Leinore, Autumn Sovereign

The first thing I thought of when I saw this commander a few years ago, was Lenore from Edgar Allan Poe's poem, The Raven. It's a very similar name to the one in the poem, where the hero of it contemplates, among other things, his beloved and late Lenore, saying:

...But the silence was unbroken, and the stillness gave no token, and the only word there spoken was the whispered word, “Lenore?” This I whispered, and an echo murmured back the word , “Lenore!”— Merely this and nothing more.


Simple +1/+1 counters deck

(not Coven themed!)

51 total mana sources (lands + creatures + Sol Ring). (55 if we also count Katilda, Dawnhart Prime, Kodama of the West Tree, Rishkar, Peema Renegade and The Great Henge)

Play our Commander on turn 3: Lots of 2-mana-value creatures , not sorceries like Rampant Growth or Three Visits, so we can have more board presence, and also more reliably draw a card with our Commander's Trigger. (Even if the sorceries offer more permanent ramp).

Protect our board : Heroic Intervention, Flawless Maneuver, Dawn's Truce and Duty Beyond Death. (Keep Akroma's Will as a game finisher!)

Artifacts and Enchantments mass destruction: (Cleansing Nova, Season of Gathering and What Must be Done)

Lots of random, standalone value creatures, like: Dusk Legion Duelist, Exemplar of Light, Wakka, Devoted Guardian, Forgotten Ancient and so on...


Cards like Celestial Judgment, Wall of Mourning and Sigarda's Vanguard didn't make the cut, (Augur of Autumn is an exception) because they are ultimately underwhelming and this is more like a +1/+1 counters deck, rather than a Coven one.
