Which commander do u guys think is the most competitive, {lord of tresserhor}, {doran the siege tower}, {kresh the bloodbraided}, or {ghave guru of spores}?
Thanks!

That is a very difficult question that might not have an answer.

Tresserhorn is extremely aggressive and if built right can deal lethal commander damage rather quickly. It's downfall is that tresserhorn himself is too threatening, and will get shut down very fast, very often. {oblivion ring}, {path to exile}, {Arrest}, or even flickered)

Doran requires a specialized deck of high toughness creatures, which are truly lethal when he is out. The good news is that Doran's cheap mana cost and your mass of walls makes it okay if he dies a few time, you have the defenses until you can get him back. But during that time you don't have him out, you are a canoe with no paddles.

Kresh is much like Tresserhorn. Very beat-face, and with a good deck can be very big, very fast. But suffers from the same pitfall of being a heavy removal target, and unfortunately when Kresh dies, all of his counters go away.

As for Ghave, it's hard to say. He's more versatile/utility than the others, and can be part of many different types of decks. He's less of a removal target, which is good, but he's less of a threat. His deck would be less based around him than the others, he would just add to it.

Gorzo I've never heard those legends be described quite like that. Bravo
You should start a column in commander to break a legend of user choosing, and describe all the does and dont's.

Sounds like fun actually, I'd be happy to take a crack at it tomorrow. Any commanders in particular anyone want me to dissect in great detail? :P

If you can do a breakdown of the three slivers than I would be ungodly happy.
