In the middle of the pack are Mardu Humans and Abzan Keywords, which both got a lot of reprinted legends but not ones that are especially playable as commanders, with Alesha, Who Smiles at Death being the most popular of the bunch at #43 and Karametra, God of Harvests being the only other legend from the decks to break the top 100.

Oh yeah, one last thing: for the rest of the article, rather than calling the decks by their proper names, we'll be going with their themes and color combinations, which are shorter and easier to type (as a refresher, Sultai Mutate is the Enhanced Evolution deck, headed by Otrimi, the Ever-Playful; Abzan Keywords is Symbiotic Swarm, with Kathril, Aspect Warper as its leader; Jeskai Cycling refers to Timeless Wisdom and Gavi, Nest Warden; Temur Spells is the Arcane Maelstrom deck, with Kalamax, the Stormsire at the helm; and finally, Mardu Humans is Ruthless Regiment, with Jirina Kudro as the face commander).
