Merry, Warden of Isengard + Pippin, Warden of Isengard I kind of like the go-wide stuff happening with the Merry, Warden of Isengard and Pippin, Warden of Isengard version of the Food and Fellowship Commander precon, but neither really convinces me

Even though Cloud, Ex-SOLDIER offers additional card draw for each equipped creature, it still ends up being far better to just focus on piling everything on Cloud and protecting him rather than spreading it out: you'll kill people faster with commander damage, you'll reap bigger rewards off stuff like Behemoth Sledge gaining you way more life, and it's simply easier to protect a single creature than trying to protect your entire board
