Richard Dawson & Circle - Methuselah - Weirdo folk musician teams up with prog metal band which kinda approximates the vibe of power metal. "Can't you see me/I'm on the edge" seems to fit the vibe of the commander https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8CmcEzRhcEY&list=RD8CmcEzRhcEY

Western Sans Serif by Automelodi || https://automelodi.bandcamp.com/track/western-sans-s-rif || This isn't synthwave, but it's adjacent. High energy, but kind of chill.

[Instrumental] Original Sin by Tim Henson - https://youtu.be/po4GAzP0kHU?si=F-G34BgprGl-5lNN - If what they gravitate to is guitar riffs, this is a newer track that has an acoustic vs electric guitar battle vibe. Might be a bit over-produced, but the drops might be their vibe?

Lacuna Coil - Angel's Punishment (Comalies XX version) https://youtu.be/krgKQRS8pUI For the 20th anniversary of this album, we got heavier versions of all the songs on it. Melodic metal, singing about war and punishment

Scissor Sisters - I Can't Decide https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=buYrBbwyCGE If you're looking for "gleeful violence" vibes, this is perfect. Peppy, aggressive piano, fun harmonies, and lyrics that wouldn't be out of place at a Commander table. It's a little outside the center of their tastes but probably at least visible from there?

OK so I realize this likely won't make the cut, but the "symphonic" in terms of battle mode made me think of the ending of the first movement of Anton Bruckner's 9th symphony, which I've long felt would be a good soundtrack to the end of a TV episode indicating a massive army forming/attacking (link timed to the relevant part) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=23cLITkT16k&t=332s

The Garages- FIRE EATER (Neon Fakes version) [4:43] When my first thought was other Garages song YIPS KANEKO THRUSTS HER BLOODY FIST THROUGH THE UNFEELING EYE OF GOD, I asked myself "What'd be a more fitting Garages song that's at least Metal-ish?" My answer came from my favorite version of their song Fire Eater, which is all about putting some fight back on the field. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q_SREipE4AY

Demoralizer by Municipal Waste https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LMcvn0lT75Y The lyrics are a little too spot on as far as trash talking during an mtg game "play after play Holding you back, drives you insane". and it's definitely got that "get in the red zone" energy
