (and a few pots for those interested).
This is clearly not a pan-friendly environment.
Wizards reveals Fallen Shinobi
A 5/4 for 5 mana or 4 mana Ninjitsu that exiles the top two of damaged player’s library, letting you play cards without paying for them, a lá [[Silent-Blade Oni]].
Not only this, but Ninja Tribal has an honorary member in Changeling Outcast, a 1/1 unblockable no-blocking shapeshifter that gets [[Yuriko]] triggers without needing an [[Arcane Adaptation]] on board, a strictly better Tormented Soul in Ninja decks.
Yuriko is already really powerful, but she was never really run as a Ninja Tribal commander, instead just be
Having trouble building a deck? Can’t make those cuts and can’t squeeze your big 99-card EDH deck into a 58-card format? Don’t want dingdongs telling you to just netdeck? Brand new to Magic and have somehow stumbled upon one of our newest formats?
Well, similar to Oathbreaker’s big brother EDH, deckbuilding in a singleton format can be made easy by simple numbers.

6×6.
These are 6 piles of 6 cards, rather than EDH’s 8×8.
These piles each represent something that they’re supposed to do but there will always be three piles that are exactly the same: Draw, Ramp, and Removal. This is the same as in 8×8, but if you don’t know about 8×8 or you’re a troglodyte, then let me explain briefly.
