Ganax's "Choose a Background" ability means you can choose a card with the type "Background" as a second commander.

For instance: Dragon Cultist

I don't know if you like this kinda thing, or if you would rather just keep the background you have, but I think Dragon Cultist would be a good background to use.

One take on Sisay I've seen a few times on here is having her be a Background voltron commander. It's kind of like a shrine deck but with backgrounds instead.

Inspiring Leader

Dragon Cultist

Raised by Giants

etc

The deck is a Dragon tribal etb/blink deck, so no plan to recure spell consistently. Renari, Merchant of Marvels and Dragon Cultist are my commander and background.

I have a Dragon tribal deck that has Renari, Merchant of Marvels and Dragon Cultist as my commander and background. I recently played a few games with it and once I had 2 dragons they became a target. I know this is what comes with big creatures. So my question is what are some way to protect them? The deck theme is around casting dragons at instant speed and blinking them for extra value. I can see the blinking as somewhat of Protection. But so fat I have; Deadeye Navigator, Displacer Kitten, Essence Flux, Ghostly Flicker, March of Swirling Mist, Planar Incision, Teferi's Time Twist, Vanishing, Vodalian Illusionist. Let no if I am missing something in the blink category or if there are other forms of protect I can use. Here is a link to my decklist.

Imposing Grandeur should count Dragon Cultist. Drawing up to five for five mana seems fine.

I am looking to improve my card draw for my flash/Flicker Dragon deck using Renari, Merchant of Marvels and Dragon Cultist I feel like I have a good amount of ramp but I struggle with consistent card draw. The only ones that I have that can really help that I have so far are Icon of Ancestry Iymrith, Desert Doom Kindred Discovery Loch Dragon Rhystic Study Vanquisher's Banner If there are more cards that can help with some good card draw I am love the suggestions. The deck list is below

KBK7101 on So what are the Background …

I haven't done too much research into pairings, but I do think a few had some potential (for me, at least) :

• Shadowheart, Dark Justiciar and Inspiring Leader for Orzhov token shenanigans. The buff from the background helps Shadowheart draw cards, too. Gut, True Soul Zealot and Halsin, Emerald Archdruid also work really well with the background here.

• Ganax, Astral Hunter and Acolyte of Bahamut. Gruul dragons. 'Nuff said.

• Sarevok, Deathbringer and Raised by Giants seems crazy. If no permanents left the battlefield this turn, you lose 10 life? Yikes!

Folk Hero, Clan Crafter, Vhal, Candlekeep Researcher, Criminal Past, Dragon Cultist and Cloakwood Hermit all seem pretty cool, too.

I will admit, I do like CLB's background partner system a lot more than the dungeon mechanic that AFR gave us. It feels much more "DnD" to me. (as someone who's never played DnD)
