Hornet Nest
Creature — Insect
Defender (This creature can't attack.)
Whenever this is dealt damage, create that many 1/1 green Insect creature tokens with flying and deathtouch. (Any amount of damage a creature with deathtouch deals to a creature is enough to destroy it.)

Sakaizokan, Ravenous Colony
Legendary Creature - Insect Wall
Defender
When Sakaizokan enters the battlefield, create X 1/1 red insect creature tokens named Fire Ant. They have ": This creature deals 1 damage to any target."
Whenever you are attacked, Sakaizokan deals X damage divided as you choose among attacking creatures equal to the number of insects you control.
6/6

I mean are you kidding me? And this isn't even all of them, and not even all of the best ones in these colors. Not to mention all of the all of the black punishment effects, all of the red ETB damage effects or all of the green propagation effects.
Your challenge is to make another interesting Commander, and showcase several cards that would be in their deck starting precon deck.
Remember this is a precon deck, so cards should largely be between $1 and $3 each, with maybe two or three $10 max cards.
And if you look, yes I did adhere to my own rule with Beacon of Creation, Grist, the Hunger Tide and Amzu, Swarm's Hunger being the expensive ones in the list.

Chetpo, Mouton Raiser
Legendary Creature: Elder Wall (rare)
Deathtouch, defender
You may have your creatures block attacking creatures not attacking you
0/4
Making a genuinely interesting commander worthy of being four colors is quite challenging, but I think I came up with a solid draft. ~ works well with cards like AEther Membrane or Hornet Nest. Common deathtouchers like Sedge Scorpion or Typhoid Rats are also fantastic!
Make another commander that centers the game around itself

I use Expel the Interlopers over Fell the Mighty. If Expel gets countered then it gets countered but Fell can get countered or the target can get removed and then your spell fizzles so I do prefer Expel in that situation but they are similar cards in a way just double pip in white for Expel.
Angelic Chorus is fun but always made me a target haha.
Hornet Nest performs for me personally only because my group avoids trying to attack me all together. Worth a try if you're keen.
Mine is absolutely a budget version though so take it with a grain of salt. :)

Color shifted?
Radiance Flare
Instant
Radiance Flare deals 3 damage to any target.
Light so pure and violent that it permanently burns your shadow into the stone beneath your very feet.
You guys know about a card like Hornet Nest, right?
Good
Make a legendary Nest

rwn1971 I do like Kaya, Geist Hunter for her synergies with both deathtouch and +1/+1 counters. And I like the additional synergies you pointed out with creatures tokens (pulling that off with Hornet Nest seems awesome). She was originally in the list but I cut her due to concerns of being able to protect her as a planeswalker. Ironically, she is stronger now from the standpoint that fewer of our creatures naturally have deathtouch, thus her ability to grant deathtouch to all our creatures is more helpful. However, she is weaker from the standpoint that we have fewer cheap deathtouch creatures that could come down early and dissuade attackers. I probably need to view her more as a finisher where I play her to immediately grant all creatures deathtouch, hopefully after already having a big board with Westley and a way to give everything trample. But then, what would you cut?
It's definitely getting harder to make cuts. Thanks for all your thoughts.

Personally i just do not like having my opponent drawing extra card. You still got 8 deathtouch creatures plus insects from Hornet Nest and you got Spark Double Majestic Myriarch Nashi, Moon's Legacy Odric, Lunarch Marshal Eater of Virtue Agent's Toolkit . And being a Monarch for that extra draw you do not need when you got Damia, Sage of Stone Staff of Compleation Garruk's Uprising Glissa Sunslayer Jhoira, Weatherlight Captain Kenrith, the Returned King Leinore, Autumn Sovereign Reki, the History of Kamigawa and Shanid, Sleepers' Scourge . But you also have Kaya, Geist Hunter in your maybe board if you really want deathtouch .

The only synergy Elas il-Kor, Sadistic Pilgrim would have is with Lord Skitter, Sewer King and Pack Rat and possible we could have Spark Double come in as 2nd Skitter than use use Brion Stoutarm to rat tokens . Of course we have Hornet Nest on top of that.
