[PDH] Bant Combo

Pauper forum

So I'm trying to build a Bant combo deck for Pauper EDH and I'm struggling to choose a commander. None of them benefit the Ghostly Flicker/Cloud of Faeries combos so I've narrowed it down to commanders that can utilize cards that aid Midnight Guard/Devoted Druid/Axebane Guardian combos. These are my choices:

• Ragnar: Can use haste equipment and helps keep my combo creatures on the board.
• Skyward Eye Prophets: Can get some serious card draw/ramp going with untap effects, but comes out in the mid game.
• Aerie Mystics: No synergy with either combo camp, but can protect my creatures from targeted removal.

Also, any potential combos in that you think I should run would be greatly appreciated as I'm not very familiar with Pauper combos beyond Cloud of Faeries and Midnight Guard.

If you're going to use Ragnar, then why not just make it a traditional EDH deck and just have it be super-budget? PDH has a non-legendary uncommon as its general, as I'm pretty sure you already know. I like Skyward Eye Prophets in this role. Or maybe Rhox War Monk as an alternate win-con if you find you're not hitting your combo quickly enough (or just to stall until you do).

You could also run Midnight Guard + Presence of Gond for infinite Elf tokens.
