Even though he's got horsemanship (basically unblockable) you've already got Hermetic Study and Psionic Gift to give your commander a ping to fire off his ability. But I like to run things in 3's if I can. So you might try Viridian Longbow or Wolfhunter's Quiver (if.. for some reason your meta runs a lot of werewolves? lol).

Also Neko-Te or Sigil of Sleep might be an interesting include since you could get double value with control for your pings since you'll want to be doing that anyways but tapping down or returning a creature might be of more benefit in the moment than drawing a card.

Ophidian Eye might also be interesting to play with to see if you could get even more draw although I see you've already got Curiosity which is strictly better.

That's why I asked with Curiosity.

If you want more shenanagins ... Meishin, the Mind Cage neuters a lot of decks but your commander can still ping for one point at a time. Neko-Te is nicer than giving your boss Deathtouch but not by much. Same with Sigil of Sleep.

Mystic Speculation is a cheap spell you can cast over and over.

I haven't made a deck with this commander yet but I want to. It's a little too close to my pinger deck for me to really get motivated for it though (Yeah, sure. Keranos will work). I should probably try to simply swap commanders. You can tell by the name I already had a deck and just wanted a commander with any synergy at all.

Cards I thought might be cool here include Toralf, God of Fury  ^Flip, Neko-Te, Wojek Embermage, Cosmotronic Wave.

Deathtouch kills with 1 point so Toralf will kill 3 creatures with a 1 point ping. You get to move lots of damage around if the enemy had an army of 1/1's and you do a point to all of them. Wojek Embermage can kill an army if your boss in off board with a deathtouch artifact or even more if your boss is active. Neko-Te takes out creatures with Indestructible.

Wojek Embermage, Cosmotronic Wave

If you have a lot of pingers you can have fun with Neko-Te and Cowardice. Quicksilver Dagger maybe

Since you don't need to attack you could use Meishin, the Mind Cage to make all creatures that aren't pingers impotent.

Basalt Golem and Voracious Cobra are funny. Rite of the Raging Storm maybe.

If you were a rich man : Benefactor's Draught is an ugly surprise for opponents who think their guys are tapped out and safe. Druid's Call is super effective. Vigor is hilarious. Neko-Te is fun.

Are you going to put in Deathtouch equipment for Brigid? Or maybe Neko-Te?
