Fungus general?

[JaxxLevia]

I've been thinking about making a fungus deck, concentrated on summoning fungi, creating saprolings and filling eventual spots with ooze. To that end I see Ghave as being a cool general, but since I'm more interested in fun over efficiency and I want it somewhat budget, I'm considering {Thelon of Havenwood} instead. What ya'll think?

You have to run ghave.. You can't use thelon because his ability has a mana symbol you can't produce with him as a commander..

You could do it if you had {mycosynth lattice} on the field, but that is still a bit of a gamble. I would probably stick with ghave but add the elf to the deck, personally

I'm pretty sure that whatever mana symbol appears anywhere on a legendary creature, not just in the mana-payment field, counts as the color-identity of the creature, in terms of EDH.

The color identity of a general is determined by what colors are in his or her CMC

Oh.. Okay so I haven't read those rules in awhile...

No worries, I feel like I learn something new about Magic everyday. Can't be aware of it all. But yeah, I guess Ghave would be the smart choice. He's just a little expensive around here.
