@3drinks See what I mean? Say, it's good you popped by! Do you think Doran's Abzan football-theme could be the community build v5? It's not random, but I think this odd thread is auspicious bit of randomness in itself.

On the other hand, I feel like if we were representing our commander as the manager/coach of the football team, I feel like Kethis, the Hidden Hand is infinitely superior. Otherwise, if our commander is the captain, I agree that Doran, the Siege Tower is an excellent choice.

Touché, but not all footballers are legendary, you know? I also would fear the deck would become a generic legend soup without the open access to the thematic keywords that @darrenhabib mentioned to which Doran allows unfettered access.

On the one hand it wouldn't be random truly. But on the other hand it'd be thematic and maybe an interesting way to yay/nay cards other than if it's strong or not.

I collect Kaalia of the Vast normal-size cards. Do you have any extra taking up space in your binder? Help me grow my collection! :)

Psst, check the second page of Custom Card Contests & Games! Because of the daily contests, a lot of games fall down to there.

Interestingly, "Never Meant" is how I feel about every Abzan commander. It's my favorite color combination in theory but in practice none of the decks scratch the Abzan itch for me.
