This thread helped me realize that Rhynseera is a great commander -- I just assumed, because you have to get rid of a card, that in 1/2 box games she would be rather innefective.
It also clarified for me the fact that you must be an adventurer to use a standard action to move again with the other Cormyr hero.
This forum has been qutie beneficial -- now all we need is the Goblin box to have them all.
(here's to hoping they release another to build up momentum for the next D&D edition)

Thanks to all for adding to the discussion of the commanders. We have played six games so far in one of our two pods. Here are the results to date: Notes: Each pod has 5 commanders played with their original full box --- these are results for pod 1 (6 of 10 games completed to date) Faction listed first went first W = win The commanders not included below are in pod 2 W Lokar Orc vs. Valnar Cormyr W Aliszandra Drow vs. Snig Goblin W Delthrin Undead vs. Lokar Orc Valnar Cormyr vs. W Aliszandra Drow W Delthin Undead vs. Snig Goblin Lokar Orc & W Aliszandra Drow
Records:
Aliszandra 3-0 (Valnar, Snig, Lokar)
Delthrin 2-0 (Lokar, Snig)
Lokar 1-2 (Valnar, Delthrin, Aliszandra)
Valnar 0-2 (Lokar, Aliszandra)
Snig 0-2 (Aliszandra, Delthrin)

Wow, I guess I'm surprised at Delthrin's performance. On paper at least, he appears to suck, so I've never even used him. And I think Snig is awesome, but he needs some warband customization to achieve his true potential, imho. The rest of your pod results don't surprise me. Thanks for sharing, I look forward to seeing your pod 2 results!

Yes. I've played against Delthrin several times and won every game except one. Conversely, I've also played as Delthrin and only won a couple but lost many times. The rest are performing to expectations.
Valnar lost more games - not surprising since he is the weakest of the tribal commanders.

Interesting indeed, though of course it's measuring something quite different than just commander strength. Delthrin might well be doing so well because Undead are good rather than because he is, for example (in fact, this seems really likely, as he is garbage). If you really wanted a scientific test you'd run one "commander agnostic" deck with varying leaders and compare the results, but of course that would be boring and would still sell some great commanders (like Snig) short if they needed support from a specific build.

Snig with Undead and the Lich Necromancer sounds like a pretty interested deck, to me. You can deploy your creatures right into the thick of battle at the beginning of your turn, which can make it very difficult for your opponent to plan his strategy. Of course, you'll have to carefully protect your Liches, but that's always an issue anyway.
