Top Five Aggro Commanders

Reddit

Hello happy face punchers (figuratively)! I hope your day is going well! Today I wanted to count down my Top 5 Commanders for Aggro and fast play! There around 40k decks registered for this on EDHREC.com but no major leaders most only have a few hundred each. Ready? Let's do it to it!

Honorable Mention

Voja, Jaws of the Conclave

Voja, Jaws of the Conclave

This five-mana 5/5 with three abilities, ward 3 to protect, trampling evasion and vigilance to hold back and swinging. When this Wolf swings? Toss a +1/+1 on him and all other stuff you control for perma-pumping equal to your Elf count! Just insert Elfs for massive pumping every time it swings! You can also draw equal to your Wolf count, minimum him one. Love it loads leading an Aggro deck with Elves.

Winota, Joiner of Forces

Winota, Joiner of Forces

This four-drop Boros colored 4/4 Human and Warrior is next! She gives you an attacking trigger for your non-Humans to dig six and drop a free Human. We know how nasty free stuff is in the Command Zone, she's great leading an Aggro deck , but has a bad rep and may get you killed due to her ability to take over a game and with Combo even if you are just running French vanilla beats like Akroma, Angel of Vengeance.

Goro-Goro and Satoru

Goro-Goro and Satoru

This three-drop three color in Grixis 3/4 is next! When you deal damage with something that arrived this turn with haste? Make a 5/5 flying Dragon Spirit red dork to flood the battlefield with! Then you can give your team haste with their two mana activated ability which doesn't need a tap, so drop it, activate, and swing with it to get the 5/5 flyer makers going!

#5. Xenagos, God of Revels

Xenagos, God of Revels

This five-drop Gruul 6/5 God with devotion to your red and Green to make It a dork and the obvious indestructible is number five. At the beginning of your combat step it doubles something's size based on that power and then adds haste too! It's a better haste enabler since it also doubles the size from the previous one and for no mana, but that can give it to your entire team and make free 5/5 so it's just one better to my mind, but you might prefer the above tag-team.

#4. Jetmir, Nexus of Revels

Jetmir, Nexus of Revels

This four-drop Naya 5/4 is next! Your stuff, it too, get a permanent pump of 1 power for each three dorks you control up to a max of +3. Then they'll get, in order, vigilance, trample and double strike, nasty! That vigilance and double strike means many won't swing back and it and trample are nasty too. It's great for going wide fun times!

#3. Saskia the Unyielding

Saskia the Unyielding

This four-drop four color leading lady in all of the aggro colors is next! She's got a 3/4 size and haste too and vigilance as well. You can drop her, swing and keep back for the blocking, and then she'll double the damage you dealt to the chosen player from your stuff. So, with double strike? Four times her power is dealt! Nasty! You can easily go wide and add stuff like Haste or double strike enablers like True Conviction and Fervor. Love her much! She was designed for Command Zone Aggro play.

#2. Najeela, the Blade-Blossom

Najeela, the Blade-Blossom

This three-drop mono-Red mythic is next! She's got a 3/2 body and Human and Warrior types. When the latter attacks, make one attacking and tapped of 1/1 persuasion which can scale up fast! Then you can spend one of each mana giving her the 5C color identity as a Commander and then you untap your attacking horde, give them trample, lifelink and haste like the ones you just attacked with and get another combat phase this turn! A recursive Relentless Assault and all five colors? Love her much leading an Aggro brew!

#1. Isshin, Two Heavens as One AND Wulfgar of Icewind Dale

Isshin, Two Heavens as One
Wulfgar of Icewind Dale

Our highest charting spot is this duo! The one just printed in three colors 3/4 Samurai will double your attacking triggers from your stuff by anything like bushido or things like Raiyuu's extra attack trigger. Then the Gruul 4/4 five-drop with melee is next swapping Green for White and Black and then also doubles your attack triggers from Grand Warlord Radha making mana to Sword of the Animist ramping you twice! Love them loads going wide, especially with things like Najeela above to make dorks when they swing like Hero of Bladehold doubling them. Love it much here, you will too!!

And there we go! Those are my Top 5 Commanders...what are yours? I hope you enjoyed this much!
