Quantum Commander - Number Crunching
Hi @flavoracle! So, I did some number crunching. Barring any mistakes, there are approximately 50+ sets of Quantum commanders. But first, some considerations.
We have:
Banned commanders. Braids, Cabal Minion and Emrakul, the Aeons Torn are already banned, so while their counterparts aren’t, they’re still banned.
“Subset” Commanders. Some encompass each other:
Gisa and Geralf has Stitcher Geralf and Ghoulcaller Gisa subsets
Pia and Kiran Nalaar has Pia Nalaar as a subset
Karona, False God is made of Phage the Untouchable and Akroma Angel of Wrath
Ghost Council of Orzhova is similar(?) to Obzedat, Ghost Council, with a subset of Karlov of the Ghost Council
Planeswalkers. Both Ob Nixilis and Teferi have a version of themselves as legal Planeswalker Commanders
The Maralen-Oona thing
In the interest of keeping everything open, I think unless a commander is already banned

The list Includes all the pairings, plus colors of each, and makes it easy to show triplets.
I also have a few questions!
(1) Q: What happens if my opponent’s life total is 0 or they can’t draw a card, and I don’t have a commander in play? FollowUp -
I understand this working in duels, but in multiplayer, how does this play out? For example, if Player A deals lethal damage to Player B, and coincidentally Player C has their commander out, what happens?
(2) How does commander damage work, like Partners (my assumption) where it’s separate, or combined?
Thanks for your time @flavoracle!
