The Commander

Whenever a commander you control attacks, put a +1/+1 counter on it.

Partner (You can have two commanders if both have partner.)

Guide

Gameplan

Keleth is a Partner support commander: pair it with an aggressive Partner that wants to attack, and every combat your other commander grows with a +1/+1 counter. You deploy your beater partner early, protect it, and swing repeatedly while Keleth quietly snowballs it into lethal Commander damage.

Strengths

Cheap, on-color enabler that makes any attacking Partner snowball for free
White gives elite protection, equipment, and recursion to keep attackers alive
Counter synergies stack with anthems, doublers, and combat tricks
Flexible — slots into nearly any Partner aggro/Voltron shell

Weaknesses

Does almost nothing on its own; relies entirely on a strong Partner attacker
Mono-white card draw is historically weak
Vulnerable to board wipes, edicts, and repeated commander removal
Counters can be removed and Keleth itself is fragile at 2 mana value

Key Cards

Akiri, Line-Slinger — An aggressive white Partner whose power scales with artifacts, snowballing fast with Keleth's counters.
Bruse Tarl, Boorish Herder — Partner that grants double strike, doubling Commander damage as Keleth pumps the attacker.
Swiftfoot Boots — Cheap hexproof and haste to protect your scaling commander and let it attack immediately.
Sword of Fire and Ice — Premier Voltron equipment giving evasion, protection, and value on each connected swing.
Hammer of Nazahn — Grants indestructible and free attaches, keeping your beater alive through removal.
Smothering Tithe — Best white ramp/advantage engine to fuel equipment-heavy Voltron strategies.

Upgrade Path

Pick a high-impact Partner like Akiri or Bruse Tarl and load up on protection (Swiftfoot Boots, Lightning Greaves, Whitemane Lion) plus evasion-granting swords. Add counter doublers like Hardened Scales and Doubling Season, then improve white's weak card draw with Esper Sentinel, Welcoming Vampire, and Land Tax. Mana rocks like Mana Crypt and Smothering Tithe accelerate your beater into play and protected ahead of the table.
