Polukranos, Unchained didn't impress me when it was first spoiled.

Then it did. Because it was the fightmander I've been looking for! A chance to abuse Vigor and lots of little fight spells. Eternal Thirst and Unspeakable Symbol are kind of a no-brainer, maybe Cartouche of Ambition too, Basilisk Collar for the non-budgeted build along with Hardened Scales.

Ongoing project to make a resilient, budget-friendly (Sub $100) commander deck to satisfy the rampaging Timmy inside my soul.
