Best Commander Box To Start a Deck With Kresh?
Commander (EDH) forum

I want to build a commander deck with Kresh the Bloodbraided as my commander. I aim to have an emphasis on creature control and mana ramp. What commander starter box would give me the best base for something like this?
Yes was aware that each box shared two colours with mine. I'm asking though, which box would give me the best bang for my buck and not have me tossing a ton of cards?

I might suggest Counter Punch, as it has many of the same themes.

I'd've thought that Heavenly Inferno, and / or Mirror Mastery would more be his thing, having the sweepers for control and all o.O

Heavenly inferno simply cause of the big guys. It also has some spot removal and some good enchantments that help out.

Devour for Power has most of the staples and is centered on the graveyard. It comes with Solemn Simulacrum , Eternal Witness , Yavimaya Elder , Oblivion Stone and Acidic Slime which can be said to pretty much be staples for green Commander. There's also Grave Pact , Butcher of Malakir , Fleshbag Marauder , Nezumi Graverobber , Brawn , Sewer Nemesis , Lhurgoyf , Mortivore , Vulturous Zombie , Dark Hatchling , Extractor Demon , Avatar of Woe , Syphon Flesh , Svogthos, the Restless Tomb and Living Death which I think you might be interested in.

I agree with ZeroZX. Devour for power will work great for Kresh the Bloodbraided , at least the way I'm building it.
I'm forming a four prong strategy of ton of cheap creatures, devour creatures, sweepers, and cards like Vitalizing Wind and Raid Bombardment in case I can't attack with Kresh, or I'm not drawing big enough devour creatures.

Heavenly Inferno, Mirror Mastery, Counter Punch, Devour for Power each have two of your colours. So ideally you'd be wanting one or two of those as well as some cards to make up the junk in some of them.
