Not all games of Commander you play will be great
This card looks more like a baby Groot, or at least a teenaged Groot, but I love it so much I might try it again with different commanders holding a Sol Ring
Third, double-sleeve them, then store them with a 62% pack in a box that does not get a lot of circulation (it doesn't need to be airtight, but that helps)
Karlach, Fury of Avernus is an interesting option for an attack phase-based strategy
Sand Scout plays exceptionally well with Fetch Lands, creating a Sand Warrior each time a land hits your grave from anywhere
some of the other new cards are also slam-dunks for an Equipment style deck like this, such as Professor Hojo, Cid, Freeflier Pilot, Barret, Avalanche Leader, basically anything that works with equipment is great
