Quantum Commander - Number Crunching

Hi @flavoracle! So, I did some number crunching. Barring any mistakes, there are approximately 50+ sets of Quantum commanders. But first, some considerations.

 We have:

Banned commanders. Braids, Cabal Minion and Emrakul, the Aeons Torn are already banned, so while their counterparts aren’t, they’re still banned.

“Subset” Commanders. Some encompass each other:

Gisa and Geralf has Stitcher Geralf and Ghoulcaller Gisa subsets

Pia and Kiran Nalaar has Pia Nalaar as a subset

Karona, False God is made of Phage the Untouchable and Akroma Angel of Wrath

Ghost Council of Orzhova is similar(?) to Obzedat, Ghost Council, with a subset of Karlov of the Ghost Council

Planeswalkers. Both Ob Nixilis and Teferi have a version of themselves as legal Planeswalker Commanders

The Maralen-Oona thing

In the interest of keeping everything open, I think unless a commander is already banned

List: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1PYW8XRDXmRKuL8bhp9qS71IxqIFORgl4

The list Includes all the pairings, plus colors of each, and makes it easy to show triplets.

I also have a few questions!

(1) Q: What happens if my opponent’s life total is 0 or they can’t draw a card, and I don’t have a commander in play? FollowUp - 

I understand this working in duels, but in multiplayer, how does this play out? For example, if Player A deals lethal damage to Player B, and coincidentally Player C has their commander out, what happens?

(2) How does commander damage work, like Partners (my assumption) where it’s separate, or combined?

Thanks for your time @flavoracle!

This is actually pretty close for me.  Green-White (my favorite colour and my favorite color) Instants/Sorceries (I’m more of a creature player, but I do enjoy some control decks) Born on Mercadia (my first deck was a Mercenary deck featuring many cards from Mercadia) Planeswalked to Ravnica (probably my favorite plane)

Chart made by VoicesOfChaos and everything else is owned by Wizards Of the Coast.

Been working on this for a week and finally got it done right in time! So please reblog and put what you are in the hashtags so please have fun.

 For example I am Kevin Ross born October 11th so I am a White-Blue mage who specializes in the graveyard that was born on Ravnica and first planeswalked to Kamigawa.
