alright so I have a different idea about commanders
1 they should be easyish to cast
2 they should be useful
3 they should be threatening

that said i offer up Mereike Ri Berit as my commander for this

it is designed to hold weight in both 1v1 and multiplayer though to be honest since i redid it no one in my group wants to play against it

so that is why i could use some more opinions

the idea of this is to get mereike out quick and let her get fragged; she is cheap so you can usually draw out a damnation or wrath along with some spot removal.

next i just continue pushing out stuff untill my opponents can't stop in anymore and take any key pieces of their deck if you can.

i use a tool box approach with this to get as much bang for my buck, using all the 1 drop artifacts and since you start with so much life in commander i can devote my first few turns to development and defense rather than out right attack seriously most of my time is spent waiting for a useful critter to take from my opponent.
otherwise i just wait for an opening and go for it.

i have tested this against a thrun deck and won best of three, but i havn't face some of the commander's people say are tier 1 so it could be if'y
let me know what you think i should do

Even though your deck isn't artifact based, you are in the colors for the Thopter Foundry/Sword of the Meek combo. It has been good for me when my opponents aren't playing alot of land destruction.

is there a way to protect more against Land destruction?
