Selvala, Heart of the Wilds is among the strongest green commanders and Archon of Cruelty is a big player in Commander, too
Once you start finding two spells in the later stages of the game is where the real card advantage starts taking place , making the player casting IE pull ahead in resources
While in a lot of situations it might make sense to cut alternative commanders from a precon, Blast from the Past lets us leave them in
