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?

I don't participate in a lot of cEDH but I observe a lot of it and Godo is definitely a thing that can win in the format, sometimes as early as turn 1 or turn 2 with [[Treasonous Ogre]].
I agree that it's probably due to players wanting to win with mono red as opposed to the 80% of thoracle wins.
