I have chosen to build all of my personal commander decks around a commander that was printed in the original Alara block or was printed in a separate set but has been confirmed by WOTC to be a creature from the plane. I love the set and it has provided me an opportunity to add an additional flavor of restriction to my deck building. Any decks \"I have\" not following that restriction are actually my wife's decks, and they're pretty awesome decks to say the least. We do not exclusively play 'Finite Commander' (no infinite combos), however, that is the preferred and intended meta. All of the decks range from about 8 to 11 turn games, and on average amongst all decks is 9.5 turns. I started to keep track of stats at the beginning of 2022 as well as additional stats in 2023; each individual deck's stats are in the descriptions of that respective deck. I do not frequently build new decks but rather prefer to tweak the existing decks that we have. These have been well tested, not only from the recorded games but my wife and I also frequently play (non-recorded) 1v1 games in order to work out the kinks. I would not describe any of these decks as fully optimized but rather finely tuned for the higher end of casual. With the new bracket system in place we've kept everything with the intent to comfortably play in Bracket 3. Hopefully you see something cool from finding our decks, and happy brewing!
