As I’ve said before, Edge of Eternities is an incredible limited set—but what really makes it shine for Commander players is its overlap with rotating cards and the sweet reprints that come with it. With those reprints come new tools, synergies, and, of course, exciting new Commanders to build around.

In this article, I’ll be highlighting my favorite Commander options from Edge of Eternities, split into two main parts. First, we’ll dive into Creature Commanders, starting with the top dual-colored and mono-colored options. Then in Part Two, I’ll explore the new Spacecraft Commanders, which introduce a wild twist to the format.

Creature Commanders

When you think of space, what comes to mind? Aliens, of course—and this set delivers. From extraterrestrial horrors to clever humanoid tacticians, there are plenty of legends in Edge of Eternities that deserve a shot at leading your next Commander deck.

Dual-Colored

Dyadrine, Synthesis Amalgum (Green/White; Counters)

If you’re a fan of +1/+1 counters, Dyadrine is your new best friend. This commander fits beautifully in a go-wide token strategy that scales up into a late-game finisher. Dyadrine enters with X +1/+1 counters based on how much mana you invest, and you can remove counters from two creatures to create a 2/2 Robot token.
There are some juicy synergies here—Terrasymbiosis offers card draw from your counter usage, Eusocial Engineering triggers landfall bonuses to pump out even more Robots, and Seedship Agrarian ensures you’re constantly fueling your counter engine. Once your robot army is built, start reloading your creatures with counters and swing for lethal.
Enchantments like Smile at Death (from Tarkir: Dragonstorm) give your ETB creatures a second wind, while staples like Doubling Season double your output. Don’t overlook Waystone’s Guidance either—giving your Robots +1/+0 and Mobilize makes your swarm harder to block and more deadly. The key to building Dyadrine is simple: stack counters, generate tokens, and snowball into an unstoppable machine.

Sami, Wildcat Captain (Red/White; Colorless Bombs)

Now for something more human—literally. Sami might secretly be the strongest commander in the set, though he comes with a hefty cost. His signature ability gives all your creatures Affinity for Artifacts, which means you’ll be playing massive threats for dirt cheap.
While the Boros color identity often screams "Equipment Deck," Sami offers other avenues. Lean into artifact tokens—specifically Treasure and Robot tokens—to enable cheap plays and flashy turns. A deck overflowing with treasure generation lets you float the colored mana you need while your Affinity discounts the rest.
This strategy pairs beautifully with enormous colorless creatures, turning Sami into a potential undercover Eldrazi commander. Build the deck right, and you’re dropping cosmic horror for free while your opponents are still casting mana rocks.

Mono-Color

Alpharael, Stonechosen (Mono Black; Void Damage Rewards)

Alpharael speaks for himself—a terrifying mono-black commander with a discard-based Ward that makes opponents think twice. His Void ability lets you warp cards and sacrifice your own creatures to chip away at opponents' life totals by half!
Alpharael thrives in hand disruption builds. Target blue players, strip them of counterspells, and create a battlefield where you call the shots. Pair him with Umbral Collar Zealot, Open the Graves, and cards that recycle creatures from the graveyard for a satisfying, grindy win-con. Protect him at all costs and let the life-halving begin.

Xu-Ifit, Osteoharmonist (Mono Black; Graveyard Recursion)

Xu-Ifit has one job: bring creatures back from the grave—but with no abilities. That might sound like a drawback, but with a little deckbuilding finesse, it becomes a win condition. Go heavy on self-mill and Surveil to dump your heavy-hitters into the graveyard, then tap Xu-Ifit to bring them back for free.
To unlock their full power, run blink effects to reset the “no abilities” clause and recover their full text boxes. Protect Xu-Ifit with gear like Swiftfoot Boots, because the 3-mana price tag quickly balloons with Commander tax. To go even further, add untap engines to revive multiple creatures per turn and flood the board with resurrected nightmares.

Honorable Mention for Meme-Decks

Not every Commander needs to be top-tier. And if you’re like me sometimes you just want to have fun and build a silly meme deck. If you’re anything like me I wanted to include a section just for you:

Ragost, Deft Gastronaut (Red/White; Artifact Sacrifice)

I haven’t fully figured out the optimal build yet—but turning swords, spacecraft, and robots into food is just hilarious. This lobster has an insatiable hunger and absolutely no shame. Lean into Boros artifact synergies and go nuts (pun intended).
Cards like Weapons Manufacturing generate the snacks you need, but for the ultimate meme, try combining Liquimetal Coating with creature theft. Turn your opponent’s dragon into an artifact, then devour it. Yes, it’s rude. Yes, it’s ridiculous. But it’s also the perfect recipe for a chaotic game night and tilted opponents.

Spacecraft Commanders

This category isn’t the deepest—there are only a couple real options outside the preconstructed decks—but one of them definitely deserves a closer look. And while they might seem like a novelty, these Spacecraft legends bring some exciting possibilities to the Commander format, especially if you like unconventional strategies.

The Seriema (Mono-White; Legendary Tribal)

Mono-white commanders are everywhere, but The Seriema offers a fresh take: legendary tribal. As a Legendary Spacecraft, The Seriema tutors for legendary creatures and, once fully stationed, transforms into a flying 5/5 that grants indestructible to all tapped legendary creatures you control.
It’s a simple but powerful build path. Load your deck with white creatures that don’t have vigilance, so they can swing and stay tapped—you can add creatures with Vigilance but be aware: those creatures become lightning rods for your opponents’ removal. Unless you want to bait removal, you may want to keep some of your heavy hitters tapped when The Seriema hits the battlefield.
Protection is key here. The Seriema doesn’t make itself indestructible, so give it hexproof as soon as possible. Once you’re set up, just keep swinging—your legendary squad will be incredibly hard to deal with, and your board state will snowball fast.

Infinite Guideline Station (5-Color; Multi-Color Card Draw Engine)

Let’s be honest: this one’s a little slow. But Infinite Guideline Station is the perfect way to jam every color in Edge of Eternities into one wild deck.
It costs one mana of each color to cast, but in return, it gives you access to all five and rewards you for committing to multicolored permanents. When it enters the battlefield, you create a 2/2 Robot token for every multicolored permanent you control. If you hit six or more, you can immediately station it—transforming it into a flying 7/15 with: “Whenever this creature attacks, draw a card for each multicolored permanent you control.”
The trick is to stock your deck with as many multicolored creatures, enchantments, artifacts, and even lands as you can manage. Cards that create lander tokens, effects that give you no maximum hand size, and multicolor payoffs all help this deck function. While it looks like a five-color deck, you can primarily focus on two or three colors and simply splash the rest to cast your Station. Once it’s airborne, the card draw is absurd—and so is the board presence. One more thing you could do, is add cards that damage opponents any time you draw a card.

Honorable Mention for Meme-Decks

Dawnsire, Sunstar Dreadnought (Colorless; Bomb)

Is Dawnsire a good commander? Not really. Is it hilarious? Absolutely.
While probably better in the 99 of a Sami, Wildcat Captain deck, if you’ve been itching to make a colorless commander deck, Dawnsire might be your ticket. It stations at 10—and then again at 20. But when it hits that first stationing threshold, it essentially becomes the Hammer of Dawn, dealing 100 damage to any creature.
Yeah. You read that right. 100 damage. Per turn.
In a colorless shell packed with Eldrazi and artifact ramp, getting Dawnsire online quickly is surprisingly possible. From there, it’s just target practice. Dawnsire might not win you the game directly, but he’ll absolutely ruin someone’s day in a spectacular fashion. Think of him as the Death Star of meme decks—a ridiculous threat that nobody can ignore.

Final Thoughts

Even though Edge of Eternities is stealing the spotlight as a powerhouse Limited set, don’t sleep on its potential in Commander. There are some seriously creative, flavorful, and competitive tools here. From insect tribal payoffs to artifact synergies and wild five-color builds, this set has a little something for everyone at the Commander table.

Whether you’re building to win, to meme, or just to pilot a legendary spaceship, Edge of Eternities proves that Limited greatness can translate beautifully into multiplayer mayhem.
