I recently received a friend's collection, and as I went through it, this card caught my eye. Xira Arien  What a bizarre card. Insect wizard? Card draw for    ? I felt compelled to make a commander deck for her. Only problem is, I have no idea what direction to go with it. Anyone want to help me out here?

Group Hug w/ Mana Flare  , Rites of Flourishing  , Temple bell  type stuff then drop Underworld Dreams  and board wipes. Whatever you go with, don't forget Swarmyard  .

LMAO@ Swarmyard. Hilarious. My suggestion about group hug decks: Don't. About Xira Arien... Questions, I guess: What is your budget? What do you have access to, cards-wise? Will she be played often? What "type" of player are you? My knee-jerk reaction is to do mass discard so that you gain the adwantage - Geth's Grimoire  , Words of Waste  , etc. Follow through with something like Eureka  after a big discard festival.

Best deck I've seen that runs her at the head was a grindy rock style control deck.

I love xira arien. I originally ran her as an LD deck, but transformed it into a rock style. I went with life from the loam into retracing worm harvest. Discard could be good... Nath of the gilt leaf and sadistic hypnotist...

I actually run her in charge of goblins. Thinking of Jund insects next.
