The Mycotyrant

Legendary Creature — Elder Fungus

Trample The Mycotyrant's power and toughness are each equal to the number of creatures you control that are Fungi and/or Saprolings. At the beginning of your end step, create X 1/1 black Fungus creature tokens with "This token can't block," where X is the number of times you descended this turn. (You descend each time a permanent card is put into your graveyard from anywhere.)

How this commander wants to play

The Mycotyrant is a self-scaling threat that rewards you for filling your graveyard with permanent cards. Every time a permanent hits your graveyard (through discard, sacrifice, or mill), you descend, and at end of turn you create Fungus tokens equal to your descent count. Those tokens pump The Mycotyrant itself, creating a snowball effect where the commander grows larger while building an army. Your deck wants cheap ways to descend repeatedly—self-mill, sacrifice outlets, and discard outlets all fuel the engine while generating value.

Win through commander damage as The Mycotyrant balloons in size, backed by a growing army of evasive Fungus tokens. The token generation also gives you a combat-wide threat, so opponents can't safely block or ignore you. You're looking for that sweet spot between early pressure and inevitable late-game dominance as your graveyard fills up.
