Someone has brought a Monk Typal deck to Commander Night. It's Tier 2, and they say they have three possible commanders for it.

Here are the three cards.
Monky Business β€’ (Jeskai Commander deck) β€’ Archidekt

Shu Yun, the Silent Tempest - Commander deck Monks (1) Commander β€’ (7) Artifact β€’ (25) Creature β€’ (7) Enchantment β€’ (15) Instant β€’ (36) Land β€’ (1) Planeswalker β€’ (9) Sorcery

Archidekt

In playing the deck in a few matches, Shu Yun tends to look spooky up front. But folks soon realise that I'm running combat tricks rather than cantrips.

He has nearly killed someone with commander damage by giving himself double strike, though.

Narset often looks spooky on the surface because of the reputation of Narset, Enlightened Master.

But then folks realise she's a different beast when you explain that each instance of prowess procs separately.

Elsha is new; I've not had a chance to try her in charge yet, but folks used to get very worried about Monastery Mentor.

I do need to take a close look at the list again. See if I can find space for River wheel Aerialists.

Just so we can all fail to pronounce it.

@Keab42 "creatures you control have prowess" is the scariest line of text on the three cards to me
@Marmalade i dunno, Narset’s graveyard recursion seems combo oriented
@Keab42 Narset is the scariest to me by a substantial margin
@Keab42 If you're trying to look least threatening at first glance, I'd pick Elsha. Narset has a reputation problem, and Shu Yun screams commander damage kills even in a fair list. Elsha usually reads as value first, then people realize it's trouble a turn later.
Least threatening is usually whichever commander looks the most honest in combat. The second people see free spells, repeatable card draw, or extra combats, they start planning removal. If the goal is to dodge early heat, I'd pick the one that needs a board first and wins the slow way.
