First Ability:
Silver Sable, Mercenary Leader gives a counter of +1/+1 to another creature on the field when she enters the field. This ability has a simple and consistent effect. She buffs one of your other creatures on the field.
Therefore, you need cast Silver Sable, Mercenary Leader when you have another creature on the field. She is able to demonstrate her potential with both of her abilities. Your other creature can inflict additional damage to the opponent or opposing creature.
However, Silver Sable, Mercenary Leader is unable to increase her power and toughness with this ability. The restriction only allows her to increase the power and toughness of other creatures. This restriction hurts the offensive potential of this creature.
Second Ability:
Silver Sable, Mercenary Leader gives lifelink to a modified creature under your control when she attacks. This modified creature has the potential to increase your amount of life. This card must also be attacking the opponent.
Furthermore, Silver Sable, Mercenary Leader requires a creature with an aura, enchantment or equipment. You have a chance to gain a large amount of life because the modified creature may have an increase in power due to the modifications. They can inflict damage and increase your life.
However, the requirement of an attack from Silver Sable, Mercenary Leader is a weakness. An opponent can block this creature with a stronger creature. The opponent’s stronger card would destroy this card, and you lose her advantage.
Support:
Silver Sable, Mercenary Leader is a generic card. You can play this card in any deck with white mana. She has synergy with a variety of decks due to her generic abilities and her type of creature.
Silver Sable, Mercenary Leader and Captain America, First Avenger have synergy during combat. Captain America, First Avenger equips himself with an equipment and becomes a modified creature. Therefore, Silver Sable, Mercenary Leader may give lifelink to Captain America, First Avenger. Then, you may gain life.

Commander:
Silver Sable, Mercenary Leader supports decks with mercenaries, life gain, and modifications. This creature needs a deck with auras and equipment. She is able to showcase her full potential in those types of decks.
Therefore, Silver Sable, Mercenary Leader fits in the main deck instead of a commander. Her abilities are not great skills for a commander. Her abilities provide support to other creatures. She can strengthen your commander or another creature.
Silver Sable, Mercenary Leader and Cloud, Midgar Mercenary are a unique duo from different universes. This deck in commander features equipment for modifications. Silver Sable, Mercenary Leader may add life gain to Cloud, Midgar Mercenary when he has equipment. You have the potential to gain a large amount of life and inflict massive damage with these creatures.
Silver Sable, Mercenary Leader also has synergy with Amy Rose. Amy Rose is another creature with an ability or equipment. Their abilities complement each other. Amy Rose may increase Silver Sable, Mercenary Leader’s power by Amy Rose’s power with an equipment. Silver Sable, Mercenary adds life gain to Amy Rose during battle.

Card Rating:
Overall, Silver Sable, Mercenary Leader is a decent creature. She fits in decks with modifications such as equipment, auras, and counters. Many creatures from universes beyond benefit from this mercenary’s effects. The ability to give lifelink is her best ability during combat. She adds power and toughness to one of your creatures. Therefore, I recommend playing Silver Sable, Mercenary Leader in a casual deck with equipment and auras.
