Okay so the title says it all. Needs tips/suggestions for a {cromat} EDH deck
Thanks
We shall call on the mighty Gorzo!
Lol you think way too highly of me.
Chromat is a great commander, but because he's 5 colors I'm not sure what advice to give. I've only seen him in decks that need 5 colors because of the extravagant combos they use as the win conditions that need 4 or 5 colors to work.
What kind of deck do you want with him? His colors and abilities leave the door pretty wide open. Just make sure have a lot of mana fixing ({darksteel ingot}, {{terramorphic expanse}/{Evolving Wilds}) and multicolor lands ({command tower}, {rupture spire}, {savage lands}, {jungle shrine}, etc)
I'm not even sure what I want to do with him. I just want to bounce some ideas around on here then build it from there. I'm more worried about the landbase
Well like Gorzo said you should think of a theme or a direction you'd like to go. Start by gathering up cheap CMC stuff. (Think {swords to plowshares}) once you've got a few cards out and in front of you, you may notice a route you'd like to take it.
If it were me and I wanted a {cromat} deck. I think I'd go the control route. Counter/kill everything everywhere. Then either combo out (pick your favorite) or just a good ol {door to nothingness} for a win.
There is also all kinds of fun things you can do with {fist of suns}.
If land base is your main concern, use green as your primary color. {Harrow}, {Rampant Growth}, {Farseek}, {Boundless Realms}, and list goes on and on of green spells that find lands of various colors that you use to get {Chromat} going, or other spells like {Door to Nothingness} and {Maelstrom Archangel}. Or just use the mass amounts of mana to drop a bomb "X-cost" card like {comet storm} or even creature fuel like {Wurmcalling}.
