It's commander staples time again! Where better to continue our journey through the colour pie inspecting our favourite format staples than with arguably our collective favourite colour and most extensive of these lists; of course Green! Once you've tasted the sweet sweet ramp and fixing, the beef in quality and/or quantity and also the surprising breadth of versatile and powerful card advantage and recursion, it's hard to ever look back at other colours once you've built a deck with green as a feature. There's a reason we have the softest of spots for the colour, and what we find to be one of the most fundamental joys in magic, purely playing your spells, especially early in the game.

The cards on our list are the most played and brewed with cards that we use, including some well known important pieces, but also the lesser known pieces of spice that don't see so much play - but all together importantly the pieces that will see a wide range of play in multiple decks and are always a great idea to pick up for your collection if possible, as they will continue to reward your deck brews for years to come.

If you'd like to see a condensed list of our pet staples for your next trip to the LGS to raid the commander binder, you can find those below.
