This is my Orzhov Knights deck.

Why Athreos? Well i started with Aryel but she sucked super hard. Syr Gwyn doesn't actually make a good tribal commander and I already have a dedicated Boros equipment deck plus with all the double and even triple pips on many of the knights I found it just too rough going in Mardu colors.

I ended using Athreos because he's one of the only other legends I had on hand in these colors and I've found him working actually very well. Now this is a deck that very much does not center around the commander but he's there and does provide a passive bonus to the deck that's nice to have but not required. I play a lot of anthem effects and often a great winning strategy is just turning Athreos sideways.

In actuality the TRUE commander is probably Haakon but he's mono color and also sucks in the command zone.
