#1. Dosan the Falling Leaf
If you’re playing a combo deck that heavily relies on your commander, you’ll need protection. Fortunately, blue can give you counterspells and green offers ways to give Nadu hexproof and indestructible (and it triggers his ability). But Dosan can be another line of defense. With him on the board, you’ll know if the coast is clear to combo off. See also:

#2. Treasure Hunt & Mana Severance
If you’re speedrunning through your deck, you don’t want to get clogged up with too many lands or hit nothing but lands. These two spells can let you manipulate the contents of your deck to allow smoother sailing. If you have enough creatures and triggers, play Treasure Hunt for however many lands you want to get first and then continue on the deck. If you find that in your games you hit too many lands and run out of triggers, consider Mana Severance as an option.

#4. The Monumental Facade
When Nadu puts lands into play, he does not tap them! So, if your lands can target your creatures, they can keep you going. Unfortunately, there are not a lot of lands that 1) are in Nadu’s colors, 2) enter untapped, and 3) target a creature. But then there’s The Monumental Facade. It’s a free trigger! Other options to include, though they need help untapping are

Since then, he's delved deep into Commander, written for television and film, and learned how to drive. He's published two YA Fantasy novels, Rainbringer and The Broken Pantheon. His favorite card is Repay In Kind, which is really all you need to know.
