For these commanders, we manually curated speed modifiers and archetype tags: Kinnan, Bonder Prodigy: speed -2, combo archetype ("infinite mana into activated ability creature cheats") Najeela, the Blade-Blossom: speed -2, aggro+combo ("infinite combat steps with any WUBRG source") Urza, Lord High Artificer: speed -2, artifacts+combo ("artifact combo and infinite mana") There are 16 commanders in this table, all chosen because their power comes from synergy with the 99 rather than their individual text
