Mai and Zuko can also add an element of speed and deception to some of the cards above
You decide how many creatures to sacrifice as the devour creature enters the battlefield, and the devour creature enters the battlefield with that many +1/+1 counters
If you could get something on the battlefield, it makes a token whenever a land enters the battlefield, like a Scute Swarm or a Springheart Nantuko
It seems misprints and mistakes are cropping up more often in Magic's latest sets

I narrowed the deck based on these priorities: can do multiple things below at once: Faith's Fetters gives my commander evasion: Soaring Hope removes threats and/or blockers: Arrest is a creature that's a "threat": Kemba's Skyguard can gain me life nearly every turn: Apothecary Initiate can gain me a lot of life: Congregate can gain me some life and replace itself: Blessed Wine Notice that it's better for my commander for me to gain 1 life three times (and get +3/+3) than for me to gain 4 life once (and get +1/+1)
