October's official Banned and Restricted announcment dropped, with no changes to any format but Competitive Brawl where there were quite a few.
Kraven the Hunter and his abs are the EDHREC Commander of the Day. Ranked 1,125 with 2,108 decks, Kraven is mostly built around +1 counters and control themes, with Lich's Relic being his most-played card from Reality Fracture.

Growing up watching TV has made me think there'd be a lot more restaurants that give me my leftovers in swan-shaped foil.
Isamaru, Hound of Konda is the EDHREC Commander of the Day. This good pupper is ranked 1,976 with 663 decks primarily built around Equipment, Voltron, Auras and Dogs themes.
Nils, Discipline Enforcer is the EDHREC Commander of the Day. Nils is ranked 2,207 overall, with 494 people needing discipline in their lives. No judgment; we don't kink shame here, even if Pillow Fort and Group Hugs are your favorite themes.

Ultron, Machine Overlord is the EDHREC Commander of the Day. Ultron is ranked 3,713 with just 63 decks mostly built, as you'd guess, around Constructs and Robots. Which tbh seem a lot like the same thing.
