Top 5 Commander Decks for April 2025

1. Tymna the Weaver + Thrasios, Triton Hero – The Eternal Power Duo

Few partner pairings in Commander history have had the staying power of Tymna and Thrasios. With access to four colors (White, Blue, Black, Green), this combo delivers insane card advantage, mana efficiency, and flexible win conditions.

• Why it’s dominant: The ability to consistently draw cards through Tymna while generating mana with Thrasios allows this deck to control the board and execute game-ending combos with ease.

• Common strategies: Infinite mana combos, stax control, or layered interaction.

• Weaknesses: Susceptible to fast aggro or targeted hate if not properly established early.

2. The Gitrog Monster – Land Loops and Graveyard Shenanigans

A Golgari (Black/Green) classic, The Gitrog Monster thrives on turning lands into combo pieces. It has remained a CEDH staple thanks to its infinite loops, self-mill strategies, and resilient game plan.

• Why it’s dominant: It has numerous win conditions, from infinite draw loops with Dakmor Salvage to explosive mana generation and graveyard recursion.

• Common strategies: Land sacrifice engines, dredge synergies, and combo-based finishes.

• Weaknesses: Reliant on specific pieces; graveyard hate can slow it down significantly.

3. Urza, Lord High Artificer – Mono-Blue Mastery

Few mono-colored commanders maintain CEDH relevance quite like Urza, Lord High Artificer. As an artifact-centric powerhouse, Urza turns even the most restrictive stax pieces into mana generation tools, making him a control player's dream.

• Why it’s dominant: Urza’s ability to generate mana from artifacts and convert excess resources into card advantage is unmatched.

• Common strategies: Stax control, infinite mana combos, and artifact recursion.

• Weaknesses: Struggles against well-timed removal or artifact destruction.

4. Kenrith, the Returned King – The Ultimate Toolbox Commander

If you’re looking for flexibility, Kenrith, the Returned King is your guy. This five-color monarch can be built as combo-heavy, value-oriented, or even group-hug, making it one of the most versatile commanders in the format.

• Why it’s dominant: Kenrith provides win conditions through infinite mana combos while also offering a political edge with his multitude of activated abilities.

• Common strategies: Infinite combos, reanimation, or turbo-ramp goodstuff.

• Weaknesses: Its jack-of-all-trades nature means it can be outpaced by more specialized decks.

5. Sisay, Weatherlight Captain – Legendary Consistency

Rounding out our list is a rising star in the meta: Sisay, Weatherlight Captain. With a 2.88% meta share, this legendary tutor machine can fetch key pieces at instant speed, making it one of the most consistent decks in Commander.

• Why it’s dominant: Sisay offers unparalleled access to legendary permanents, allowing decks to craft precise game-winning sequences.

• Common strategies: Superfriends, infinite combos, or toolbox control.

• Weaknesses: Dependent on Sisay staying in play; removal-heavy metas can hinder its success.
