Cleopatra, Exiled Pharaoh
Legendary Creature — Human Noble
Allies — At the beginning of your end step, put a +1/+1 counter on each of up to two other target legendary creatures.
Betrayal — Whenever a legendary creature with counters on it dies, draw a card for each counter on it. You lose 2 life. (Dying is being put into the graveyard from the battlefield. Tokens enter the graveyard before they cease to exist.)

Jenova's Genetic Modifications
1 week ago
No prob! I started brewing Jenova earlier this year, but eventually turned those brewing efforts into Szarel, Genesis Shepherd. There's def some decent overlap between the two; I even considered Jenova for Szarel's 99. Again, if you don't mind going a bit off theme with your creature base, there are a few more cards that could work well here:
-
Gyre Sage - A bit of redundancy with Incubation Druid.
-
Managorger Hydra - Doesn't take much for it to get big.
-
Cleopatra, Exiled Pharaoh as another potential draw source, especially given the wording for her second ability. Looks like ~16 of your creatures, including Jenova, are Legendary, so ymmv based on that volume.
+1/+1 counters have an overwhelming abundance of support, there's def a lot more that could be worth considering.

Gitrog | Same Frog, Different Ride [Primer]
2 weeks ago
Ravenous Ride Gitrog is a cool commander and seems so explosive. Definitely a commander on my short list of options to eventually brew. It's also something I've considered for the 99 of my Szarel, Genesis Shepherd deck.
I don't remember if you've stated at some other point if you're not really into Universes Beyond cards, but Cleopatra, Exiled Pharaoh and Jenova, Ancient Calamity could be worth a look. If not, totally understandable, I know UB isn't everyone's cup of tea.
Last_Laugh on Card draw when adding +1/+1 …
1 month ago
Breena, the Demagogue, Cleopatra, Exiled Pharaoh, Galadriel, Light of Valinor, Kutzil, Malamet Exemplar, Pollywog Prodigy, and Shadrix Silverquill are all options I run in these colors.
I personally ran Reyhan, Last of the Abzan *f-etch* / Ishai, Ojutai Dragonspeaker because I found The Ozolith in my Command zone was more impactful and explosive than a single proliferate per turn.
Blade of Selves for example on Reyhan is a commander damage kill as early as turn 3 (turn 1: land, sol ring, Blade of Selves. turn 2: Reyhan. Turn 3: Equip to Reyhan and attack.) Blade makes 2 Reyhans that immediately die to the legend rule. The 6 +1+1 counters from the 2 dying Reyhans are seen and replaced by all 3 Reyhans for 18x +1+1 counters on the original 3/3 for a perfect 21 commander damage. Rite of Replication kicked and targeting Reyhan is 90x +1+1 counters (15 counters seen by 6 Reyhans).

Fun commanders, I've had them built for a few years now and I have a few suggestions for you. I'll try to keep things budget friendly (besides 1 card) and I'll break it down by category.
Card Draw: Breena, the Demagogue, Cleopatra, Exiled Pharaoh, Starscream, Power Hungry Flip, Wojek Investigator, Vraska Joins Up, and possibly Sergeant John Benton (I run all these personally).
Defensive: Crackdown may work better than Meekstone here because it's easier for you to get around if you're seeing +1+1 counter effects or 3+ power flyers like Shalai, Voice of Plenty.
The 1 expensive card: Bloodletter of Aclazotz is really really good here.
Anyways, feel free to check out my deck for other ideas. Upvotes on any of my decks are appreciated. Badonkadonk Buttlink Brigade - Ikra / Sidar
Coward_Token on Assassin's Creed? Ugh, fine.
1 year ago
A lot of the flavor here feels really bland due to the use of historical people and public domain artifacts. (Wanna build a deck with both Cleopatra, Exiled Pharaoh and Hapatra, Vizier of Poisons?)
At least Outlaw and Assassin kindred decks are eating good. For commanders who want to attack, Brotherhood Regalia is pretty much a straight upgrade over e.g. Prowler's Helm.
