(Rule 0) Kaito/Wanderer partner deck?
Commander (EDH) forum

Was showing a friend the Neon Dynasty anime trailer yesterday and got an idea for a deck. Basically, an blink/flicker deck featuring the planeswalkers Kaito and The Wanderer as partners. I was thinking about having the ONE versions of both of them as the commanders of this deck.
Kaito, Dancing Shadow and The Eternal Wanderer
Basically, my question with this thread is... if you sat down against a deck led by these two partner planeswalkers, what would you opinion be? I purposefully avoid infinite combos if that's a concern.
There is no decklist yet. Just the bare bones of an idea I was debating exploring.

These seem pretty powerful paired together. But the pairing doesn't seem inherently broken. The big issue is that they'll be pretty effective in protecting themselves, which will lead to a lot of freedom regarding your choice of which ability to activate. What propably saves them as a rule 0 pairing is that Kaito doesn't have too much of a wincon and no ultimate at all, and Wanderer's ultimate can be activated right away.
tl;dr: These will be pretty strong as a control deck. Maybe tune other control parts down by a fair bit, and the deck will be ok to play against.

Doesn't seem like they yield too much synergy? Feels like you'll need specific pieces to make them viable in any sort of combo capacity. Sure you essentially have the bare bones of an Esper blink deck, but you can achieve that without these two.
Given Esper is already great at blinking, and given that these two need to have a boardstate to support the archetype, I don't really see a problem with it. Doesn't feel too overbearing. You may actually be behind the curve by quite a lot, power wise. Because now you require multiple pieces, and two Commanders, to get the job done. One well placed removal slows you down. Two or three, you're a sitting duck.

If I didn't know you I would ask you to play something else
