My only problem with Avacyn as a commander is that she costs 8 👎

Um I don't think {arid Mesa} works in here.

Arid mesa is just a fetch land. Fetch lands thin deck. Plus shuffle etc. I don't know anything about commander so yeah. I picked avacyn because it's an angel deck primarily and indestructible everything? Yes please.

Is the mana cost that big of a deal? What about cheapy linvala at {2}{W}{W}?

Color identity of cards in Commander only care about mana symbols. {Arid Mesa} doesn't sport any mana symbols and therefore doesn't have a color identity.

Avacyn is cool, I agree, and can be playable in a somewhat casual metagame. Big creatures with big mana costs are usually the bread and butter of Commander, so it's not unthinkable for her to be your commander. Points to worry about: she draws attention when she hits the field, so you'll usually want to be able to survive and win against all of your opponents when she's out and about. Another thing is that she might be indestructible, but she is susceptible to bouncing, exiling and {Pasificsm}-tricks. And the attention she gets will make her a target for this. You mentioned her yourself and I think you might really want Linvala for commander. She comes out faster, draws a bit less attention and she stops a lot of annoying shenanigans from happening.

Good thought process. Like I said I never played a game of commander and have no idea so thanks for the advice.

{avacyn's mask} on {avacyn, angel of hope} solves the pacifism problem

No problem. :)
But don't be discouraged about Avacyn. I think that she's definately viable in a fun-driven and somewhat slower environment. And if you like her, then that's what's most important, IMO. Greg54js is right as well, lot'sa stuff can protect her in white and artifacts.

Ah btw, you have 100 cards plus your commander. The commander does count into the 100 cards total, so you'll have to cut something I'm afraid. :(
Edit: might I suggest {Angelic Voices}? You don't play artifact creatures to make it work, I think.

Jaxx I did a count he only has 98 cards not counting commander. Don't go by what the deck builder thing says it's normally wrong. Do your own count before calling someone out on this

Calling someone out? He was just saying what he say. Lmao.

Kuberr the same could be said about you lol.
Besides I've seen jaxx do the same to other people too and there was no issue when I did the actual count.

Very well, I was not aware that the count could be incorrect. I am aware of this now and will act accordingly in the future.
