My favorite Magic card is Saproling Burst.
I used to run it in a mono-green legacy deck that would tear the pants off most other legacy decks, despite those decks being many times more valuable than my own. Creature generation on an enchantment - yes please!
Also, it was my first foil card.
Commander 2020 is full of strong new cards. Below is a list of cards I think are worth discussing for this deck. Let me know what you think!
Ikoria has some neat stuff, and plenty of ETB effects. Below is a list of cards I think are worth discussing for this deck. Let me know what you think!
I think the Commander 2020 decks are great. Below is a list of cards I think deserve some thought about being added to the deck. Let me know what you think of these cards or if you think I missed any!
I really like Ikoria, but the set doesn't have much for this deck. The only card worth a look is Footfall Crater. Haste and trample are both big for Tresserhorn, and the cycling is good if I'm in a game where it's a dead card.
Any comments, ideas, and criticisms welcome!

Interesting, I presume Haldan, Avid Arcanist lets you play lands that have fetch counters on them? This pair might make a good addition to my Thrasios/Vial Smasher deck.
Hey all! Every time a new set comes out, my commander group talks about what cards we're going to get from the new set. Commander 2020 and Ikoria were spoiled around the same time and are supposed to release at the same time.
So what cards from Commander 2020 and Ikoria are you excited for? What's making it straight into your decks or what are you going to test?
For me, the following interest me:
Commander 2020
Nikara, Lair Scavenger (Atraxa counters)
Yannik, Scavenging Sentinel (Atraxa counters)
Xyris, the Writhing Storm (new deck)
Call the Coppercoats (Marath tokens)
Dismantling Wave (multiple decks)
All 5 free-with-commander spells (multiple decks)
Tidal Barracuda (Thassa sea monsters)
Netherborn Altar (multiple decks)
Species Specialist (multiple decks)
Agitator Ant (Xancha)
Molten Echoes (Grenzo goblins)
Surly Badgersaur (Bolas discard)
Ikoria
Farfinder (multiple decks)
Drannith Magistrate (modern hatebear SB)
Luminous Broodmoth (not sure yet)
Escape Protocol (Zur cycling)
Neutralize (Zur cycling)
Ominous Seas (Thassa sea monsters)
Shark Typhoon (Thassa sea monsters)
Voracious Greatshark (Thassa sea monsters)
Extinction Event (multiple decks)
Colossification (Ayula bears)
Migration Path (multiple decks)
Kinnan, Bonder Prodigy (Thrasios Vial Smasher)
Primal Empathy (Atraxa counters)
Ruinous Ultimatum (not sure yet)
Skull Prophet (Gitrog)
Titans' Nest (Kadena)
Fiend Artisan (multiple decks, love this card)
Jegantha, the Wellspring (5c tribal)
Keruga, the Macrosage (Thrasios Vial Smasher)

Yorion, Sky Nomad (Roon)
The Ozolith (Atraxa counters)
Bonders' Enclave (multiple decks)
5 triome lands (anywhere they'll fit)
Cycling rocks (multiple decks)
Without that info, I’d still make a few suggestions. Yeva, Nature's Herald gives flash which will help your creatures avoid sorcery speed removal. Archetype of Endurance grants your team hexproof, as will Asceticism. Temur Sabertooth helps protect your dudes from removal but you have to keep up mana.
Edit: added card tags. Was on mobile when I replied originally
I hadn't seen Vigor much, but I feel like I see him a lot more recently.
