How expensive (in CMC) is TOO expensive for your commander?

How expensive (in CMC) is TOO expensive for your commander?

I've only built 4CMC commanders' decks because I'm afraid having an expensive commander will just keep racking up in cost, given my opponents have decent removal.

I know I need more protection in my decks (taking suggestions on cards other than Swiftfoot Boots and Lightning Greaves). Obviously ward 2 is great for this but i'm also asking about in general and for the future.

Any insight is welcome, thanks!

Anyone have any info on this printing? The only other trace of this being stamped on here is someone’s instagram post. Otherwise I’m coming up empty

Can anyone identify this deck and tell if the cards are real?

My fiancée found this at a thrift store I believe, and I haven’t looked at them since. There are 55 cards all of the same foil/metal material.

I can’t find any EXACT matches online. Just this listing from AliExpress which matches the box and some of the cards, but their picture shows a Pikachu VMax and a trainer in the deck, but my deck has neither.

Also the engraved borders aren’t matching up exactly on the few (mostly the Charizards) I’ve checked.

I’m dumbfounded! Any help is appreciated :)
