Cats · Commander / EDH

Cat Commander Decks

Cats are quietly one of the better equipment shells: lots of cheap bodies, several lords, and a white-green core that wants to suit one up rather than go wide.

Cat Equipment — Suit Up One Cat

Commanders that care about cats

Legendary cats whose rules text actually names the creature type — these reward building around the tribe, rather than just belonging to it. Ordered by current market price, which is the closest thing to a popularity signal we can honestly compute.
