| Based on the names and stats from the last 3 sets, here are my guesses for who is a commander.
first some stats (.5 means shared with another faction) Wardrums total: 13 by faction: LG 3 : CG 3 : LE 4 : CE 3 by rarity: C 0 : U 7 : R 6
Underdark total: 10 by faction: LG 2.5 : CG 2 : LE 2.5 : CE 3 by rarity: C 1 : U 4 : R 5
Angelfire total: 11 by faction: LG 3 : CG 1.5 : LE 3 : CE 3.5 by rarity: C 0 : U 4 : R 7
given away in previews Bonded Fire Summoner CG U Blackguard on Nightmare LE R
my guesses Aspect of Bahamut LG R Cleric of Syreth LG U Meepo, Dragonlord LG R Warden of the Wood CG U Wizened Elder Watcher CG/CE R Displacer Beast Pack Lord LE U Cleric of Laogzed CE C Yuan-ti Halfblood Sorcerer CE U
total: 10 by faction: LG 3 : CG 2.5 : LE 2 : CE 2.5 by rarity: C 1 : U 5 : R 4

| | I think Aspect of Tiamat will be a commander as well with warband building ability of pulling any evil,or chromatic, dragon into LE. | | | |

| | I would guess the Aspect of Bahamut, Meepo, Goliath Cleric of Kavaki, Warden of the Wood, Aspect of Tiamat, Hobgoblin Talon of Tiamat, and the Cleric of Laogzed. | | | |

| | I hope either Syreth or Goliath isnt. We need more non-commander clerics. | | Im out- find me on Hordelings if you want to chat. | |

| I hope there are few, if any, LE or LG commanders. Those factions are heavy with them (and, by that I mean, they have many that are actually used in warbands - a notion I'm sure someone will correct me on[:)]).
A cool new ability would be some kind of "follower effect" that makes some of the early LG paladins and clerics more useful if a particular mini is in its warband (this is, of course, related to my request that something be added to the rules or even on their cards about clerics and their aspects).
I really hope CG gets some interesting commanders - the IM seems to remain their primary one played at high levels. | | Fastest dropping DCI ranking on record! Champion of Juiblex | |

| Please more commanders that are decent for CG.
The only ones I ever use are the IM and...the IM. On very rare occasions, Cleric of Garl Glittergold (fun bands) and Cleric of Kord (helps Frenzieds hit the high ACs of todays' Meta). If I ever ran an animal band, maybe the Greenfang | | | |

| | CG absolutly needs a good new commander or two. The Brass Samurai from the last set was nice but not exactly tier 1. | | | |

| | Actually, the Brass Sam is a great commander, she just needs something like the Marut to go with her. | | Fastest dropping DCI ranking on record! Champion of Juiblex | |

| I wouldn't be too suprised if the Aasimar Fighter was a commander, looking at the pose. I wouldn't count on it, but its a possibility. Common commanders aren't uncommon. (teehee)

| In the MM, a Displacer Beast Pack Lord has an Int of 5- not quite commander material.
The Talon of Tiamat is very likely to be a commander, and I hope a good one.
I'd like to see more strong, efficient commanders in general. LG is the only faction that has a selection I'm happy with.
I like to see a certain minimum of commanders, at least for sealed. | | Mine is an evil laugh! Muhahahaha! -Wash, Firefly | |

| Agree we need more Non commander Clerics. CG Needs a better standard leader.
These two to start with
As for which others are commanders I just hopethat they don't over point mini'sto make a standard number of commanders. We have a goo enough selection without 1/6 to 1/5 of sett being commander at most I think we need 8 that would be 1 per faction some cross factions to boot. | | Unto Death We Strive,
