With mods to the nature of the beast pre-made, I am having a mind ripping time about deciding my commander. I have 3 in line {mayael the anima} {marath will of the wild} and {Rith the awakener}. The basic layout is get big baddies out like {spear breaker behemoth}  {rampaging baloths} {protean hulk} etc out. However with {ulasht the hateseed} tokens producers also seem incredibly useful with Rith and {Xenagos the reveler}. I've just been cycling the commander for the various styles but want a solid champion. Also open to other suggestions of the same mana identity

Yeah, I just need to acquire more big beaters to really make it pop

I bought that deck, mayael shouldn't have been in there, she doesn't fit the flavor

Sorry random I know, but why not? She's an elf shaman who summons huge forest creatures, seems to fit pretty well. She's actually the one I choose out of the three commanders in that deck, IMO she's the most efficient.

IMO this was kind of the counterpunch of commander 2013, the reprinted commander for this deck should have been Rith, not Mayael, he fits the flavour better

Exactly what I have been thinking. Maybe the intent was for serious commander players to use thier own commanders. I haven't really been using my commanders at all. Even though Rith is more expensive, he fits better. However with a fat load of big beaters mayael lets the chaos of the game flow. Also allowing creature enters on opponents turn. I feel like I am smack dab in the middle of a jerry springer love triangle.
