Coldsnap week: Wilderness Elemental can easily be a 10/3 for 3 mana when you drop it after the first couple turns, and the ceiling is a lot higher.

Jerrard of the Closed Fist is the EDHREC Commander of the Day, ranked 2,918th with 94 decks, which is a shockingly high amount of brews for a vanilla commander that's basically a Gruul variant on Craw Wurm.

Coldsnap week: It's a snow creature, it has pseudo-deathtouch, and it draws a card when it hits someone for damage. That's kind of a perfect utility body.

Coldsnap week: There's no better way to remove a Marit Lage token than Vanish into Memory, but basically any modified creature or token is going to get instant speed exiled while drawing you more cards than you'll discard. It's really underappreciated in the right meta.

Coldsnap week: Hibernation's End lets you got get an increasingly higher Mana Value body into play each successive turn. It's not free since you have to pay the upkeep cost, but a tutor every turn is pretty solid.

Queen Marchesa, long may she reign, is the EDHREC Commander of the Day. Ranked 79 overall atop an impressive 15,454 decks, most brewers are building Marchesa as a Monarch-themed list, with some going the Sunforger route. She's a royal pain in the zone regardless.

Dissension week: Running a commander with hexproof or indestructible, something like Sigarda, Host of Hurons? Elemental Mastery can be an amazing bit of big mana in the mid game.

Koll, the Forgemaster is the EDHREC Commander of the Day. Koll leads primarily equipment and combo decks, and there are 1,194 in our database, ranking him 1,281 overall, a surprisingly high number given the sheer amount of options for Boros equipment commanders.

Dissension week: Biomantic Mastery was a house in EDH's early days, but it's still a really solid card in the right deck, and probably should see more play than the 1,900 decks running it.

Archangel Avacyn is the EDHREC Commander of the Day. Ranked 1,238 atop 1,288 decks (so close to matching numbers!) Archangel Avacyn fronts primarily burn and blink lists, and looks goth af doing it.

Dissension week: Lots of decks want to add counters to creatures, but if you're doing Undying things it's nice to have a way to remove them, and if you're going to remove them you should draw some cards in the process.

Dosan the Falling Leaf is the EDHREC Commander of the Day. Captaining 233 decks, Dosan is ranked 2,329 overall. He does see a lot more play in the 99 of control decks however, but when he leads a list, they're primarily stax and Primal Surge builds.
