Was challenged by play group to make a commander in the lowest tier of tappedout's commander tier list.

I imposed upon myself a few restrictions. 1) I wanted to run a minimal amount of tutors, I didn't want the deck to just tutor out two cards out of the 99 to win. 2) The deck had to actually want to play the commander. The commander had to do more for me than just give access to colors and sit in the command zone.

I chose Lu Bu Master-At-Arms. Partly because of my love of the Dynasty Warriors franchise, but also because I feel that he is a legitimately solid voltron commander.

Lu Bu has haste so he can swing the turn he comes into play. Horsemanship makes him essentially unblockable. These are two valuable assets for a voltron commander. Lu Bu being in red allows him take advantage of many effects that double damage to compensate for the fact that he is only a 4/3 base.

This deck has no budget limit, I did purchase all the cards in paper version for this deck. Aside from Gauntlet of Might the deck is fairly budget friendly.

I am very excited and proud of this deck list. Please shoot me some feedback if you have list suggestions or if there is another low tier commander that you think I should work on.

Note: I ended up pulling out Mana Crypt and Ancient Tomb after decimating my play group a couple times with the deck. I initially thought that the deck would need fast mana to be competitive but after playing it against my meta, it really doesn't.
