This is the third entry in this series, looking at some fun potential commanders from different sets. Today, it’s time to look at Wilds of Eldraine. This was a cool set, which I really like. I’ve already build one deck using a WOE commander. Namely, this was my Eriette of the Charmed Apple deck.
So, I’ll be skipping that commander and focusing on others that I have not yet built.
5. Agatha of the Vile Cauldron
Colour Identity: Gruul (R/G)
The Gist: A power-scaling discount engine. The higher you pump her power with cheap equipment or +1/+1 counters, the cheaper the activated abilities on your other creatures become, reducing costly utility effects, token generators, and firebreathing down to a single mana.
Why it’s interesting: Agatha flips standard Gruul Stompy on its head by acting as a power-scaling discount engine for activated abilities. Equipment, +1/+1 counters, and pump spells (Rancor, Giant Growth) boost her power, which in turn reduces the activation costs of creatures like Soul of New Phyrexia, Kiki-Jiki, or firebreathing/mana-generating creatures down to a single mana. It turns underused activated-ability creatures into high-frequency combo pieces.
4. Rowan, Scion of War
Colour Identity: Rakdos (B/R)
The Gist: A high-risk, self-harm storm enabler. She translates every point of life you lose on your turn (from painlands, Necropotence, or pay-life spells) into a massive generic mana discount, letting you drop game-ending X-spells like Torment of Hailfire for almost free.
Why it’s interesting: Rowan enables some of the most explosive, high-risk storm turns in all of Rakdos. Pain lands, fetch lands, card-draw spells that cost life (Necropotence, Ad Nauseam, Toxic Deluge, Wall of Blood), or self-damage triggers fuel her ability. Losing 10–15 life in a single turn translates to a 10–15 generic mana discount on your spells, letting you drop massive X-spells (Torment of Hailfire, Crackle with Power, Exsanguinate) to wipe out the entire table on turn 4 or 5.
3. Obyra, Dreaming Duelist
Colour Identity: Dimir (U/B)
The Gist: A flash-speed Faerie burn engine. She converts every flying token or instant-speed Faerie you drop into guaranteed, unblockable table-wide ping damage, letting you hold up counterspells while draining life totals on opponents’ turns.
Why it’s interesting: A low-cost, 2-mana aggressive Faerie tribal burn engine. Because she has Flash, you can drop her right before your turn or hold up mana for instant-speed Faerie generators (Bitterblossom, Faerie Tauntings, Spellstutter Sprite, Feywild Caretaker). Opponents quickly find themselves taking 4–6 damage per orbit passively just from you building a flying board state, giving Dimir a fast, tempo-driven burn style.
2. Talion, the Kindly Lord
Colour Identity: Dimir (U/B)
The Gist: A passive tax-and-draw battery. You name 2 or 3 as he enters, turning the most popular mana costs in Commander into a perpetual engine; every time an opponent casts a staple rock, dork, or removal spell, you ping them and draw a card.
Why it’s interesting: An incredible psychological tax commander in Dimir. In Commander, choosing 2 or 3 will trigger Talion constantly throughout a match, as the vast majority of cheap utility spells, mana rocks, dorks, counterspells, and commanders sit right in that bracket. Talion passively draws you a fresh hand while wearing down life totals, requiring zero additional mana investment to generate massive value.
1. Beluna Grandsquall
Colour Identity: Temur (G/U/R)
The Gist: A self-refill engine for Adventure tribal. You cast her bottom-half spell from the command zone to pull a fresh hand of modal Adventure spells off the top of your deck, then drop her as a creature to discount those exact spells for rapid-fire casting.
Why it’s interesting: Beluna is a dedicated Adventure tribal commander that turns your deck into an endless card-advantage toolkit. Because you cast her Adventure spell first directly from the command zone, she refills your hand with multi-modal spells before hitting the board to discount them. Pairing her with cards like Lucky Clover and heavy-hitting Temur Adventures (Bonecrusher Giant, Fae of Wishes, Bramble Familiar) creates a highly flexible, spell-heavy toolbox strategy.
