Last but by no means least we come to White, I was genuinely surprised by how many interesting effects that white has had bolted onto it's legends down the years and it further reinforces my idea that no-one really knows what to do with white at Wizards so they just keep throwing shit at it and seeing what sticks..... then go back to angels.
Without further ado here's the last handful of potential Commanders for you to start thinking of before I begin the mammoth task of working through all the 2 and 3 colour combinations and then who knows.
Eight-and-a-Half-Tails has a very white ability, he gives things protection from a colour, but he becomes interesting once you see his second ability and that a spell or permanent can be turned white. Combine this with his cheap cost, the cleric type and the fact he has his own groupies makes this a card that can create interesting game interactions.
Kentaro, the Smiling Cat has 25 buddies, including Changlings, to call upon to help him out and the colourless mana cost means you can pack in artifacts to crank out enough fast mana to flood the board. More importantly he looks like a mother fucking pimp. Just look at that face, he'd bang your mum and she'd like it.
Yomiji, Who Bars the Way makes a legend heavy deck running all the fancy pants, and boring, white legends much more aggressive as you can swing and trade your legends without too much worry, of course your opponents are free to do the same.....
Finishing the Kamigawa block's deathgrip on these articles is Celestial Kirin which allows you to blow shit up with your magic rocket space horse. With 98 ways to do that from CMC 1-8 you can blow up most things.....Who wouldn't want that?
General Jarkeld is old but he allows you to dick about with the whole game state with his build in combat dickery ability. While you'll never win games using him you can choose who does if you know what you're doing.
Mangara of Corondor abuses the commander respawn mechanic to RFG anything you don't like the look of. He's a surprisingly effective suicide bomber it must be said.
Join me next time as I start going through the combinations which allow you more options and fun as a commander player.
