I'm building a deck with a lot of red source deals burn damage, and I need to pick a commander. I have [[Urabrask]], [[Torbran]] and [[Syr Carah]] readily available, and would like to avoid purchasing more cards. So which one do you think would work better? They're all going in the deck. Torbran obv deals more damage, so it's on theme. Urabrask helps in playing more cards per turn, and pings. Carah gives impulsive card draw. I think they're all good, but I can't seem to decide which is more important to have in my command zone (or more importantly, recur)

Multiple cards match “Torbran”, can you be more specific?
