Commander: Selesnya General (Green/White)

For green and white, the search for a useable general was very hard, for there are NO good generals that are Selesnya colors. Finally I came across this one creature that is just decent enough to build a deck around. In fact, he could severely mess your opponent up once he is on the battlefield. His name is Gaddock Teeg, he might be th eonly Advisor creature ever, and man does he have a big forehead.

Anyway, what Gaddock is good for is halting your opponent's progress. He doesn't allow non-creature spells with a mana cost of 4 or greater to be played. In Commander, that is almost every type of mass removal and a lot of other spells, which will mess up your opponent's progress. He also doesn't allow non creature spells with X in their mana cost to be played either, which isn't as great, but it does eliminate a group of cards. Now since Gaddock is only a 2/2 with no evasion, he can be killed with just a simple Doom Blade. So your best bet is to put  alot of protection on him so you can continue to halt your opponents. Gaddock also costs only 2 mana, so you can play him early and many times.

Now a large recoil from using Gaddock is that you are also affected by Gaddock's ability. The way to work around this is to just not put high casting cards into your deck and win with the little guys.

You can buy Gaddock Teeg and the rest of the cards that fit into his deck for a low price at http://www.mtgfanatic.com/!
