Saskia the Unyielding OR the Partner commanders?

Commander Deck Help forum

I just got the Open Hostility Precon and I love it, I just can't decide what commander(s) I should use as I continue to flesh it out with other cards. What would you guys suggest? I know ones more token focused but I can't decide which one's better.

Thanks!

Personally I'm running a token deck partnering Tana, the Bloodsower and Tymna the Weaver which I think are the better commanders. Tana provides a solid win condition and Tymna provides a constant source of card advantage which is a big deal to have on such a low CMC commander.

Saskia the Unyielding is a very strong commander, i'd just go with her. I have a decent deck with her here: Unyielding Battalion

It seems the best pairings tend to have a build around commander and a supporting commander ... so personally I'm a fan of Tana, the Bloodsower and Ravos, Soultender, Tana gives you a solid basis to build around, while Ravos is an anthem in the command zone that flys and returns creatures that (ideally) help support or help generate the tokens.

meanwhile Saskia the Unyielding has alot of power, haste+vigilance and a multiplayer version of Curse of Bloodletting means that there are some explosive things you can do with the deck (2 for 1 Blightsteel Colossus anyone?)

EDH largely boils down to a combination of personal preference, budget and competitive desires but I'd argue the biggest factor is your personal play style, so which commander do you wanna play? Saskia? one/two partners? an entirely different commander that you can use the bones of this deck to build? (ex Rith, the Awakener)
