What if I say yes, I don't have any more gold for commander???
I was thinking about the mound king for example, 3 death gems.
Or if I missed any other cheap commander.

It seems Telestic Animations don't have any misc slots, so they won't work. Hmm...

Black Servants would be just 2 gems more, for more survivability.

Do commanders desert when you can't pay them? If you have access to 30 gp commanders, 2 fire gems can be alchemized to recruit one of them.

Commanders will not desert if you can't pay them.

Kappa is 1W in CBM, for Yomi & co.

Scouts are 3 for 2F, or 2E.

Have you been Armageddoned again?

Well it would be unwise to tell you everything.

Put all your drones to get minerals, and build two more drones. Then spawn an overlord. After that, build a spawning pool and as soon as it is built set your larvae to become zerglings. Attack the enemy resource gatherers ASAP, and AFTER that, focus on their base building.

Alchemize 3 fire gems for 45 gold, and use that to recruit 2 scouts. Becomes even more cost effective with the Alchemist's Stone.

More generally, be next to someone when they drop out, and then quickly take the lands of your new AI neigbor.

Spiteful? How about bane venom charms on black servants sneaking about your opponents lands. Or pillaging any province you take upto a 1000+ unrest and killing the population. Make sure you destroy your lab the turn before someone captures your castle. Taxes upto 200% of course. Lots of other stuff you can do as well of course but there are some of the most obvious.
