Title: Colorless commander
Post by: Bixlorious on July 15, 2012, 04:59:11 PM
Is it possible to make a colorless deck with a colorless commander? I'm not quite certain what the rules for land would be and I really am not sure how good it would be but I'm bored and would like to see if it's possible to put one together. So any ideas?

It's possible.... I'm not sure how good it would be.

According to Gorzo, in a related topic, colorless generals are allowed any basic lands in the deck, except they only produce colorless mana.

Use an Eldrazi commander and mana accelerant artifacts, I guess.

Only one I can think of is banned.

{Ulamog, the Infinite Gyre} and {Kozilek, Butcher of Truth} are both legal.

Would be colorless, but he would be a very good commander actually.

Karn wouldn't be bad I'm just worried about non creature spells, all is dust is the only one I can think of

{Eldrazi Conscription} and {Not of This World} are a couple more. But as a colorless deck, most of your extra effects will come from artifacts - constant effects instead of enchantments like {Darksteel forge} and instead of instants and Sorceries you have tap-for-effect artifacts like {crown of empires} or whatever.  Lots of options.  And then there's equipment too, {Sword of Feast and Famine} and such are always nice.

{Unwinding Clock} is 100% necessary in an artifact EDH deck. {Steel overseer} as well. They are crazy by themselves, but if you are lucky enough to get both out...

Yup! I run this combo it's amazing. Throw in the {voltaic key} {sensei's divining top} combo means full hand whole game

Alright now that I know it's possible I think I'm gonna build the most badass deck I can damn this will take a while. Anymore ideas please post away because I'm still too new to this game to know all the good stuff
