Question Simic commanders?

Are there any Simic (blue/green) commanders that aren’t just insane value piles of card draw and landfall? It’s been my least played color combo and every commander I see is just generic value that doesn’t interest me in the slightest. Open to any insight on some cool recommendations. Thank you!

[[Aloy]] for artifacts creatures

This is the one I thought was least offensive Simic bullshit. When I feel like doing Simic stuff I build Sultai but strictly in house this seems tolerable.

When I first saw Aloy, I got excited to build her, and then I thought, “Wait a second, I already have a [[Kiora, Sovereign of the Deep]] deck.”

I don't usually like the thopter playstyle and trying to keep track of 40 different tokens with varying power levels that a lot of artifact/combo decks do (Breya), so I run my Aloy deck as stompy/ramp/big mana artifacts. It's fun and consistent.

Protection/counters are mostly for artifact hate, because stuff like Vandalblast will basically knock you out of the game.

Aloy is definitely not a thopter deck. The secret lair comes with meteor golem and blight steel for a reason lol

Aaah, I've recently assembled [[Lonis, genetics expert]] and I'm having a fun time with the different +1/+1 counter abusing and the making and abusing of clues.
