I feel another reason Abzan is so low is that among its (comparatively few as you pointed out) options it is not very varied or flexible. With a couple of exceptions like Doran, every single Abzan commander does stuff with counters, reanimation, or both, and Karador and Ghave are already the best in these colors to do these things, so Abzan commanders new and old get passed over because they're unoriginal and there is a clear better option already in these colors

I think the Miirym popularity just comes down to people finding dragons really cool and the other face commander for the Tribe costs way too much. Miirym lets everyone play with their cool favourite tribe! Its less about how good it is or what type of decks you make with it, it wins out on coolness factor alone, people just like dragons.

@winterborne1_

Another reason for Miirym’s popularity is the ease of transition from either the Draconic Dissent precon or the Draconic Destruction precon. You are only adding one color to your color identity, and since lands are the most expensive cards to upgrade, switching from Atarka or Firkraag to Miirym isn’t going to break the bank as much as Ur-Dragon.

I am honestly impressed by the creativity of the people coming up with commander meachnics. the new commanders especially often come with such intricate ideas, its awesome!

I was expecting you to mention Jodah, the Unifier when you talked about 5-color commanders. This commander is just broken, but so much fun to play. I saw that it was actually #6 on the WUBRG most popular list. Fun video. I have been trying to only build decks that are outside of the top 100 on EDHREC.

Way to go Dimir! I run rotclever in my dimir zombie deck and he’s pretty darn solid. If I had a scarab god, I’d have him as the commander, but rotclever definitely puts in the work.

This channel has the coolest video ideas- love to follow it daily

Dimir is also by far the most common among my commander decks, with Sultai as a close second. Black and Blue are just that good!

The thing that stuck out with Dimir, to me at least, is the fact that most of them were tribal commanders at the top. Ninjas, Rogues, and Zombies. There's not a whole ton of great commander options for those tribes. Especially not ninjas or rogues. Zombies do have Varina, Lich Queen, which gives you white (lowkey a great add to the tribe). But, that's got to help Dimir.

I think you might be misunderstanding Miirym and his popularity. It’s not that it’s the best or particularly synergistic, but it might be one of the top 3 easiest commanders to build and play due to the raw power a lot of dragons have. If you put ONLY whatever cards you can afford with “dragon” in it you’re already better off than like 70% of casual decks. There’s payout for including the expensive stuff (and plenty of people in this hobby are into that). And you can take it even further when you realize there are other literally any other cards in this color identity. “Me like dragon. Dragon cool, strong. Get dragon. Get more dragon. Win game.” - Miirym players

I enjoy running mono black with Liliana Heretical Healer as my commander and Bolas (red, blue, and black) with Nicol Bolas, Dragon God for my commander. Lot of tactical choices.

It has mostly junk in it yet it's fun and surprisingly stronger than what its price is. I'm very happy that Yuriko is so popular. I begun playing mtg during the Saviours of Kamigawa set. I liked the block despite it being generally disliked and ninjas were one of my favourite tribes. It's nice to see them becoming so widely played after so many years.

roon of the hidden realm is my favorite deck always been a fan of flicker deck

I know not everyone is crazy (thinks like an engineer in terms of statistics) but there are 2 things that stand out in what you have here, but it took me 2 watches to come to this. First, the bulk of these decks - like from 20 all the way to 7 - are all between 40k & 50k decks; anything within 5% of another combo is reasonably equal. Apart from that, most decks fall into 1 of 2 categories; 1, deck color held up by 1 or 2 commanders, or 2, 5 or more popular commanders (no single commander >25%). Big Delta's in the % difference between colors is the main differentiator but the number of viable commanders within the color indicates the 'health' of that color

Abzan suffers for the reason Mardu is #3, diversity of commanders. I build primarily Mardu decks and have since I first build Edgar Markov from scratch. I’ve since build Licia, Queen Marchesa, and Kelsien. Each one plays vastly different from one another and has very little overlap of cards. I’m already theory crafting at least two other decks and still have several other options. When you look at Abzan options, you have counters matters, some graveyard, treefolk tribal, Kethis (why you wouldn’t use a 5-color Legendary matter deck is beyond me) and Mrykul. In fact Mrykul is so different, that is surmise that this is what is driving it’s popularity. I expect the new angel, Ixhel, will be fairly popular too, but still, it deals with counters. Black, green, and white all gain life. Where’s the lifegain commander? Where are the unique commanders like Mrykul that do things no one else does? As much as I love my Mardu decks, the distribution of commanders is completely uneven.

I'm just looking at my decks, and I've got quite a bit of a range. This list includes current decks and those still under construction. Grixis/Esper/Jeskai/Azorius/Dimir/Gruul/Orzhov/Simic/Izzet/White/Blue/Black -- NONE (As you can tell, I'm not a big fan of Blue) Five Color -- Monarchy (Kenrith), Cascade (The First Sliver), Superfriends (Esika or Jared), Green Devotion Elementals (Horde of Notions), Legendary Dragons (Ur-Dragon), Yes! (Garth), WUBRG Matters (Jodah), Gates (Golos - Rule Zero), Godzilla Augments (Surgeon General Commander), Temur Hydras (Progenitus - White/Black splash) Four Color -- No-White Landfall (Yidris), No-Blue Saprolings (Tana/Ravos partners) Naya -- Eggs (Atla Palani) Jund -- Lhurgoyf Beats (Lord Windgrace), No Food Chain Kobolds (Prossh) Bant -- Enchantments (Estrid), Walls (Arcades) Abzan -- Walls (Doran), Orzhov Reanimator (Karador - Green splash) Sultai -- Let it Snow (Jorn), Face Down (Kadena) Mardu -- Battle Cry Beats (Isshai) Temur -- Infinite Warp Worlds (Riku) Rakdos -- Devils (Raphael) Selesnya -- Cats (Nazahn), Archers (Caleria), Hatebears (Gaddock Teeg) Golgari -- Squirrels (Chatterfang) Boros -- The Factory (Toggo/Rebbec partners) Mono-Red -- Beg, Borrow, Burn (Grenzo or Krark/Kediss partners) Mono-Green -- Shamans (Sachi)

Miirym is in my Tiamat deck. It is the 1st card I grab when I cast Tiamat. I agree that alone it is a not a great commander but apart of a dragon tribal 99 it is essential.

Surprised the new Jodah wasn’t mentioned in the 5 color section. Came out in Dominaria United and already has 6700 decks which is absurd

I am honestly surprised then not surprised Abzan isnt as popular as most decks. White and Green are obviously mainly creatures and some buff and field effects, and with Black who can do a lot of graveyard shenanigans as well as use said creatures as sac fodder, I realize the big weakness of Abzan. It hates creature boardwipes, reanimation counters, and graveyard destruction. And guess what 2 color combos love both? Rakdos Izzet Golgari Orzhov and Boros. Selesneya isnt as bad since it mainly deals with just creatures which can then be brought back through Black, Azorious gets overrun by huge creatures, Dimir can only prevent the inevitable for so long, and Simic or Gruul are probably the best 2 colors to wall Abzan since both have gigantic creatures, tons of tokens, and the ability to punish with extra mana.

I run Abzan, very underrated color combination and fairly challenging build. Anafenza, Tha Foremost (Fearless) is my commander of choice. I force people in my play group to respect her at all costs.

This video should get an update for 2024

Lathril makes sense since elfball is super easy to build. Kinda like Krenko goblin easy to build.

Dimir makes sense to be Yuriko is one of those commanders that cheat the commander tax, and the effects can just make you win with 1 attack depending on all the cards off the top. Plus you can play thassa oracle regardless of casual or cEDH because commander is still a game and still about winning. Kennrith is only popular because people had to stop playing Golos and didn't want to dismantle their Uber deck.

I LOVE the state of color balance now. It really is too bad that people tend to chase public perceptions of color combos still, and/or build with cheesy commanders.

Dimir being the most popular guild was a bit surprising, until I thought about the Thoracle combo in cEDH. Dimir also seems to offer the most unique strategies in Commander.

Green is my fav color but mardu is my fav 3 color combination

Tiamat and Miirym are my favorite commanders and they don't have to be built as just "hurr durr, big dragon, turn sideways". You can put some actual strategy into these decks and win in ways your opponents don't expect. Make a mountain of treasure tokens using [[Old Gnawbone]] but not even spend any of them. Instead I'll just play [[Renari, Merchant of Marvels]] and pass. When it comes around to my turn I'll just play [[Hellkite Tyrant]] on your end step to win the game on my upkeep. Use [[Ancient Gold Dragon]] to make a bunch of 1/1 Faerie Dragon tokens then play [[Terror of the Peaks]]. Opponents will think your did that in the wrong order and let you get away with it. Then next turn play [[Utvara Hellkite]] and swing with all your 1/1's making that many 6/6's. Or just use [[Scion of Draco]] with [[Tiamat]] and [[The Ur-Dragon]] on the battlefield and turn into a lifegain deck.

I play white 👀 its tricky! The tribal decks i play are:- knights, angels & phyrexian elesh norm. 😂 yup. Thats 3x different decks; not 1x lol.

miiriym imo is that popular mostly because every other commanders that represents the dragon tribe are either meh or way too expensive, and she's also got a hell of an amazing etb, especially with all the dragons card that can ping like terror of the peaks and others.

Not having any restrictions at all is not my reason to run a 5 color commander deck. In fact, I use Jegantha as a companion in my Sisay deck, making it the deck with the most building restrictions I own due to the companion requirements.

The biggest surprise to me was thinking Wubrg was the most popular commander color then when we reached number rank 2 wondering what was number 1. Forgetting about WUBRG.
