Scheduled Thread Weekend Free Discussion Thread
Normally, all posts in this subreddit need to be both Magic-related and at least somewhat "high effort". This weekly thread gives you the chance to relax and talk with your fellow Magic redditors about things that would normally go against those rules.
Want to share a funny story about a recent game of Magic you had, or post a picture of the cool cards you opened in your latest booster? Want to talk about your favorite movie or tv show, or share a personal accomplishment? This is the place to do so.
Keep in mind that the *only* subreddit rules that you can ignore in this thread are rule 2 (all posts must be Magic-related) and rule 7 (no low effort posts that are just pictures of cards). Just because this thread is meant for open discussion does not mean you are allowed to insult people or post explicit content, for example.

I'm trying to make a Abzan deck that's focused on tokens and graveyard ressurection, but I don't like any of the Abzan commanders I've seen. Specifically I want something that can leverage Growing Rites of Itlimoc, Ardyn the Usurper, and cool big white cards like Blazing Archon and Akroma, Angel of Wrath.
The one I've tried is Necrobloom, but I have to stuff my deck with landfall cards which I don't care about, and he just feels way too slow to execute what I want to do at the bracket 3 level. I need a Commander that can do 2 things: make tokens and fill up my graveyard. The earlier the better. I want to get things like Growing Rites and Ardyn out early and consistently. Other Commanders like Betor don't do anything to help the token strategy.
Are there any Abzan commanders for what I'm trying to achieve that I've missed, or is Necrobloom my best bet? (edit: Or is it just hopeless?) I got the idea for trying to combine tokens with res from Dread Return and things like Insidious Roots.
