This is going to be a fun one, Rowan has the potential to be a super strong commander. The reason for that, is that any effects that reduce the cost of spells, especially in commander are very strong. When we combine rowan, with effects that lets us pay life for free, you can quickly see how we can turn that life loss into mana, to pump into some massive spells.
