When I first heard of Tiny Leaders, my first instinct was to Google the phrase, "Complete list of Tiny Leaders commanders." It did not return the result I wanted, instead just taking me to rules and ban lists and forums and whatnot. I've tried again a few times with different search terms, and nothing. So, either nobody has done this, my Google-fu is weak, or the site where this is done is not labeled well.
Of course, I'm glad to have the opportunity to do this the right way. So without further ado, for your convenience, below is an image of each commander legal in Tiny Leaders, sorted by color identity. Please let me know if you notice anything wrong and I will update the post.
Enjoy!

So, there isnāt a legal Sultan-Colored Tiny Leader, however itās been decided that you canĀ make-believe! Ā Thanks to Xander on the MTGSalvation forums for this awesome proxy.
We can use the kamigawa guys that flip into legendary?
I’d run bushi tenderfoot over isamaru all day every day. The payoff is huge for what will be a voltron deck already. 4/3 Bushido 2 double strike is way over the curve for a single W.
You know, I assumed so because Erayo, Soratari Ascendant is specifically banned, but I see now that this is actually cast as a legendary. Can someone point me to a definitive source one way or the other on these? I’ll remove them as soon as it’s confirmed they’re not legal. Thanks!
I’m pretty sure it is only the ascendant cycle. The red threaten guy and nezumi shortfang would be pretty good too.
Uh… so Edric is banned…
Thanks for the great list. I know that took a lot of time. I bought a great app called Umagic from the iPhone store. With it, I can view and sort every magic card made in any way possible. The filters are great and the carousel view is awesome. The only down side is the deck building portion could use some work. I believe it is free to download but it’s missing the standard sets, or at least that’s the way it worked when I got it last year. I bought the full version for something like $5 and they update it with every set free of charge. Anyway, thanks for the hard work and check it out if you don’t already have a digital tool.
I wonder how many Gatherer searches there have been of “Legendary Creature cmc <= 3" in the last few weeks, and if wizards takes note of that kind of trend.
My short list that I made the other day of leaders that I thought would either be competitive, fun, or interesting to build around:
Vendilion Clique
Doran
Ezuri/Rhys the Redeemed
Geist of Saint Traft
Glissa, the Traitor
Hanna, Ship's Navigator
Jenara
Maralen (combo?)
Marath
Mikaeus, the Lunarch
Nin, the Pain Artist
Sygg, River Cutthroat
Teysa, Orzhov Scion
Varolz
Vorel of the Hull Clade
Merieke Ri Berit
Animar (storm combo)
Jeez, Danny, this must have taken a lot of time and been boring as hell. Thanks for taking the effort to do this! When Iām looking to build a Tiny Leaders deck next time, Iāll search Google for āList of Every Commander in Tiny Leadersā and find myself right back here at Quiet Speculation
but srsly… This is awesome and I have bookmarked it.
Thelon of Havenwood should be listed under golgari not mono green.
The app I use on my iPhone is imtg, and it’s fantastic. Very very easy to come up with a list like this using the database filters. If you have an iPhone, you might check it out. But seriously, fantastic work putting together a list like this without using an app!
Afaik you can use a Proxy for Sultai colors.
It’s a vanilla 2/2 for BUG
I can work with the gatherer, and it’s not that difficult to create a visual spoiler of all commanders.

Sultai does have a commander. Sultai [Legendary Creature] UBG (2/2)
Thelon of Havenwood should be in the Golgari section because of its activated ability. Otherwise, great list!
Thanks for the effort!!
unfortunately you can’t use cards that are not legendary but flip into legendary creatures because the magic rules would say that the card would be unflipped in the command zone and that your commander has to be legendary! sorry no nuzumi graverobber š
You forgot derevi empirical tactician for bant
Banned bro.
It was already said, but Thelon is a golgari commander because of his activated ability. Otherwise great list \o.
I thintk, that thelon of havenwood should be in the golgari section of the list.
Why is Thelon under green and not Golgari? He has black in his abilities.
May as well take “Hakkon, Stromgald Scourge” out.
as much as I would love to play him… there is no way to get him out of the command zone… that i can think of.
Drana Liberator of Malakir is a new commander for Tiny Leaders. You should add her in.
The tiny leader ruling is that you are allowed to use the Ana Battlemage as your sultai commander.
You are missing the legendary creatures from commander 2015, battle for zendikar, and oath of the gate watch plus shadows over innistrad is coming out in a month in a half
I couldn’t help but notice that you don’t have any of the gods. athreos and pharika are both 3 cost
nevermind I was looking at the wrong colors
I use Shu Yun, the Silent Tempest as commander in my tiny leader sample deck. check the tiny leader format here http://www.alltimehobbies.com/big-fun-with-tiny-l…
Will this continue to be updated for the newer sets coming out? Leovold gives us a Sultai commander and Depala and Olivia are interesting Boros and Rakdos leaders respectivel š
