Nostalgia is a helluva drug

Elesh Norn isn't often a commander, though it's more popular in the deck of 99, and it's also a popular reanimation target in other formats such as Modern and, in years past, Standard as well

A Pest token can be all you need to set off the chain reaction once youve got your combo pieces set up

This destruction clause is also a solid hedge against traditional answers to stealing creatures like Homeward Path, as returning your stolen creature or having it stolen from you by someone else doesnt exempt it from being destroyed when Merieke leaves play

But I can also see her having potential in creature combo decks

This is an added benefit to already being a solid presence on the board
