Yeah, I did the same math, and that 17-cent restriction was too tight. Those commanders I mentioned, Tazri and Garth, are the only two generalist five-color legendary creatures that even came close to fitting, and only 52 cards work at all. Even loosening to twenty cents a card only gets 83 different cards.

The other two main options, General Tazri and Azlask, the Swelling Scourge, have deck building requirements that make them barely one step above vanillas. Kasla, the Broken Halo is the only other mythic rare Ally under 30¢, and the 30¢ colorless creature options are Heart of Kiran (kinda) and Oblivion Sower. Again, that's almost double the average card price.

And the commander has to be five colors in the $10 mythic deck. Even in three colors, there aren't enough cards in any color combination to fill the deck. Temur has 23 cards, Naya and Bant each have 20 cards, and it goes down from there. Four-color options are all too expensive.

On top of General Tazri and Azlask not doing anything, a lot of the cards that fit the requirements don't do much--that's why it's just five-color stuff. It's mostly legendary creatures from here. Admiral Beckett Brass only supports Dire Fleet Ravager and Admiral Brass, Unsinkable, and Clavileno, First of the Blessed only supports himself.

More to come later.
