I decided to try out Battlebond partner commanders. The problem (first) is people are more afraid of losing half their life then you might think, so people tend to team up on this teamup. Regardless, the deck is a lot of fun to play and is very political in nature, and can hold its own fairly well. There is a heavy lure theme with stuff like Sylvan Basilisk or Engulfing Slagwurm to use Lure and the like, and things like Ink-Eyes, Servant of Oni and Ikra Shidiqi, the Usurper to take advantage of either lures or simple unblockability, e.g. Champion of Lambholt and Dauthi Trapper. Fun fact, if you get through with Virtus the Veiled, then play either Wound Reflection or Archfiend of Despair in the second main phase, the person you attack with Virtus just dies, and the satisfaction is very... satisfying. Also, turn two Lightning Greaves into turn 3 Virtus the Veiled with haste and turn 4 Gorm the Great with haste is a great start, so value starting hands with Lightning Greaves pretty highly.
