Best Naya Token Commanders (Ghired, Conclave Exile, Phabine, Bosss Confidant, and Rin and Seri, Inseparable) We havent talked about the Populate mechanic to this point, but Ghired, Conclave Exile is probably the legendary creature that takes the best advantage of it
Effectively, Commander often results in a game of politics, where you obfuscate how powerful you are, whilst making deals with other players, to come crashing through for the win
When this creature enters, return target artifact or creature card from your graveyard to your hand

My initial thought was that they should mostly count as spell slots that can help ensure your land drops early on, but over time as Ive played with them, Ive concluded that its more complicated than that
Beyond that, there is a huge variety of general support for dodging blockers across red, blue and black: its a mechanical theme shared by ninjas, pirates and rogues across all three colors, as well as the new pseudo-type of outlaw creatures defined in Outlaws of Thunder Junction
