Im a huge fan of modality in cards, which is why I love the included board wipes in the form of Cleansing Nova, Austere Command, and Dismantling Wave
If your game plan is to flood the board with tokens, Rhys is a ridiculous pick hes the best Elf commander in MTG for that style thanks to his one-mana cost and board-doubling power
The Warring Triad* A very interesting take on a 3 mana rock that helps you advance your general gameplan until Kefka gets in the way (represented by 8 or more cards in the graveyard) and then it unleashes plenty of power
An interesting effect, too, where this creature can't be used to block, and can be returned to your hand by paying life and mana
Inexperienced players may have trouble winning against Bonney since she dramatically changes the pace of the game
