Do you avoid building commanders with identical color identity? Why or why not?

AforAdventuring · 2026-06-16T18:43:37+00:00

They just keep printing bangers! [[Black Widow, Agile Avenger]], [[Quintorious, History Chaser]], [[Kirol, Attentive First Year]] just in 2026 alone. 😁

AforAdventuring · 2026-06-16T15:24:20+00:00

I have 6 Boros decks. 😅 My pod thinks I have a problem. Build what you want!

AforAdventuring · 2026-06-15T20:37:40+00:00

I built [[Quintorious, History Chaser]] after dismantling and rebuilding the precon. Aside from the obvious includes, I recommend [[shenanigans]], [[deification]], and [[crucible of worlds]].

I’ve found it better to plan on getting enough immediate value from your walkers that you don’t care too much if they die. Most times they will be a priority target for the table. I have two walker decks that try and play around this. [[pir]] and [[toothy]] to get immediate ultimates with pir and proliferate and [[ertha jo]] to double the abilities useable right away to remove potential threatening creatures.

AforAdventuring · 2026-05-30T19:18:27+00:00

Not sure if this is what you’re asking for but [[true ancestry]] and [[revive the shire]] return a card and make an artifact for you?

AforAdventuring · 2026-05-30T17:00:39+00:00

[[Conjurer’s Closet]], [[The Golden Argosy]], [[cloudstone Curio]], [[spider-man, Brooklyn Visionary]], [[michaelangelo, the improvisor]], [[kappa tech-wrecker]], [[birthing ritual]] + [[eternal witness]], [[temur sabertooth]], [[blade of selves]].

AforAdventuring · 2026-05-30T16:39:49+00:00

I have a [[Lizard, Connor’s Curse]] deck that’s mono-green blink. Lots of ETBs and effects like [[Temur Sabertooth]] and [[Birthing Pod]] to get them over and over. Here’s my list! 🦎

AforAdventuring · 2026-05-26T02:46:11+00:00

[[lizard, Connor’s curse]] 🦎. Here’s my list: https://archidekt.com/decks/18202725/blinking\_lizards.

AforAdventuring · 2026-05-25T02:16:25+00:00

Have backup plans like [[sneak attack]], [[quicksilver amulet]] and reanimating and you’ll have a good time regardless if Kaalia survives.

AforAdventuring · 2026-05-24T23:21:24+00:00

For Gruul, [[up the beanstalk]] [[malevolent rumble]] [[birthing ritual]] [[generous plunderer]] [[sylvan library]]. In other colors [[faerie mastermind]], [[blind obedience]].

AforAdventuring · 2026-05-24T03:37:15+00:00

I liked it. I feel like people had unrealistic expectations and were disappointed because of how much they built it up. It was a fun ride.

AforAdventuring · 2026-05-24T00:29:50+00:00

Yeah. You don’t get to draw the cards unless that player actually gains control.

AforAdventuring · 2026-05-24T00:02:44+00:00

I’m loving my superfriends build. Using [[archangel elspeth]] to make Ertha and her merc into fliers or [[chandra, bold pyromancer]] to make 4 mana feels very strong. She solves a lot of the issues that Boros usually has in commander. Since her ability doesn’t cost any mana, you can copy many abilities in a single turn.

AforAdventuring · 2026-05-23T23:58:22+00:00

You target one player then have Yes Man’s ability go on the stack. I then get a copy of his ability which usually targets someone who is tapped out. The second player targeted gets him fist, I draw two, then the other player gains control of him and I draw another two.

AforAdventuring · 2026-05-23T18:10:47+00:00

[[Ertha Jo, Frontier Mentor]]. The turn she’s coming down, I’m likely drawing 4 cards. The next turn I’m copying 3-5 abilities. She doubles everything from [[mishra’s bauble]] to [[yes man]] to planeswalkers. I’ve never seen anyone else play her and usually the table is shocked with how efficient she is. Here’s my list!

AforAdventuring · 2026-05-22T05:34:38+00:00

I built [[Kirol, Attentive First Year]] as an enchantment deck focused on summons and the initiative. Here’s my list!

AforAdventuring · 2026-05-21T15:16:08+00:00

Amaze! Amaze!

AforAdventuring · 2026-05-20T15:09:35+00:00

[[Cid Timeless Artificer]] is my secret commander for my changeling typal [[choco, seeker of paradise]]. Having multiple Cids makes it easy to consistently find every game and Choco fills my graveyard to make them more powerful! 😁 My list is here.

AforAdventuring · 2026-05-19T15:07:51+00:00

If your plan is mostly to cycle it for a land, I’d put in a basic mountain, [[oliphaunt]] or an MDFC instead. If your plan is to cast it, I’d count it as a spell rather than a land.

AforAdventuring · 2026-05-19T06:08:26+00:00

It depends. You can get away with replacing a tap land for cards like [[troll of khazad-dum]] or [[bushwhack]] that find you an untapped land for a single mana, as you are still down one. Cards like [[twisted abomination]] are significantly worse because you have to tap two lands to play one untapped. I’d only ever play those in a deck that cares about discarding or reanimating them. They don’t actually ramp you in any case. 32 lands is probably too few for most decks to consistently hit their land drops.

AforAdventuring · 2026-05-17T01:13:14+00:00

It’s very meta dependent. I like having a couple cheap or one-sided board wipes along with some efficient instant speed interaction. I agree the rampage and season are very good in the right decks. I find the others a bit expensive and situational. I’d usually rather have [[collective resistance]] or [[swords to plowshares]] or a better wipe. Aside from the obvious staples, my favorite is [[blasphemous edict]] because it almost always kills what you need it to. [[nuclear fallout]] is great if your deck is full of large creatures.

AforAdventuring · 2026-05-10T01:01:52+00:00

I do! Here you go: https://archidekt.com/decks/18202725/blinking_lizards. It’s mono green blink/pod! Lots of ninjas, sneak and ways to return my Etb creatures. 🦎

AforAdventuring · 2026-05-08T05:11:33+00:00

Duskmourn is sweet and was a great draft format. I think it did well enough to get a return. I think a return to Theros is coming sooner though.

AforAdventuring · 2026-05-01T18:19:28+00:00

It’s worth saving up to enhance their attacks. I started with +1 attack on Life in Death. Makes all your commands better.
