You will build a deck but dont know a commander thats is fun to the strategy you are thinking? This is the thread for you!
How it works: Someone say "Hey I need to build a mardu deck about enchantments and I dont have a commander" them someone ansewer "You can play Ghen, Arcanum Weaver, I think it works. I need to biuld a deck about wurms", and it's repeat... Understand?
I start: I need to build a selesnya (green and white) rhino deck with a commander that matters about rhinos
Rhox Faithmender, not Rhox Meditant, for the stall card example.

legendofa I know you say enchantments and not land destruction but you look at Rocco, Street Chef? I think that combo you say for naya enchantments can work very well with LD

Felipix That's not a bad suggestion, but I already have the deck lined out except for the commander, and Rocco, Street Chef would ask for a big overhaul. There aren't a ton of creatures or token generators in the deck, and I think more often than not Rocco would help my opponents more than me. Do Not Mistake Peace For Passivity The focus is more on prison/damage than on land destruction. Rocco is a fun idea for a more dedicated deck, though.
My other deck ideas up there are still in the concepting stage, so any thoughts are welcome. Mostly, and kind of sidestepping the purpose of this thread, I'm looking for super-specific cards that simply don't exist, and accepting filler commanders in the meantime. (I really want more four-color options.)

There isn't a rhino-specific commander, but what traits do rhinos have? Bulky bodies, a lot of trample and trample-ish evasion, and some stall with cards like Stonehorn Dignitary and Rhox Meditant.
I would say look for a subtheme and choose a commander based on that. Dragonlord Dromoka and Karametra, God of Harvests are good utility options for protection and ramp, respectively. If you're pumping the Rhinos, Sovereign Okinec Ahau pushes that into overdrive.
I got a lot of these decks in need of commanders. Please send over suggestions for
Enchantments: Citadel of Pain + Manabarbs + Personal Sanctuary sort of thing. I know Go-Shintai of Life's Origin exists, but I'm not interested in adding and/or to this one.
Curses and curse themed Auras: Lynde, Cheerful Tormentor + Eriette of the Charmed Apple. Again, I'm not interested in adding .
Reanimator
"Bleeder" attrition: Value over time. Awakening Zone, Suture Priest, Kambal, Consul of Allocation, that sort of thing.
