@@AffinityForCommandersan my vote is for Dralnu, Lich Lord for lots of Shenanigans due to the Flashback mechanic to get massive zombie tribal effects, and Clever Impersonator goes a seriously long ways in that strategy on cards like Endless Ranks of the Dead when copying.
I'm surprised Sygg, River Cutthroat, didn't make it to the list... it gives you card drawing and access to black's tutoring and reanimation (the latter is particularly important for tribal decks since they tend to be hurt badly by board wipes).
I have a sygg River guide deck. It can be a very competitive deck cause most of the merfolk are wizards so the draw effect is azami lady of the scroll.
I think Vadrok, Apex of Thunder can be a really cool merfolk commander. It can cast & recurr some important pieces from the graveyard, it can reuse utility spells, you get access to UW and even R. It can "infuse" itself onto most merfolks and make it your commander. It also has quitw nice keywords for if you want to have a more voltron-y build. You don't HAVE to add a bunch of mutate creatures either. But yeah I really like the idea of using the legendary mutate creatures as tribal commanders.
If you're new, I'd definitely recommend a preconstructed deck over building one yourself. We do have a "how to build a commander deck" video that we published recently too! 🙂
True, but Thrasios has the same problem Tatyova has: none of his abilities are specifically useful to Merfolk. This video is about the best commanders for Merfolk tribal, not the best commanders who *are* Merfolk.
I like Chulane even though its not a merfolk, it goes well with merfolk and card draw, and a bouncing ability, also adds white
Nice idea! 😄
Thank you. There are so many options for this kind of deck. Just having a few to pick from really helps with information overload.
So glad we could help! 😁
You should do this for other tribes or archetypes like Enchantress or Aristocrats.
We might do! 😁
Alex's voice is just.... awesome haha
I love this style of content keep it up!
Thanks Marcelo! 😁
Also love this style of content! Anything tribal russles my jimmies! And Alex....you truly have a gift!
Can you do a video like this for the best zombie commander?
If this one proves popular we might! 🙂

it simply has nothing to do with merfolks
He's a good commander, but we didn't think he was top 5 material! 🙂
Kumena is only missing the tapping ability of Lullmage Mentor, tap 7 untapped merfolk you control: counter target spell
That would be brilliant for preventing board wipes! 😁
@@AffinityForCommander I mean Lullmage is a merfolk so put him in the 99. That's probably the closest you'll get to constant boardwipe responses
Great video. Was not expecting a sudden appearance by Vraska! 😆
May St. Algorithmas bless your channel!
Glad you enjoyed it! Where was this Vraska cameo you speak of? 😄
@@AffinityForCommander At 2:50, there's a graphical error and Vraska makes a sudden appearance. Lasts until about 2:55

Nice! 😄
Thb you calling Sygg old made me feel very old. Nice vid, new to the channel and sub'd. Cheers!
Glad you liked it! Time does pass by at an alarming rate! 🤣
Sygg, River Guide is my merfolk commander! I like using Wandervine Prophet and Summon the School to get infinite turns
So mean... I love it! 😆

How unique! 😄
can someone tell me the best cards for beggininers because i really want to play but i have no clue how it works.

@@AffinityForCommander thank you this is a great help!!
No problem friend! 😁
Thrasios is so powerful, the fact that it's a merfolk is lost on most people lol
Very true! 😀

@@TheCrazyPlayer for that you use the second partner commander xD
My gues: its reaperking, cause he is all tribals and cause he does things! Ok -points for being also all other tribes.... XD
😆
