Mentor also gives you hyper-aggressive lines that other control decks dont have

They are great for slotting into a deck in place of real cards that you own

While this ensures that each player is regularly attacking, whenever a creature attacks you or a Planeswalker you control, a +1/+1 counter is put on Thantis, allowing it to become a major threat if you continue to be targeted by opponents

The ring tempt opportunities are limited as are the ramp options among Grixis cards, but otherwise it makes a very strong control deck in Commander

Not obscenely powerful or anything, just entirely suitable and as good as it gets for that kind of thing
