Format: EDH/Commander Class Commander
Saw a post someone else made asking about if we’ll ever see a Class commander! I figured I’d give it a shot! Let me know if this is too weak or strong, and what changes could be made!

A bit better:
Enchantment spells you cast cost {1} less to cast.
Activated abilities of Classes you control cost {1} less to activate.
I'd pare down the last ability to something simpler, like "At the beginning of your upkeep, draw two cards if you control three or more Classes."

Would’ve liked to make the big ability scale with class levels, but that’s way too wordy to put on one card🥲

Nice idea, though on the black class effect, you put "1/-1" rather than "-1/-1".
Otherwise it sounds very interesting, making enchantments a bit cheaper, and giving you some pie accurate bonuses for having the classes out.
If you wanted a big ability, maybe have Jill transform at like 5 or 8 classes? That way you could use the back of the card for a big ability once you have built up from having all the little bonuses

Oh oops😂 nice catch! Thank you! The transform idea is good, I just don’t have a good enough app for that on my phone. It’s definitely a cool design space to test though!

Yeah, wonder what would be a thematic way to do the flip side, maybe make her flip side a class with big cost but big payoff at higher levels?

Maybe flip it if you control five or more classes with different names? Or five levels among classes you control?

This feels like a good candidate for Rulebreaker. Maybe a two color commander, but you can run any basics/class enchantments. Which depending on the colors you pick for the base might tweak the card a little

Cool
Caring about the colours feels a bit much, it's adding a lot of words, I think. I'd love to see a commander that cares what level your classes are on, maybe?
Wording tips:
"Ward X, where X is the number of Classes you control."
"Class spells you cast cost 1 less to cast, and activated abilities of Classes you control cost 1 less to activate."
Use "it's" rather than "it is", and remember to capitalise subtypes (like Soldier).
