I was looking at another challenge that hadn't been judged and then saw that one and decided I liked it better forgetting the purposes of these...
[Ignore this I'm changing it]
Though he may be a little overpowered, I think he would be very fun to play, mainly with rebound and suspend cards (I would even play Dichotomancy with him). He also sort of fixes your mana, letting you play one colour as another.
Cheers everyone!
That's wonderful!
Congratulations! May many blessings come your way!
Well then I'll submit this

I would play this commander in a deck with lots of landfall abilities, or abilities that benefit tokens given that the tokens this commander summons do not disappear at the end of your turn.
Mother Tideswell fits into a good old-fashioned blue beaters deck. Because Magic isn't about counterspells or combos. It's about PLAYING LARGE CREATURES and TURNING THEM SIDEWAYS.
I can see him being a control commander, allowing you to draw cards from being the only creature, while not needing them, using cards that limit attacking you like propaganda and anything that disrupts creatures.
This commander would be an equipment voltron kind of commander. It would strive for getting three artifacts on the battlefield as soon as possible and turn him sideways.
Maybe some disruption themes, get to cast cards from other players, the specific theme doesn't stick out to me but I am sure that this (being so powerful) would find it's way somewhere. The reason that its abilities are powerful is because he is easy to target and kill (being no protection and 2 toughness).
