Partner Pairs List designed to act as an addendum to [List - Multiplayer] EDH Generals by Tier by thegigibeast.

All Commanders In The Above Rankings Are Ranked According To Their Un-Paired State

(That is, as if they didn't have parter, and you were building a deck in only two colors. They may therefore differ from their rankings on [List - Multiplayer] EDH Generals by Tier. See the rankings below for information on individual pairs.) (--sonnet666)

Basic Explanations of Initial Listings: (--merrowMania)

Gorm the Great - An inefficient beater that can only pick off summoning sick dorks. Because of this reason, Gorm is relegated to Tier 5 when alone.

Ishai, Ojutai Dragonspeaker - Similar to Geist of Saint Traft, Ishai seems to point to a UW beatstick plan. As this suffers from the aggro problem of EDH (dealing 63 commander damage), the voltron route will not lead to higher initial placement. Since you cannot force your opponents to cast spells, Ishai grows unreliably. Had it been a 1 or 2 drop, then you could cash in on your opponents casting mana rocks and dorks, but at 4 mana, Ishai will not grow fast enough to outrace combo/stax players. Because of these reasons, Ishai is relegated to Tier 5 when alone.

Khorvath Brightflame - Here we have a Knight tribal commander in Mono-Red. Six mana is extremely slow to accomplish anything meaningful with this already weak ability. Because of these reasons, Khorvath is relegated to Tier 5 when alone.

Ludevic, Necro-Alchemist - Don't give your opponents free cards...like ever...also, his flavor is disappointing. Because of these reasons, Ludevic is relegated to Tier 5 when alone.

Sylvia Brightspear - Mono-White Dragons. No. Because of this reason, Sylvia is relegated to Tier 5 when alone.

Akiri, Line-Slinger - As a voltron commander Akiri has some potential. With a built-in Cranial Plating, Akiri benefits from artifacts ranging from Sol Ring to Ancient Den to Inquisitor's Flail. Because of this reason, Akiri is relegated to Tier 4 when alone.

Bruse Tarl, Boorish Herder - Like Akiri, Bruse Tarl has the potential for a decent voltron deck. The built-in double strike allows him to close out games fast(-ish). Because of this reason, Bruse Tarl is relegated to Tier 4 when alone.

Ikra Shidiqi, the Usurper - Ikra is kind of bad, but 7 life is not irrelevant when it comes to Necropotence and Ad Nauseam. If the The Gitrog Monster (I made a funny) can be ramped out fast enough to be useful, then Ikra can also be relevant. Because of these reasons, Ikra is relegated to Tier 4 when alone.

Pir, Imaginative Rascal - Pir has an interesting effect, probably best with planeswalkers such as Nissa, Vital Force and artifacts such as Shrine of Boundless Growth. As his effect is quite unique and works with all permanent types, Pir can probably accomplish quite a few interesting things. Because of these reasons, Pir is relegated to Tier 4 when alone.

Regna, the Redeemer -

Reyhan, Last of the Abzan - Reyhan is pretty cool, especially with Blade of Selves. While not as versatile as Ghave, Guru of Spores, she can do similar shenanigans with counters. While she does not seem to have the capacity to be truly competitive, a good enough build of her may land her in Tier 3. However, I do not know if people would be willing to invest time into finding how to break her. She has potential, given her colors and synergy. Because of these reasons, Reyhan is relegated to Tier 4 when alone.

Rowan Kenrith -

Sidar Kondo of Jamuraa - Sidar Kondo enables attacker shenanigans, similar to Edric, Spymaster of Trest. However, because Sidar Kondo does not have blue (nor card advantage), there is a limit to the number of combat damage shenanigans he can enable. He enables creatures like Centaur Rootcaster and Avenging Druid, making him have more utility than your average Tier 5 trash. Ophidian is an example of the time of effect he can enable when you expand his color identity. Because of these reasons, Sidar Kondo is relegated to Tier 4 when alone.

Toothy, Imaginary Friend -

Vial Smasher the Fierce - Vial Smasher is a relatively unimpressive commander. Because her damage is random, it mostly amounts to some minor upside that has a chance of killing a planeswalker. However, in a deck that is made to cast arbitrarily large X spells (through permanent-based combos), Vial Smasher can kill random opponents. For example, If you assemble Grave Titan, Ashnod's Altar, and Nim Deathmantle, you can kill two opponents with a Maga, Traitor to Mortals. However, because your opponents will not let you get to your turn to cast an arbitrarily large sorcery/creature, you would need to run clunky instants such as Starstorm or Street Spasm to kill (random) opponents on (random) upkeeps. This is rather unreliable, but still functions decently enough. Because of these reasons, Vial Smasher is relegated to Tier 4 when alone.

Virtus the Veiled -

Will Kenrith -

Kraum, Ludevic's Opus - Kraum is an interesting commander. He is a 4/4 flyer with haste, making him able to pressure planeswalkers and, if left unchecked, opponents' lifetotals. Kraum dissuades your opponents from casting multiple spells, lest you benefit. He is similar to Mystic Remora in this respect, though he is weaker since he does not stack. Being a 5-drop also makes him less powerful, as, like Ishai, he does not benefit from the early turns when your opponents are casting mana rocks and dorks. Regardless, he is a soft stax piece that draws cards, making him right at home in cEDH. Because of these reasons, Kraum is relegated to Tier 3 when alone.

Kydele, Chosen of Kruphix - Kydele is a mana dork with massive upside. Like numerous Elf-ball combos, Kydele has the ability to make an infinite mana with artifacts such as Umbral Mantle and Staff of Domination. If you can draw a bunch of cards in one turn, you now have infinite mana. Can you name a good way in Blue/Green to draw a bunch of cards? I can: Brainstorm, Timetwister, Stroke of Genius, Blue Sun's Zenith, Windfall. Even Breakthrough may have a place in the deck! The list goes on. When she is not comboing out, Kydele is a mana dork that produces , but with minimal support, she can easily produce or per turn. She has a great color identity and, since mana is always great, an ever-relevant ability. Because of these reasons, Kydele is relegated to Tier 3 when alone.

Ravos, Soultender - Ravos is a blend between Glorious Anthem and Oversold Cemetery, making him able to support both go-wide and go-tall strategies. He can also recycle useful effects such as Shriekmaw or get back hatebears such as Thalia, Guardian of Thraben. Ravos is surprisingly versatile despite having such seemingly lukewarm effects. Because of these reasons, Ravos is relegated to Tier 3 when alone.

Silas Renn, Seeker Adept - Silas Renn allows you to recur artifacts from your graveyard. Think of him as a slower Sharuum the Hegemon. You can recycle a Executioner's Capsule and Dispeller's Capsule to deal with problem permanents, get back fodder for Smokestack, and otherwise gain card advantage. Because there are many creature-light cEDH decks, Silas Renn is not unlikely to always be able to get in. Additionally, because he has deathtouch, that annoying Zur player cannot just cast Zur and block forever. Because of these reasons, Silas Renn is relegated to Tier 3 when alone.

Tana, the Bloodsower - Tana is easily one of the premier Stax commanders of C16. Because of her ability to create extra permanents, she can break parity with cards like Tangle Wire, Possessed Portal, and Smokestack. Additionally, because the tokens she makes are creatures, Tana can draw value from cards like Fecundity and Ashnod's Altar to pull ahead of opponents. Because of these reasons, Tana is relegated to Tier 3 when alone.

Tymna the Weaver - Tymna is what a good Red-White commander would look like: cares about combat, resolves the card draw problems. Tymna is an aggro commander similar to Karlov of the Ghost Council, but instead of being the removal of the deck, she is the card advantage. She can run value creatures and hatebears to slow opponents and grind out games. While not being optimal to a Stax deck, she could be the head of a Midrange deck centered around a Bomberman kill, which she digs to with her ability.

Thrasios, Triton Hero - Easily the strongest of all the partners. Thrasios is an infinite mana sink that results in a win. Since he even works with infinite colorless, he is one of the simplest sinks to exploit. You can use Monolith combos, Palinchron combos, or even Bomberman (well, once you open up his color identity :P ) to achieve infinite mana, activate Thrasios a few times, and drop an arbitrarily large Walking Ballista, or something else. You can even activate Thrasios for value. Since he is a two drop, getting him out is easy. You never have to feel bad about leaving up mana for interaction since you can activate him if no one does anything worth stopping. Since most of the other partners were intentionally given half the strength of a normal legendary creature (making the majority of them the disappointments that they are), everyone was surprised by Thrasios, as he is so close to a full fledged powerhouse on his own. His nerf was probably the . As a non-partner commander, his activation likely would have been . Also, he is a Merfolk, so of course he is the best. Because of these reasons, Thrasios is relegated to Tier 2 when alone.

Partner Pairings by Color Identity:

As a note, a combination is assumed to have a minimum of the higher individual Tier of the partners, as replacing one card from your 99 with a partner will result in the same deck (even if you ignore an expanded color identity). (Except for Ludevic. Kraum is a strictly better option at all times, so you've essentially wasted a (commander!) deck slot for no reason by having Ludevic over Kraum. Pairings with Ludevic are one tier lower than their respective Kraum pair by default.)

Sans Green - - 7 Combinations

Sans White - - 7 Combinations

Silas Renn, Seeker Adept (T3) + Tana, the Bloodsower (T3) = Tier 2 Show

This pairing shines as a stax build that puts down oppressive permanents early on, then uses the tokens generated by Tana to break parity on those effects, and eventually overwhelm its opponents as they struggle to cast spells. This is a good example of how partnering into new colors can drastically improve a commander, since the addition of blue and black's suite of group slug cards really give Tana room to breathe. Silas is mostly support, but is good utility at getting back stax artifacts out of the graveyard.

• Vial Smasher the Fierce (T4) + Kydele, Chosen of Kruphix (T3) --

Vial Smasher the Fierce (T4) + Thrasios, Triton Hero (T2) = Tier 1 Show

Vial Smasher is pretty useless in this combo except to give Thrasios to black. However, as soon as Thrasios has access to black, he becomes vitually identical to an already T1 commander, Tasigur, the Golden Fang. (For more details, see the Thrasios/Tymna partnership farther down this list.)

The addition of Red shifts this version of Thrasios in a more Stormy direction, with elements of Grixis Strom and Paradox Engine combo.

Kraum, Ludevic's Opus (T3) + Reyhan, Last of the Abzan (T4) = Tier 3 Show

This pairing enables a version of Food Chain combo of the General Tazri variety (see Tier 1 on the main list) which needs to devote extra card slots to win conditions to dump mana or ETB triggers. Falling those, the usually mediocre Reyhan serves as a back up plan to dump infinite +1/+1 counter onto Kraum, to take out one player with an infinite hasty filer.

• Tana, the Bloodsower (T3) + Ravos, Soultender (T3) --

Tana, the Bloodsower (T3) + Tymna the Weaver (T3) = Tier 2 Show

Tana and Tymna helm a 4 color Blood Moon stax list, which is the considered by the cEDH community to be the best stax list available right now. Tymna and Tana help the deck break stax parity quite well by creating tokens and drawing cards, and the win conditions are rock solid (Typically, Kiki-Jiki/Splinter Twin combo). Birthing Pod chains or simply Buried Alive + Reanimate can win the game on the spot with Kiki and friends. The deck is very well respected due to how well it can shut down the dominant combo decks in the meta.

Thrasios, Triton Hero (T2) + Tymna the Weaver (T3) = Tier 1 Show

Best partnering for Thrasios, and easily the best partner combination to come out Commander 2016, this deck runs an infinite mana game that uses Thrasios as a sink to draw its entire deck. From there there are many ways to win, the simplest being Laboratory Maniac or Blue Sun's Zenith. Tymna brings black and white to the deck, for access to the best combos, tutoring, and removal, while also acting as a card advantage generator that synergizes well with Thrasios's low CMC. The similarities between this deck Tasigur, the Golden Fang are pretty obvious, and this partner combo can be viewed as a strict upgrade to an already T1 deck.

4-color Thrasios tends to lend itself to nearly any strategy, given that Thrasios is an infinite mana sink that will get you to a game-ending combo. The sample decklist is but one of many different ways to build sans red Thrasios.

Thrasios Buried Alive | A Competitive Primer

Commander / EDH* tenrose

SCORE: 9 | 1 COMMENT | 9600 VIEWS | IN 7 FOLDERS

---

Ravos, Soultender (T3) + Thrasios, Triton Hero (T2) = Tier 1 Show

Basically the same as Tymna for giving access Thrasios access to black and white, Ravos exists as a secondary option for players that want to feel different or special. At 5 mana, Ravos's recursive effect isn't likely to be particularly useful in most competitive circles, but decks running creature based combos may consider running self-mill strategies alongside him, to increase the likelihood of hitting combo pieces. While the loss of Tymna's Phyrexian Arena-like effect puts this deck on slightly lower footing, the color identity was really what was important here, so this combo is still T1.

• Sidar Kondo of Jamuraa (T4) + Thrasios, Triton Hero (T2) --
• Ishai, Ojutai Dragonspeaker (T5) + Kydele, Chosen of Kruphix (T3) --

Ishai, Ojutai Dragonspeaker (T5) + Thrasios, Triton Hero (T2) = Tier 2 Show

While everyone can basically agree that Thrasios is awesome and can carry a combo all the way to the competitive tiers all by himself even if his partner does nothing but sit in the corner masturbating to pictures of his Dragonlord like Ishai is doing, there are, sadly, limits to his abilities. For a control combo-control deck to be effective it requires two things: control, which is usually just access to blue, and combos, which means being able to effectively tutor up and access it's combo pieces. In this case, losing access to black hinders the combo side of this version of Tasigur 2.0, forcing it to use more narrow tutor profiles, and limiting the variety of combos that are available to the deck. Still makes the cut of T2, but not the best available partnership for Thrasios, and Ishai really doesn't bring anything exciting to the table that would make you want to run him.

Silas Renn, Seeker Adept (T3) + Thrasios, Triton Hero (T2) = Tier 1.5 Show

BUG colored Thrasios is essentially just Tasigur 2.0... which is cool, I guess. Silas's recursion ability offers some utility and points the deck at an interesting angle toward using artifact based combos and self-mill strategies to get combo pieces out quickly. Something that may prove faster or more consistent than the original deck given time. Overall a pretty solid combo for Thrasios.

Silas's artifact recursion seems to play well in an Eggs Storm combo build.

Ikra Shidiqi, the Usurper (T4) + Thrasios, Triton Hero (T2) = Tier 1.5 Show

Playing a BUG colored Thrasios with a near useless partner is just about the same as playing Tasigur with 98 cards in your deck, which is still a T1.5 deck... But it kind of leaves you wondering why you're not just playing Tasigur. Like, deck slots are useful... Don't waste one.

Thrasios, Triton Hero (T2) + Reyhan, Last of the Abzan (T4) = Tier 1.5 Show

Unless you can come up with some neat +1/+1 counter infinite mana combo that uses Reyhan and 1 other card (I still can't think of one), then this combo is about the same as Ikra. T1.5, but you might as well be playing Tasigur.

Kydele, Chosen of Kruphix (T3) + Thrasios, Triton Hero (T2) = Tier 2 Show

The Thrasios combo for people who think OG Ravnica was the pinnacle of magic design! No lie, Thrasios is a pretty good infinite mana sink on his own and makes the T2 cut since Simic is already already a great color combo, but you are sort of limiting yourself. Thankfully, Kydele is pretty good on her own as well, and their abilities synergize pretty well in some neat ways (Retreat to Coralhelm), so players who choose this combination, whether because of budget constraints, not wanting to be too cutthroat, or some other reason entirely, will still feel that they are piloting a capable and effective deck.
