Title: Colorless Commander Viable?
Post by: The1337Magician on July 31, 2013, 06:29:19 PM
Would a Commander of {Karn, Silver Golem}, {Emrakul, the Aeons Torn}, {Kozilek, Butcher of Truth}, or {Ulamog, the Infinite Gyre} be any good? Are there any more legal colorless commanders? How would it operate?

{quicksilver amulet}
{urza's mine}
{urza's tower}
{urza's power plant}
{city of traitors}
{ancient tomb}
{maze of ith}
{mystifying maze}

Affinity works really well in colourless decks...

So we all know,  {Command Tower} does not tap for colourless mana. Lol right Mr. Scotch?

Emrakul is not legal. I think the hardest part of colorless commanders is getting colorless identity lands unless your group is ok with you using basic lands

Oh ya, {command tower} is useless in a colourless EDH deck.

y isnt it useful it says its can provide any color in ur commanders color identity so if his color identity is colorless it provides a colorless

Because comand tower must produce a color. Web the card checks you commander if cinds no colors and cannot produce anything. Colorless is not a color. Command tower cannot produce mana in a colorless deck

A whole slew of three. I also forgot Emrakul can't be a commander.

I've always wanted to take on the challenge of making a {Karn, Silver Golem} colorless deck. But when I think about having to get nearly 40 completely colorless lands together...I shudder, and put the thought back on the back-burner.

I guess you could make a colorless Myr deck.
Title: Re: Colorless Commander Viable?
Post by: Double-O-Scotch on August 01, 2013, 06:05:54 PM
True, but you wouldn't be allowed to use myr like:
{silver myr}
{copper myr}
As they have a "non-colourless" colour identity due to the mana symbols.

Yes, I got excited and sent the link without thinking there were only 3! Lol, derp. You could shift it around to be an Artifact deck instead :) my boyfriend created and EDH Artifact deck that kicked my butt repeatedly.....until I busted out my Mono Blue.

Nevertheless, Artifact decks are fun!!
