Commander? I hardly know'er! (Look someone had to)I get what you’re saying, but I think “Commander” is a really poor choice, because… well it’s a clearly defined word in the Magic lexicon and these aren’t legendary creatures that you can actually use as commander. Commando though…
Wrote an article about the Cube Rejects at CubeCon 2023, wish I were joining some of y'all! Who's going, btw?
Isn’t that just me?
I looked at the stats of this card on Cube Cobra and it seems it's "often drafted with" every single card in my cube. Because I'm one of the very few 150 geniuses that run this fantastic card I'm skewing the results!
Well, skip the unique and sticker part and I agree. As it is, mwah.

We should make a thread where we take this cards and just write them normally. We could also remove "Partner" and "This guy can be your commander" stuff.
"Whenever you create a token or put a counter on another permanent, put a +1/+1 counter on Tchotchke Elemental."
That's it.
personally i wanna put a bottle cap and a lego brick and a matryoshka doll and the tooth my kid lost last week on my elemental
Be my guest, but do not expect extras. That's just lame. Use anything you can as counters, but do not make a game out of it to bring as many different things that can be a counter with you and break the card.

Wow, you must be fun at parties
I laughed at the "tooth my kid lost last week", but maybe that's just because I have kids myself XDAs a parent myself: how funny is it for non-parents? Yes, I can be sarcastic, but honestly, it is only funny once to bring iron-on beads as counters/tokens. Is it mtg? Nope. As I said before, I love the idea of un(whatever). But is only funny when everyone comes unprepared. Otherwise it is just like competive play which cube tries to avoid (pay to play). Magic is the best game I know, sadly unless severely restricted it is pay to win which is no fun.Wow, you must be fun at parties
I feel like the fact that you have to physically fit everything on top of the card probably keeps the spirit of it intact pretty well.

I've actually been doing that with cards in my cube. Done it to a few cards now. Looks really clean. I use the import function on CardConjurer which will import a full card. Just add the frame.
I have Erinis, Gloom Stalker coming with "Choose a Background" (and the legend crown, oops!) removed.

Is it weird that my brain sees the non-unfinity version of this card and goes "Wow that's bonkers I want to play with that?" Maybe it still just doesn't quite get there, but still.I have Erinis, Gloom Stalker coming with "Choose a Background" (and the legend crown, oops!) removed.
I don't think it's weird, in an environment that's built to make this thing easy to trigger it is probably an absolute menace. The fact that it costs 1 makes it pretty playable I think. Curving this into something like Luminarch Aspirant or Gala Greeters could get nasty pretty quick.
the OG fun version is a 1 mana tarmogoyf.
if it can scale infinitely its a 1 mana eldrazi

Why cap it? I play low powered. But a work for it to be big without any evasion is fair in my book.What we probably actually want? Or maybe "If ~'s power is N or less, ..." so that it's capped to like a 5/5 or something like that.
Here I am again, with another dumb gimmick cube idea (that I'm probably never going to build!) 
Behold, a forgotten draft-chaff rare:
Everyone gets the appropriate emblem... but the puzzle is that most of the creature cards in the cube are stuff like Resolute Reinforcements, where they make two dudes.
