Aboshan, Cephalid Emperor
Legendary Creature — Cephalid
Tap an untapped Cephalid you control: Tap target permanent.
: Tap all creatures without flying.

Aboshan, Cephalid Emperor is very unique, and can be a flying/Cephalid commander.
Cynette, Jelly Drover is probably a lot better, though.
Malcolm, Alluring Scoundrel is interesting.
Callaphe, Beloved of the Sea is also... something.

Even Cephalids have a commander and, kind-of, a lord: Aboshan, Cephalid Emperor. So it's really surprising there isn't a legendary phoenix.

I'd consider cards that tap all the creatures of your opponents (which also protects from incoming attacks your planeswalkers):
- Aboshan, Cephalid Emperor
- Arena of the Ancients
- Cryptic Command
- Deluge
- Sleep
- Blustersquall
- Tempest Caller
- Thundermare
- War's Toll
And I'd also consider cards that double the damage rowan can deal with her minus ability, so that you can better clean the board:

I browse legendary creature lists ALL the time, how have I NEVER seen Nebuchadnezzar?! Sounds really funny, so I voted for that.
To be fair, I'd still like to see a Aboshan, Cephalid Emperor build. I could see myself trying those shenanigans

I have a vision that seems pretty good I don't know your budget but here goes. You commander is gonna be unblocked 90 percent of the time. Rather then making him unblockable make him get blocked. Use him as a creature nuke. Grafted Exoskeleton, they will have to block or they will die to infect. I would run some extra turn stuff. Expropriate and Time Stretch. So you wait for your opponents to tap at least one of thier creatures to make your move. Then boom, CMDR attacks deals lots of damage and then you cast a spell to take an extra turn then boom more CMDR damage take an extra turn again. You get the point.
A card I would suggest. Fatestitcher, this is gonna be great you'll be able to untap you CMDR giving him hexproof back or tapping a creature to make him unblockable or untapping a creature an opponent controls suddenly making your CMDR able to be blocked and making him a nuke because he is equipped with Basilisk Collar.
So there's some really good resources out there and this site is one of the few. There's an app I'm using to help find cards I want it is called mtg fimilar it's only for Android and it's amazing. Download that app it will help tons. Also go to edhrec.com that site should help tons too.
Some random cards that might be good with your CMDR .
Kukemssa Pirates he will steal shit because your CMDR has to be blocked.
Infiltration Lens you'll draw so many cards.
Tideforce Elemental, like I said before, you might find it more useful to untap your opponents creatures, to take then out
Aboshan, Cephalid Emperor, this guy is great defense and other utility
Arbiter of the Ideal, with all the tap and untap stuff this is an easy include.
I'll have more for you another time just tag me.

There's also the flagbearers: Coalition Flag Coalition Honor Guard Standard Bearer But they don't really have synergy with each other. You might be able to pull some shenanigans if you give a flagbearer hexproof or protection with a changeling out though.
Thelon of Havenwood, Fungal Bloom, Sporesower Thallid, Savage Thallid and Pallid Mycoderm are all listed as saprolings. I don't know if you merged fungus and saproling intentionally, but if you did it might make sense to change saproling tech to saproling/fungus tech.

I am interested in using Aboshan, Cephalid Emperor in a deck that on the norm doesn't have many fliers, but was wondering if you can use his ability effectively without them. If I swing i with a non-flier, then use the ability before they block, will it go through (as long as they don't have fliers either)

I'm new to commander and I'm trying to fill in the blanks. I have creatures that have the type "Legendary Creature ( Borborygmos ). Then, I have older cards with the sub type Creature Legend ( Aboshan, Cephalid Emperor ). Can Aboshan be used as a Commander or is this format for Modern printed cards. Thanks.
