So to recap, your flicker payoff commander needs to have: Access to white or blue in its color identity (ideally both) A mana cost that is as low as possible, ideally not exceeding 6 mana Minimal or zero setup for collecting our flicker effects payoff An effect that creates the best possible payoff when using our flicker spells Ready to see which commanders have the payoffs best suited to lead your flicker deck to victory
Since the deck is not very fast and usually needs to catch up a little bit, Omnath, Locus of Creation is a perfect fit since he is great in making up some ground after having fallen behind
We want to run cards that can take advantage of that effect, so 3-cost Emporio type Leader, 7-cost Portagas.D.Ace gains Rush when played, enabling an aggressive turn with his 7,000 Power attack
Intangible Virtue is an easy inclusion, giving all your tokens vigilance and +1/+1, while also creating another token when you cast it
For a relatively small group, they cover a surprising number of color identities
You want to add as many cards that enter the battlefield and do something good as possible, and that works very well with evoke
