The commanders ranked above represent different paths to victory

Pumping out 1/1 dorks at a very expensive rate is not winning many games these days on its own however in conjunction with equipment or Anthems or anything much of that nature such things become far more valuable

This works because state-based actions are not checked until the spell has resolved, and so there is no opportunity for the owner of the commander that was destroyed to then send that commander back to the Command Zone their first opportunity to do so is after the spell resolves

David Palumbo should definitely get credit for making this Magic icon out of a card that could easily have had forgettable art
