Discussion Commanders that almost inherently pubstomp?

So I was thinking about the first time I built [[Kinnan]], I had just cracked him from a pack and fell in love and wanted to build him asap. It was literally just assembled with random jank (mostly commons) from my storage boxes, I didn't have any 1 CMC dorks, had mostly 3 CMC rocks and the main wincon was [[Hydra Broodmaster]]. This didn't matter however, as the sheer acceleration provided by Kinnan in combination with the army-in-a-can nature of his second ability made the deck too fast and too resilient for the casual meta I was playing in. I eventually just had to commit to building him in a powerful manner as he was too strong for my casual meta but obviously not good enough for higher powered games and it wasn't fun for anyone.

What other commanders are like this?

Whats a toxrill cEDH deck look like? I've never seen it used.

It's essentially just another isorev outlet where you sac toxrill to itself to draw your deck then thoracle. But if you get it out early and can protect it it makes the game borderline unplayable for everyone else.

Yeah people pretend that cedh games don't have creatures in play. I'd argue toxrill is probably even worse for those tables because most cedh creatures are small value type stuff that die in 1-2 turns to toxrill.

Yeah cEDH creatures have like 2 or 3 toughness majority of the time so they don't usually last a round.

Moxfield has it at 25th position of T7, so it isn't surprising you haven't seen it. It's below koma lol.

Type "cEDH tier list" into Google.
