What are the commanders?

Those chosen to command the decks are familiar figures in the Warhammer landscape:

The Swarmlord is the worst representation of the Xenos. His race, the Tyranids, are one of the greatest threats to the known universe.

The Inquisitor Greyfax is part of the Imperial Inquisition, which seeks to prevent chaos from destroying humanity.

Szarekh, The Silent King, waking up from his tomb world, seeks progress at all costs.

Abaddon the Despoiler is commander of the Black Legion, the troops who gave themselves to the service of the gods of chaos.

The Swarmlord, Temur deck commander (Green, Blue and Red) benefits from the counter strategy, gaining card advantage with it.

Wizards defined it as a deck to devour enemies with giant creatures.
