Commander Pairings

TL:DR Open Field commanders should be worked on one at a time and chosen based on who pairs best with existing commanders.

Because the pairing of commanders is so important, you should always choose future commanders to invest in based on who you currently have. KVK Ruins has shown us how important it is to have at least 1 really good march you feel super confident in. Maybe you are free to play and your only Expertised commander is Charles Martel, so pick a commander like Guan Yu or Alex who pairs really well with them.

Also we will talk about VALUE. Free to Play and Lower Spenders do not need to expertise every commander. It takes 690 Legendary Commander Sculptures to fully expertise a Legendary Commander. For F2P that might take 6 months. So look for commanders who are REALLY good when not fully expertised. The best example might be Saladin, who at 5551 is probably 90% as effective as a fully expertised 5555 Saladin. The cost of Saladin at 5551 is only 380 Sculptures, compared to 690 to fully expertise. 90% of the value for 55% of the cost.
