Reyhan, Last of the Abzan. You give your opponent a dilemma in combat: block Wiitigo and let it grow stronger, or block it and kill it and let something else grow bigger for later. (Or take the damage.) Loads of commanders can care about making Wiitigo huge, but only Reyhan can make even blocking and killing Wiitigo a bad proposition. Dilemmas like this are nice because they make situations win/win for you, but also suck up the opponent's mental resources so they have less to spend on decision-making elsewhere.
You're in BG, so you have +1/+1 counter doublers (
Corpsejack Menace,
Hardened Scales) as well as +1/+1 counter adding/moving effects so you can keep Wiitigo stocked up even if it never gets blocked, so often your opponent's best choice will be take the damage or chump block, meaning a net loss for them. Give it trample and that's still their only choices, only they're worse now (chump block 0 to many creatures to absorb some of the damage). Any loss for you (Wiitigo dying) turns into a huge gain.
Partner Reyhan up with
Ikra Shidiqi, the Usurper to get a two color deck for the consistency to cast that 3GGG cost easily, and to make chump blocking the only good (but still bad) option.
Kresh the Bloodbraided is a runner up but if all you care is power you can do better than 6/6 for 3GGG (and that cost in a three color deck too).
