EDH Deck Time: Thrasios + Eligeth

Eligeth seems like a commander I would enjoy, but where to find a good partner? There’s two other potential partners that have the word scry printed on them, so that does limit certain aspects quite a bit.

I’m not going to stay away from free white sources, so technically you can cast Nethroi without mutating, but that is not the plan.
