I choose Radha as my first commander because I think that in a slow format to come out fast is a huge advantage despite the possibility of upsetting someone early. It is my opinion that playing a commander that full fills the role of mana acceleration on turn 2 allows you to leave out traditional T2 "mana rocks" and use those slots for other cards. Radha can cheat something massive into play with her ability of producing 2 red at the beginning of combat. Those options have been narrowed down to:
Embercleave - Can play on T3, nice surprise later in the game
I want this deck to be a creature based deck with creatures that have ETB triggers and I want to draw cards for them coming into play.
So here is the deck list
My next move is to include vorinclex, voice of hunger and Winding Canyons although I think vorinclex is bit harsh for any play group.
I am new to commander. Does anyone have any other suggestions?
