If you intend to use Sigarda, Heron's Grace as a commander, consider abandoning the counters strategy entirely and focusing on tribal synergy. I like this board clear, and obviously, this could be quite a powerful effect, but it costs 6, and you have the potential to lose some creatures as well. It does synergize with the commander pretty well though.

This is a sort of durdle card, but in that sense pretty powerful, generating huge amounts of mana for power is quite useful, and this one allows you to generate mana of any color, most of the tap for x mana equal to power only generate green mana, but for infinite combos like Pemmin’s Aura or Freed from the Reel, blue mana is required. Also potentially quite strong with Kenrith, Returned King.There are a few cards that either don’t fit exclusively into one of the previous headings, or deserve their own section because of their incredible utility. The Lord of the Rings: Tales of Middle-Earth Spoilers — June 6 | Legendary Kraken, Orzhov Spirit Commander,

Again, either of these commanders are technically humans, but Kyler is going to be the one with the most synergy with the strategy. Giving himself a +1/+1 counter whenever a human enters is better than anything Leinore does with Humans.card draw; Leinore, Autumn Sovereign, Wall of Mourning, Inspiring Call, Shamanic Revelation, Lifecrafter's Bestiary Some of these cards might be geared more toward Limited play. If you can find a home for them in Commander, though, good for you! What to Take Out The two enchantments Death’s Presence and Citadel Siege offer us the possibility to shift tokens on creatures after their death or to put new ones on creatures. Undead Unleashed is all about zombies and sacrifice effects. The idea is to have cards like Undead Augur in play when you sacrifice your creatures. You also have token-generating effects like Army of the Damned to provide you with enough expendable creatures to sacrifice.

This next idea involves Creatures that can change their power autonomously. If you have something like Managorger Hydra, Forgotten Ancient, or even Luminarch Aspirant, you don’t have to worry too much about meeting the requirements for Coven. These Creatures will have so much power that you will be unlikely to have another Creature that matches them. Big CreaturesThe 14 spells and four enchantments give us a multitude of possibilities for action. Weapons of mass destruction Even so, I understand that this conception can be totally arbitrary, besides probably having forgotten one card or another that could easily have made it to the final list. If you think of something I forgot, I'd love to know what it is.

Its high cost gets in the way of creating a game around it a bit, as most likely there aren't many mana left to put more humans on board after casting it, leaving it vulnerable to any removal before it has a chance to have some impact. Undead Unleashed is a little bit more nuanced than Coven Counters, and I like it. Zombie fanatics will be pleased to see Wilhelt, the Rotcleaver, an interesting commander that opens the door to all sorts of combo synergies out there. This is potentially a pretty big card, grabbing a ton of lands. Elves ramp nicely into this, especially since the hierarchs exactly ability lasts until end of turn, and they have 0 power, you can pretty easily manipulate what powers you have between 0 power hierarchs and elves, and then “normal” mana dork elves that are 1/1.

Lost Caverns of Ixalan Spoilers — October 24 | Quintorius Planeswalker, New Cascade and Token Tripling!, That doesn’t mean that these upgrades are going to necessarily be expensive. However, some cards might end up being a little pricey, and I don’t want to exclude them solely for that reason. This combos decently with the commander, and lets you swing no matter what, but since it’s conditional on it being your turn it’s of limited use in my opinon. Humans who aren't scared of the dark Humans who aren't scared of the dark Humans who aren't scared of the dark On the whole, going hard on +1/+1 counters isn’t a terrible way to build, but it’s also not terribly strong either. One plan is to use it go wide, buffing up a bunch of medium creatures. But to get to 40 damage is going to mean that you need a lot of +1/+1 counters to drop on 2/2s and 4/4s, and you need to keep them on the board. Granted there are some creatures that give +1/+1 for every +1/+1 they get, and other similar effects. There are also counter doublers, like doubling season. So okay, you can generate a lot of counters, and there are some cards that just care about counters, like Tayam, Luminous Enigma. Tayam is in Abzan colors. Hm… hold that thought.
