Rating

B-

Pros

Good attack stat.
Can Special Summon himself.
Can revive an Archfiend monster.

Cons

Must destroy an Archfiend card when Special Summoned with his own effect.
Must be tribute summoned to revive an Archfiend monster.

Tips

Archfiend Spell/Trap

Archfiend Commander only requires you to destroy an Archfiend card not specifically an Archfiend monster so destroying Spell/Trap cards might be better for maintaining board presence.

Archfiend Palabyrinth

Axe of Despair

Call of the Archfiend

Destruction Targets

Destroy these Archfiend monsters when you special summon Archfiend Commander to trigger their effects. Archfiend Cavalry and Archfiend Empress lets you revive monsters when they are destroyed. Trance Archfiend lets you recover a banished DARK monster.

Revival Targets

Archfiends have a bunch of powerful high-leveled monsters you can revive with Archfiend Commander. Here are some examples.

Archfiend Emperor, the First Lord of Horror

Archfiend Empress

Skull Archfiend of Lightning

Hmm, why not archfiend emperor on the field, tribute it for this, special summon emperor via its effect... Why u use Calvary when you just tribute summon it to revive emperor? I know its a bit hard getting emperor out...

Man, only cavalry and empress can bring back emperor when Commander is special summoned because he destroy, don't special summon another by self.

There’s no good combo we are still missing heiress unfortunately, we need heiress to make any good combos.

I feel like this can make some cool plays, but there aren't any other lvl 6 archfiend cards in-game yet that are worth comboing yet. I feel this will be awesome when more archfiend cards are released, but right now its just pretty to look at.
Oh well, better get it while its here.

I tried it with Archfiend Giant as you can see in my post below this one
If you get 1 Archfiend Giant fast and you special Summon Archfiend Commander, use the "destroy 1 Archfiend" on the Giant and use the Giant's ability to negate said destruction (500lp cost, one time only) and you have 2 nice creatures
That's one nice combo, nothing to write home about but still!

You can tribute Commander using Giant or itself and revive the tributed monster the same turn but since it's defense position, it can't attack and it's vulnerable tho' but that's that

PS = Too bad they removed Magician Robe... now i can't get it T_T

True that, and they only get better when Archfiend Heiress and Red Eyes Arch of Lightning come out eventually.

So you summon an Archfiend Giant (lvl6) then this guy and you pay 500lp to keep the giant to have both monsters on the field? Cool!
(then they both disappear thanks to Dual Wield)

Multiple scenarios in which this becomes even better when Archfiend Heiress and Red Eyes Archfiend of lightning comes out.

Currently this would be very beneficial in these 2 scenarios that can happen quite often in Archfiend decks:
1) Archfiend Emperor in the grave- personally like to use dark world dealings, or its a turn after he was summoned and then died from his normal summon effect. Summon Cavalry, special summon Commander, destroy Cavalry, special summon Emperor, powerful board setup where Emperor can pop a card using cavalry and wait for next turn as you can’t attack.
2) If you have something banished, can special summon while already having trance, destroy trance and get a card back, helpful for recycling.

3-Future) Summon Heiress, special Commander, destroy Heiress, search any Archfiend card.
•Sidenote, when Red Eyes Archfiend of Lightning comes, he will be extremely effective as you can special summon him with either CotA, or Roar, then normal summon and activate his effect, destroying an entire field of monsters with defence lower than 2500. Use beat down and this becomes 2800 to 3400 best scenario, and Archfiend Palabrynth to increase the cards attack in another way to have it get maximum effect. Hope it comes out soon.

And as a bonus, Red-Eyes Archfiend of Lightning would also help Red-Eyes decks.

This is going to be so much fun with archfiend emperor and empress. Emperor for its quick double summon: summon emperor, summon commander, summon emperor in defense mode or empress for its free commander summon (or emperor summon): summon commander while empress is on the field to either negate commander's own effect or switch empress for a emperor.
