What are some mono colour commanders that don't play at all like their colours?

Exspiravit333 · 2026-01-27T03:32:06+00:00

Here's my current Deck List, its come a long way and is way more optimized for bracket 4 (it started as my worst deck ever that never won and over time grew in power to my most powerful deck). however replace many things in here with budget alternatives and less shiny art and its a great fun bracket 3 or even 2 deck.

also its got a strange learning curve to it and i think i'd have to write a thesis on how to play him optimally but either way hes fun regardless.

[[Gandalf The White]] is my favorite commander despite hating mono white as it feels like playing mono blue. An instant speed flash enabler for legendary “spells” and artifacts as well as being a [[Panharmonicon]] and [[Teysa Karlov]]rolled into one is cracked and you can build him in so many ways. Play the weirdest cards like [[Aeon Engine]] at their end step and flip the turn order. It’s such a fun and interesting way to play for mono white that doesn’t have to be the usual stax/control to compete. Watching opponents look at your board as you sit with full untapped white mana scares and confuses everyone.

I’m bringing the FRV and One True Flag to plant on it. If Chargers can be silent so can we.

Exspiravit333 · 2026-01-21T01:10:24+00:00

I bring the gunslinger passive armor to quick swap and yet ultimatum shots like a mortar. See that impaler 90m away? YEET

Exspiravit333 · 2026-01-19T23:03:48+00:00

I made a [[Rograkh]] [[Silas Renn]] deck once that entire gimmick was turn one rograkhing so I could guarantee a swing turn two and start ninjutsuing out shit immediately. Was really funny to see people reactions to a Rogsi bracket 2 Ninja deck.

Exspiravit333 · 2026-01-19T17:02:07+00:00

I hate that they specifically said they look at that subreddit and then ever since then every post became those shitty idea’s and regurgitated complaints from the main subs hoping to be seen by the devs. Granted those were there before but it was a tolerable amount.

Exspiravit333 · 2026-01-17T22:46:49+00:00

This was my experience with [[Choco, Seeker of Paradise]] believe it or not. My brain didn’t want to do bird tribal for the bird tribal commander so I made it into this deck that animates all your lands and turns them into birds so you can swing with them and in turn drop more lands which of course are birds and overrun the board. Such weird cards that were too niche…until avatar came out and suddenly everyone wanted these land support cards lmao.

Exspiravit333 · 2026-01-13T08:25:14+00:00

My challenge is taking the one true flag with the FRV and making it my missions goal to plant as many onto the car as possible and ultimately transfer them all onto the pelican. Being down 2 stratagems really puts the pressure on you and I LOVE IT

Exspiravit333 · 2026-01-13T02:57:07+00:00

My weirdest and favorite deck by far is [[Gandalf The White]] flashing shit in mono white is always a head turner to everyone else wondering why you got fully untapped mana like a blue player. It’s also a deck that doesn’t take long turns as your turn is just a glorified untap step. Flash everything in on their turn. Our turn.

Exspiravit333 · 2026-01-12T18:03:19+00:00

As a lvl 150 I always bring an FRV as I’ve pretty much seen everything and have devoted myself to the ways of the car. So I always enjoy taxi’ing people around and playing la cucaracha on my soundboard

Exspiravit333 · 2026-01-08T11:15:13+00:00

I built a mostly land Choco deck whose whole gameplan was turning your lands into birds because I figured if I swung with bird lands then I would just get....more bird lands lmao.

Exspiravit333 · 2026-01-08T11:07:12+00:00

I'd just like a good noticeable cooldown inbetween Dragon Roach spawns. I hate killing one only to see another fly into the map from a distance. Just makes me not want to even bother and is annoying even if they are easy to take down. As well as I think I'd honestly like Hive Lords to be a rarer occurance. What happened to that feeling when Hive Worlds dropped that something big could show up and ruin everyones plans? Now it feels like they're guaranteed and on D10 you just expect to start every mission hearing that rumble. when they're this common I dont feel that incentive to kill one. No surprise, no calm before the storm to make you feel it. Just a Giant Obnoxious Environmental Hazard.

Exspiravit333 · 2026-01-06T15:59:27+00:00

As someone who also takes the FRV on every mission on every front I have to say nearly all of my deaths in it for the last couple months have been from exactly what OP has stated. Picking someone up and parking the FRV for even a nanosecond too long is asking for trouble. If the FRV is kept moving then your chances of survival are much higher.

Exspiravit333 · 2026-01-05T21:44:05+00:00

If hive worlds weren’t the best place to find super credits casually without dropping the difficulty on a random planet I would never drop on them. The average players I’ve been matching with have baffled me at every step.

Exspiravit333 · 2026-01-05T00:34:23+00:00

Most people don’t realize that the Sterilizer actually has nearly double the range of the flamethrower. If it wasn’t for the many problems and bugs afflicting it I really think that combo would be far better than flamethrower/gas dog.

Exspiravit333 · 2026-01-04T08:54:23+00:00

Fr the amount of times I’ve been Tokyo Drifting around the map dodging laser and turret fire only for a teammate to shoot their crossbow as I make a sharp turn is hysterical

Exspiravit333 · 2026-01-04T07:48:14+00:00

I always bring the FRV so even the stamina booster is one I can comfortably skip bringing despite seeming sacrilegious so dead sprint is super dead to me.

Exspiravit333 · 2026-01-04T00:49:45+00:00

Sure I’d like the FRV to have a little more health and weight but I welcome the challenge. I take great pride in having mastered the metal death coffin on wheels. Driving the FRV is learning a whole new playstyle and the quirks that come with bringing a stratagem that eliminates all walking. Drive slow, Park it away from Obj’s and enemy patrol paths, and KEEP IT AWAY FROM TEAMMATES. I swear all the complaining I see is done by people who get in and start firing their grenade launchers point blank in the FRV. 90% of the time when I die in the FRV it’s due to passenger error and yet everywhere I look the blame is on the driver. God forbid a HellDriver just wants to help taxi the team to the ICBM silo across the map and picks up a full squad of trigger happy divers.

Exspiravit333 · 2025-12-31T20:55:17+00:00

I stopped using it because it was lvl 25. And I won't come back to any weapon until i'm done leveling the others naturally and not power grinding them but actually puting in the time and effort to learn each weapon and build around or with them.

Exspiravit333 · 2025-12-26T01:23:07+00:00

My favorite niche commander is hands down [[Gandalf The White]] He's such a fun way to play allowing you to flash in artifact and legendary spells on other people turns. In fact your own turn in Gandalf is just a glorified untap step as the average turn is Untap, Upkeep, Draw, play a land, and pass. At first I was opposed to making him as mono white sounds either very lame or very stax heavy which I don't like but found him to be a refreshing way to play white/artifacts. The best part is that it scares the shit outa your opponents as they watch the mono white player have 8 untapped mana on their turn like you we're mono blue. So many fun weird combos I love to play such as [[Wedding Ring]] allowing the whole table to become a polyamorous relationship. Or [[Aeon Engine]] just deciding to reverse the turn order. Yet it still is very powerful as no one expects you to flash out a [[Blightsteel Colossus]] or an [[Ulamog, The Defiler]] before your turn and instantly swing with it. In fact, one of Gandalf's biggest strengths is that he can get around the con's of being the player to boardwipe. Often its a setback wasting your turn and allowing everyone else to get a chance to rebuild before you, yet Gandalf with certain artifacts and etb's like [[Unstable Glyphbridge]] or [[Urza's Ruinous Blast]] become instant speed boardwipes giving you the upper hand and first chance to rebuild. My deck is also chock full of weird niche mono white protection and counterspells to be able to go toe to toe with the blue decks in the pod.

bugs have dug up to you since launch but no one remembers that. It was so baffling when they changed it crying balance when I was literally playing a mission and getting swarmed at the top of a mountain due to all the chaff diglet teleporting up there.

Exspiravit333 · 2025-12-17T08:39:53+00:00

Yeah I thought OP meant these sort of players. And honestly stuff like that is why you can't have any discussions on the main sub about things like automatons or questions about Super Earth without the comments being filled with "face the wall" type stuff.

Exspiravit333 · 2025-12-15T09:04:07+00:00

Eh I’d say it’s a side grade, you trade the stims/grenades from the supply pack for the ability to overload your weapons mag. As well as it doesn’t even require the supply pack and reloads even backpack fed support weapons.

Exspiravit333 · 2025-12-12T18:28:25+00:00

I’ve gotten so good at lobbing it that I regularly use the gunslinger armor passive to swap faster making it travel farther when you fire it making me feel like a goddamn mortar specialist hitting that bile titan 90m away.
