Yes 2€ planeswalker is the value reprint we have been waiting for.
Who would you pick instead?
Vivien, champion of the wilds would be very interesting in a morph deck because you can play a creature at instant speed and then morph them at instant speed. Also, it works very well with seedborn muse.
You're right that I misread Morophon, but there are 4 legendary Centaurs, 310 legendary humans, and 0 legendary Kavus.
Do you just want any old legendary kavu? I was under the impression you wanted actual tribal support.
ok fine then wolves. 49, no legendaries.
plants, 48 no legendaries
elephant, 57
drone, 62, i didn't even know that was a type, damn
lizard, 67
drake, 88
wall, 127 aww poor walls
For the same reason they can't print a legendary antelope, badger, camarid, deer, or elephant - because there's a million creature types and they can't make a legendary for all of them.
Also, while there is technically tribal support for kavus, it's really limited and really underwhelming in commander. You can make a fun commander around an underpowered thing, but at a certain point it's going to lose appeal to most players. How many people are actually going to want to run a bunch of mostly understatted vanilla-ish creatures for the big payoff of...kavu mauler? aggressive mammoth isn't even good, and that requires zero setup for probably a better result.
This is exactly why Morophon was printed. Go build tribal with whatever crazy thing your heart desires.
If they can make a tribal commander for Bears, Scarecrows, and Ninjas, they can make one for Kavu. How many other creature types have 42 cards and no legendary? There are only 25 Bears, and they printed a Bear commander in a set that's twice as expensive and meant for Modern. There's only 32 Scarecrows and 22 Ninjas.
I’m just hoping that there’s a legendary Kavu in the populate deck so I can have my Kavu Commander. They made all these legends in Dominaria and gave us a Scarecrow commander, a Bear Commander, and a Ninja Commander. Why can’t they print a Kavu commander?
Well Reaper King has been around for a while, in a set that was focused on tribal support with scarecrow being one of the said tribes.
Bear was kind of out of left field but not unappreciated. In fact we got a second bear commander in Horizons. (Ayula and goreclaw can be bear tribal commanders. Ayula a little more focused)
Ninjas needed a (fun and focused) commander.
Kavus are not even a real tribe, they have no synergy they are just big. I would not complain about a Kavu commander In Naya, but we don;t need one (as there are other naya commanders that offer more since kavus do no synergize with each other.
I am stoked for Volrath.
No synergy? I’m guessing you didn’t play during the invasion block.
Actually i started during the invasion block. I however did not run a kavu deck nor did my friends run kavus (It was all about thorn elemental, the "ultimate" card)
I guess a kavu commander would be cool, but we are not getting it in this set.
How do you know there’s not a Kavu Commander in the populate deck? Maybe it could be a creature that enters the battlefield with a Kavu token and then whenever a Kavu enters the battlefield you can populate.

I really hope the populate deck has a legendary Kavu, like how last year the Esper deck gave us a Ninja Commander. We got all these legendaries in Dominaria and a Bear Commander in Modern Horizons, yet we still don’t have any legendary Kavus.

You make some good points, and I guess that Morophon would work as a Kavu commander, but walls have Doran, the siege tower and Arcades, the strategist and wolves have Ulrich of the Krallenhorde.

It doesn’t even have to be a populate card. It’s not like Gerrard, Weatherlight Hero is a flashback card, or k’rrik, son of yawgmoth is a madness card. Apex Altisaur isn’t a morph card.
No synergy? I’m guessing you didn’t play during the invasion block.
Furthermore Kavu have an enter the battlefield sub theme:
And then in my sideboard I have:
Captain Sisay can do one sided LD with Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite or Linvala, keeper of silence with Nature’s Revolt or Kamahl, fist of Krosa and there are multiple finishers in the deck, with Ulamog, the ceaseless hunger probably being the best one.
It was a team effort.
If Gerard is your commander, you can recast him from the command zone after he’s exiled.
