Falthis, Shadowcat Familiar + Jeska, Thrice Reborn. Partners.

Commander Synergy:

1. Falthis gives Jeska deathtouch, allowing her to kill up to 3 creatures with a simple -1.

Since one would most likely play Falthis first, Jeska would remain on the battlefield afterward with 1 loyalty, and Falthis would be a strong deterrent to attackers due to her own deathtouch. Falthis enables Jeska and helps protect her.

1. Jeska's 0 ability triples damage dealt from Falthis.

Once the board is clear after a few -1 activations, Jeska can give Falthis a huge combat boost for taking out players. Falthis just needs +5 power or +2 power and double-strike to become a 1-shot kill commander with Jeska. The evasion and the lack of creatures will make Falthis hard to block.

Deck Construction:

The deck is structured to take advantage of the two synergies my commanders have. For example, to take advantage of synergy #1, I have lots of death trigger-stuff like Black Market, Ogre Slumlord, Vicious Shadows, Massacre Wurm, and Goblin Sharpshooter.

To take advantage of synergy #2, I have pump effects like Wrecking Ogre, Scorchwalker, Blackblade Reforged, and Balduvian Rage.

Other win-cons include Sarkhan the Masterless to make Jeska into a dragon. Jeska can then triple her own damage and she becomes a two-hit commander on her own. The pump effects can also help this strategy. Revel in Riches takes huge advantage of the death triggers and becomes a must-answer threat. Dockside Extortionist helps this cause.

Proliferate effects like Sword of Truth and Justice and Karn's Bastion keep Jeska and Sarkhan on the battlefield.

Arcane Lighthouse, Shadowspear Detection Tower, and Glaring Spotlight ensure that Jeska's ability will be able to target whatever we want.

Falthis becomes very scary with the classic first strike-deathtouch combo, so Shinka, the Bloodsoaked Keep, Warlord's Fury and Heightened Reflexes are pretty good here.

You might also notice my all-time favorite synergy: Humble Defector + Homeward Path.
