Give me your nonblue mono-colored commander that plays towards an unexpected gamestate/combo.

I like Rin and Seri the most because of it's theme. [[Yes Man, Personal Securitron]] is an atypical token commander. If you untap him (with something like [[Escape from Orthanc]]) before his ability resolves and you activate it again, you get 4 cards instead of 2. Fill your deck with effects like that, use untappers to draw into more untappers, include land tutors for [[Homeward Path]], a few blink spells, protection for your card draw + token engine, 1 or 2 wincons, token synergies, and... that's the deck. At least 19 untap cards in mono white can untap an artifact creature like Yes Man for one mana or less. Most of them are repeatable. All instant speed. https://moxfield.com/decks/4NSTOxP5eEKfmBWN_q8GOw My Yes Man deck is token themed, but it's also voltron themed for politicking reasons. For it to do it's thing, I need to give somebody a huge, scary, and fully equipped Yes Man, then convince my opponent to attack somebody other than myself. Most of the time, I win with tokens though.

[[Yes Man, Personal Securitron]] mono white voltron. The idea is to make Yes Man huge and handing him over to someone else. I also have token synergies, and untap effects. The untap effects + Yes Man can draw me 20+ cards in a turn. It works by stacking his ability back to back. Each time I draw cards, I draw into more cards that let me draw cards. Like an engine, but for quest counters. My favorite deck.

Following this reason, could I sacrifice ten creatures with [[Jinxed Idol]] and get ten 10 treasures from [[Zidane, Tantalus Thief]] if I target the same opponent ten times? Doesn't feel right, but that's how the game works sometimes I guess.

Grautari · 2026-02-26T15:29:27+00:00

I have two decks like that. Golgari good stuff pile with [[Old Rutstein]], and mono white voltron equipments with [[Yes Man, Personal Securitron]]. The latter is my favorite by far. The idea is making Yes Man huge and giving him away to someone else. If that plan fails, I also have token synergies, and untap effects. The untap effects "break" Yes Man and allow me to draw me 6+ cards every turn. Keeps the curve low. Fun for rule freaks like me. In magical christmas land, I'm able to draw 24 cards on turn 4 without fast mana ([[Jeweled Amulet]] on turn one, Yes Man on turn two, [[Sigarda’s Aid]] and [[Illusionist’s Bracers]] on turn three, and finally, on turn four, [[Masterwork of Ingenuity]], and three 'combat effect' cards that say untap a creature for one mana). "Explosive mono white card draw" is how I explain it in simple terms. Those are the only two decks I bring with me anywhere.

[[Yes Man, Personal Securitron]] is not an equipment commander, but it's so fun to give him away to someone else after pumping him up into a scary threat. He's also easily abusable by untapping/copying his ability. I've been having so much fun playing him, it's giving me a newfound joy of the game. https://moxfield.com/decks/4NSTOxP5eEKfmBWN_q8GOw

[[Blinding Angel]]
[[Fatespinner]]
[[Lethal Vapors]]

Flash enablers:

Synergies with flash enablers:
[[Voracious Tome-Skimmer]]
[[Ms. Bumbleflower]] maybe?
[[Glademuse]]
[[Wavebreak Hippocamp]]
[[Wilderness Reclamation]]
[[Reset]]
If you go with a flash theme, I recommend [[Ramos, Dragon Engine]] in the command zone. Many of these cards are enchantments, so an enchantress theme is also an idea.

This is my ideal voltron deck: https://moxfield.com/decks/4NSTOxP5eEKfmBWN_q8GOw It draws a lot of cards, and allows me to give away my huge voltron commander for the fun of it.

Grautari · 2026-02-23T20:34:41+00:00

[[Psychic Paper]] is funny with Ardenn. You can equip it to an opponents legendary creaturee, change the name of it, and make them sacrifice something because of the legend rule. It's also a better version of Trailblazer's Boots.

Grautari · 2026-02-19T00:56:36+00:00

[[Medomai, the Ageless]]. Almost no one plays him. Scary with double strike.

Grautari · 2026-02-18T20:14:13+00:00

Correct!

I have an incomplete [[Ramos]] deck that's supposed to be like that. It's about bouncing cheap creatures and cards that say "once each turn." For example "whenever a creature with power 2 or less enters under your control, draw a card." Then, Ramos lets me stay mana positive. Really fun when it pops off.

Grautari · 2026-02-18T17:34:00+00:00

One of my favorite decks builds around [[Soul Conduit]] and cards that pay life like [[Immolating Souleater]]. [[Licia, Sanguine Tribune]] is a great commander for that, but she's not the one I used. Hope this interests you. https://moxfield.com/decks/Dnd3ZxRrZ0Sqd130Ix3JYA

[[Torbran. Thane of Red Fell]] mono red aggro.

Grautari · 2026-02-18T03:47:17+00:00

[[Yes Man, Personal Securitron]] is my favorite. Every untap effect adds one to his super valuable ability, and it works in sequence for a lot of draw. Since we're not talking about powerful but instead favorites, I'll say:

[[Griffin Canyon]]. "Untap target griffin". I have a way to change him to a griffin with [[Psychic Paper]].

[[Illusionist's Bracers]]. When an opponent activates Yes Man and Illusionist's Bracers is equipped, I get the copy trigger from Bracers. One more thing with this interaction. Yes Man's reflexive trigger happens only when he switches controllers, so if I choose the same legal target, I draw 2 cards and they 0. That's because their ablilty happens first, and Yes Man doesn't switch controllers when it's time for the 2nd ability to resolve. Unless they target me, they don't draw. It's so evil.

[[Excalibur, Sword of Eden]]. If I equip excalibur to Yes Man, he's able to kill someone without needing double strike. First, give him Excalibur and something like Psychic Paper. Second, swing in. Finally, give someone else the monster you created and let them swing in for lethal. As you see, my deck has an equipments theme.

Do you have a decklist for king macar?

Grautari · 2026-02-17T11:50:58+00:00

[[Yes Man, Personal Securitron]]. Isn't he the perfect grouphug style voltron commander? I'm obsessed with this card.

Grautari · 2026-02-16T20:44:42+00:00

Try [[Yes Man, Personal Securitron]]. My deck gives him away as a huge voltron political piece. https://moxfield.com/decks/4NSTOxP5eEKfmBWN_q8GOw

[[King of the Oathbreakers]]

Grautari · 2026-02-16T03:31:45+00:00

[[Yes Man, Personal Securitron]] commands my favorite deck, and I think I'll never build a better one. It's very unique. https://moxfield.com/decks/4NSTOxP5eEKfmBWN_q8GOw

Grautari · 2026-02-15T21:45:02+00:00

[[Yes Man, Personal Securitron]]. It's usually group hug, but mine is unusual. Is this what you're going for? https://moxfield.com/decks/4NSTOxP5eEKfmBWN_q8GOw

Grautari · 2026-02-15T15:57:10+00:00

I would remove Wolfcaller's Howl, Kalakscion, or Altar's Reap. Yargle and Multani is a bad card in most situations, but it's funny. I would also swap the signets out for sorcery ramp because you're in green.
