What are the most fun commanders in MTG?
The most fun Commanders to pilot right now are Ian Malcolm, Chaotician (4.21), Ruby, Daring Tracker (4.15), and Abdel Adrian, Gorion's Ward (4.15), based on tracked games from the last 180 days. Every Commander game is rated 1 to 5 by the player who piloted the deck, right after they finish playing. Because winners always rate their games higher, the score standardizes to a neutral win rate: it averages the fun on won and lost games separately, then weights the losing side more heavily, so winning does not buy fun points.

The method, in plain language
- Pilots rate their own game 1 to 5 right after playing, so this measures fun to PILOT a commander, not to play against one.
- Winners rate games higher: across tracked games the average is 4.34 out of 5 when a pilot wins versus 3.48 when they lose, a gap of 0.86 stars. A raw fun average would just re-rank commanders by win rate.
- To strip out that bonus we average the winning-game and losing-game ratings separately, then combine them as 0.25 times the winning average plus 0.75 times the losing average. Weighting the losing side more heavily standardizes every commander to a neutral outcome.
- A commander needs at least 150 fun ratings in the last 180 days from at least 10 distinct pilots to be ranked. If either side has fewer than 10 ratings we substitute the site-wide average for that side.
- Honest caveat: this is self-reported, and players who skip rating can bias the sample. It reflects how the people who did rate felt about piloting the deck.
- Card names and artwork come from Scryfall. The ratings themselves are not sourced from anywhere: every game result and fun rating on this page is Playgroup.gg's own first-party data, recorded by players in our game tracker.
