Ohthenoises, I know. I thought it was seven until I counted.
Dredge4life, A well built Titania list doesn't rely on Crucible of Worlds. You can just wait to sac your lands til you have enough doublers to get lethal levels of aggro. Crucible of Worlds is more of the grindy, over several turns strategy that is more of a back-up plan, really.

My sidisi list is more built for my competi-casual meta. (Somewhere between T3 and T2) and I lean on Jarad pretty heavily so the combo I use is Grim-Grin and Bloodline Keeper Flip for the infinite size but the deck is more supposed to utilize the synergy between Meren and Ezuri. (Ezuri to generate XP from the zombie tokens and Meren to just use the XP from Ezuri.)
I don't include the infinite mana combos in my version so what you say is probably right.
All that being said there's a pretty silly synergy with the origins flip walkers and whip of erebos. (Nissa, Jace and Liliana all have spots.
I have it posted but like I said, it's competicasual so it's not tweaked.

Interesting. Could I perhaps get a high-tier Titania list posted? I'm intrigued.
@Prime_Time I was referring to Titania, Protector of Argoth not Damia, Sage of Stone.

I agree with Prime_Time, Kangee, Aerie Keeper should be tier 1 because it takes an already OP card, Storm Crow and just makes it literal god tier. Seriously, what card do you never expect to beat Damia, Sage of Stone? Storm Crow. Which card always seems to survive a wrath? Storm Crow. Which card makes people flip tables? Storm Crow.
Seriously, why isn't this card banned?
I kid, I don't know anything about Kangee, Aerie Keeper. I would be interested in learning more about Titania, Protector of Argoth. I do not know much about her, but she seems like she would have some good combo potential.

I posted the one by CommanderTheory before the last comment sweep, but here's a more up to date list I based off of that one:

The only real combo in the deck is Titania + Food Chain + Command Beacon, other than that it's usually just a beatdown strategy. It's actually a pretty good example of competitive aggro in commander, with lethal damage against 1 opponent as early as turn 4, and multiple opponents as early as turn 5.

Might I just point out that Kangee, Aerie Keeper requires seven mana to get even one feather counter?
Yeah, no--he should stay exactly where he is.

Thank you, sonnet666 for showing an example. Pretty cool. I can definitely see my girls having some difficulty against it. Would definitely love to play against her though.
April 1, 2016 9:23 p.m.
NoOneOfConsequence, have you seen what Kangee, Aerie Keeper can do to Storm Crow? Turns an easy over powered 2 drop into a flying death machine. Definite tier 1 material.
Nah, I'm kidding, bro. As Ohthenoises said, it's April 1st. Happy April Fool's Day!!! :P

Alright, so we all know that five color combo is a thing. I think Kangee should be moved up simply because so many five color decks run the infamous Xenograft + Chimney Imp + Kangee combo as a competitive level finisher

Pssh. If you want a commander for an April Fools joke, try Iname as One.
April 2, 2016 12:22 a.m.
Iname as One can't use the almighty Storm Crow.
But it can use Charging Badger...

@Prime_Time This list is favored towards multiplayer, where Thrun as a voltron commander is pretty terrible. Most of the wraths still kill him, mono-color restricts the pants options for voltron, and voltron is a pretty bad multiplayer strategy to begin with unless you're using Bruna (broken) or Uril (broken). This is also why Geist sucks in multiplayer. Even if we were only making a tier list of green generals I would have a hard time believing Thrun is tier 3.
Also Vorosh, Lord, and Kangee all suck. And that's from someone who has tried hard to brew with Kangee. There aren't enough good birds and the kicker is overcosted. Vorosh is the worst of the shard/wedge dragon cycle by far and doesn't protect himself to make his ability useful. Lord of Tresserhorn is just too very bad, no good terrible.

yavimaya_eldred You do realize that the discussion of those terrible generals was on April 1st right?

On a more serious note, I played a Linvala, Keeper of Silence deck earlier today instead of joining in the hype for the pre release. She is awesome. She is cheap enough to get out there fast and early. She has a great ability that makes a lot of commanders (or cards in general) just kinda sit there. I really want to push her for tier 2, but her color just isn't good enough. It saddens me.

I actually had a voltron build using her for a while. It was actually the source of much salt.
Give her a sword and she can kill you pretty quick.
That being said, she seems best in a prison style deck. Dunno.

@Ohthenoises Yes but I'm not sure Prime Time was joking.
April 2, 2016 12:56 a.m.
trinitok, The problem with Linvala is that you might as well be playing Gaddock Teeg and just tutor her up whenever she seems useful.

Speaking honestly and as unbiased as I can, I really feel Borborygmos Enraged could move up a tier. He fits tier 3's description well: He is a strong casual general, and as a combo general he can go infinite as early as turn 5 and consistently on turn 6 and 7, but he can be weak to hate and requires favorable politics to go off that early and win against higher tier decks. I know he isn't common, but even a semi-optimized build can be quite powerful due to his third ability going infinite. I'll link both my list and a far more optimized version which I based mine on for consideration.

Mistakes have been made. Kaalia of the Vast seems to have been accidentially demoted to Tier 3?
April 5, 2016 1:28 a.m.
I like and agree with what it says in the update about the constant and tiresome debate over 6 tiers. However, it still has 6 tiers in the description. Is there a reason for that? Is there still some confusion as to what each tier is for?

The Gitrog Monster. dude. its in the data base already. and I think we all know it should be at least tier 2 thats to its stunning efficiency and insane amount of already built decks.
at least put it SOMEWHERE.

Ok DERPLINGSUPREME, it is now time to place the new commanders! Except for the frog ehich is going tier 2, what with the other ones?
Lilbrudder says... #1
Ohthenoises Thank you for the feedback. While I certainly agree with you that Necrotic Ooze is a great combo enabler/win con, my primary issue with Necrotic Ooze is that almost all the cards that combo with it are essentially "dead cards" or mediocre cards that scream HE'S GOING TO COMBO WITH Necrotic Ooze!!
Pili-Pala; Triskelion; Quillspike; Phyrexian Devourer are all terrible cards on their own.
Palladium Myr; Devoted Druid and Skithiryx, the Blight Dragon have some standalone utility, but my deck is less about fast combo and more about disrupting/controlling the board on turns 2-4 and then comboing off on turns 5-8 after the dust has settled.
I will tinker with a creature activated ability deck focused around Necrotic Ooze to see if it is a stronger build. However, I am hesitant to go that route with this deck since this deck is built around synergy and quality etb effects.
