Deciding Commander(s) for Cleric tribal
Commander Deck Help forum
Posted on March 11, 2017, 5:48 p.m. by TheScorpionGod
I've had a cleric tribal EDH for quite some time. I ran Ayli and found her fitting quite nicely. The deathtouch and sac outlet work well with clerics.
But now that Tymna and Ravos are available as partners, I've had some difficulty deciding between the two options.
Ayli provides lifegain, deathtouch, and eventually exiles stuff.Tymna and Ravos provide card draw and recursion.

Phaetion Has a very good point, you could also just put them in the sideboard. Admittedly you have to pick something to swap with with Ravos or Tymna so it stays 100 instead of being 101 when you do make the swap. So it's Ayli and "random card" for Ravos and Tymna.

You can always run both Tymna and Ravos. There's no rule saying the partner commanders can't be the same color combinations.

Raging_Squiggle's right. I run both Kraum & Ludevic in one my commander decks. But I like to build a little flexibility into all my EDH decks so they each have a few choices when it comes to commander.

I've tried them all for cleric tribal and I think tymna and ravos is the best way to go. They both offer card advantage which is very important since your hand will empty fairly fast.

Why not run all 3 in the deck, and then swap out generals for varied game experiences?
