Ok So I'm getting a bit tired of my Zur deck. If I'm not the first out at the table I'm the last . Thing is seeing as its a control/Tron build it's pretty simple. Get Zur out, protect with magic, suit up, swing a few times, GG. (With a few variations of course.) Sooooo, that leads me to this question: Who should be my next General? ***Important Note: I play only with commons. I like the challenge.*** 1a) Doran - Mostly like a Rock deck. Lots a good creatures at common to take advantage of his ability, and I'm in 2 out of 3 colors as far as control goes. Still have access to the only sweepers I have access to. Maybe some Land Destruction to even the playing field? 1b) Doran/GB Glissa/Sapling of Colfenor - Infect. Yes I know this is another build that could get me hated off the table but playing with commons puts me at a disadvantage already right? Doran + Tainted Strike = 6 poison if unblocked. If he was equipped with say Slagwurm Armor then it's GG. 2) Wort the Raidmother - I'm thinking like a Black Rats + Goblins + Burn deck. Maybe even touching Land Destruction...Maybe. So a very thought out list. I think I've been over thinking it, but what do y'all think?

I vote Doran, because I think it would be really neat to see a Doran Commander deck with commons.
Barring that, I wonder if you could do something reanimator-ish with your constrictions.

When you say Reanimator I'm guessing just recursion or from Graveyard to Battlefield? Probably going to be a small package along with Land Distruction and Discard.
Chris do you have any card suggestions? Yugular: I thought about him, but I feel you cant really abuse him with commons only, but I could be totally wrong.

Exhume..... Maybe Driver of the Dead. Unearth Golgari-Brown Scale Tortured Existence. Mulch?
Maybe pick a Jund General and combine the Dead Dog and B/R Tortured Existence Pauper decks, and add some stuff from my failed Reanimator build from a little while back?
Madness stuff too, like Basking Rootwalla and Wild Mongrel.

Yeah. Grim-Grim can be hard to abuse with commons. But he drips flavor in zombie builds.. Something you could abuse maybe is: I have been building few months a commader deck with commons around that guy but never tested it...

The idea of dripping zombies is pretty gross

So I changed my Zur deck to include Discard, Spot Removal, and Land Distruction. I'm now in the process of building a Niv-Mizzet 2.0 deck (with Gelectrode as my Pauper general). Pretty much it's death by pinger with mass amounts of draw and big burn spells. Haven't tested it yet, but I've built it up for multiplayer (since Zur is more of a 1v1 general) gotta maximize those decks when you have no real income coming in. Primer to follow when I've settled on card choices.
