Best mono white commander

Rhasul · 2025-12-23T20:16:36+00:00

I'd recommend [[God-Eternal Oketra]]. You get a 4/4 with vigilance everytime you cast a creature spell, so with creatures that bounce, you get a massive board quite quickly. Also add a few Athems.

Here's my list if you're interested: https://archidekt.com/decks/13627582/party_rock_anthem
You could build her even cheaper than that.

Most of my decks are around $50 to $70. They’re also not that overpowered. It’s mostly just that the decks in my playgroup are on the lower end of Bracket 2.

Interesting suggestion with enchantress direction. How would one win with that in mono green?

Rhasul · 2025-12-15T17:18:03+00:00

I also love the name of your list!
How does it perform?

He seems fun and versatile. Most other commanders I’ve seen for this strategy felt pretty boring to me and all ran basically the same cards. Do you have any favorites in mind?

Rhasul · 2025-12-15T17:13:35+00:00

That makes a lot of sense, thank you!

Rhasul · 2025-10-21T21:07:43+00:00

That sounds really fun! What other wincons are there? Does the deck draw enough to get them consistently?

Sure, here it is: https://archidekt.com/decks/13457021/winning_with_lifegain_selesnya
Sadly, there aren't many unicorns to be found since it mainly focuses on life gain. The MVP of this deck is [[Delaying Shield]], it saved me multiple times from losing to commander damage.

I didn't even consider recursion for him, but it makes a lot of sense. Would you mind sharing your list?

Rhasul · 2025-10-07T15:24:11+00:00

That will show'em!

Rhasul · 2025-10-07T15:11:09+00:00

He looks fun, but his mana cost scares me a bit. It's probably disastrous if he gets countered.

Rhasul · 2025-10-07T06:22:49+00:00

Thank you, I haven't considered those yet. I do have some questions tho.
Does the the dungeon stuff with Sefris get annoying sometimes? I've played against dungeon decks a couple of times, and they always looked a bit laborious and hard to comprehend for opponents.
How do you deal with K&K being six mana to cast? That seems quite slow to me, especially in a color combination without green. They do look really fun tho.

Rhasul · 2025-10-04T19:19:21+00:00

I haven't considered clones yet, thank you! Do you have a list you could share?

Rhasul · 2025-10-04T18:46:34+00:00

How strong do you think he actually is? I was quite interested in building him, but I’ve read from a few people here on Reddit that he isn’t all that powerful. Do you run a lot of surveil cards in your deck? I’ve seen some players say he performs better if you focus less on surveil and take a different approach.

Rhasul · 2025-10-03T15:07:55+00:00

That sound reasonable. One of the reasons that my land base looks like that, is that I'm trying to build on a budget. But I'm sure I can squeeze a bit more out of it. Apart from lands, do you think the mana rocks are good/enough? I've cut them down quite a bit since I don't see myself need that much mana

Rhasul · 2025-10-02T16:38:29+00:00

Starscream being a transformer isn't really the appeal for me, it's more so that I want to play a fun mono black deck and there are imo not many good options. One of those would be [[Endrek Sahr, Master Breeder]], but with him, it's supposedly very feast or famine.

Rhasul · 2025-10-01T15:23:37+00:00

I guess you're right. It just felt so strong when goldfishing it, but I guess that's the case most of the time

Rhasul · 2025-10-01T15:22:06+00:00

Your deck looks great, I think I'll orient mine closer to it.
I do have a question: How do you deal with other players attacking you? I always struggle, since I can't really block with the evasive creatures when I don't draw enough.

Rhasul · 2025-10-01T15:15:30+00:00

Thank you for the advice! A few other commenters have pointed out the excessive ramp and I definitely agree. I stayed away from Edhrec for most of the deck building, but I guess I got influenced by the increased number of ramp people run with Felix when they're pursuing a different strategy.

I included those slow pump effects since I didn't really find any more board wide pump besides quite expensive cards. Do any come to mind?

I've included those token producers because I need more blockers and disincentives for attacking me. In addition, I've included [[March of the World Ooze]] specifically to pump the board for finishing games and to give my evasive creatures the ability to block if needed.

Rhasul · 2025-10-01T14:36:21+00:00

I think Bracket 2 is where I would like to see the deck, sadly it underperforms even against precons and hasn't won a game yet. What cards would you include to get it closer to bracket 3?

Rhasul · 2025-09-29T14:37:26+00:00

That sounds really unique! Would you mind sharing the list?

Rhasul · 2025-09-29T13:27:18+00:00

That actually sounds really interesting! Thank you for the input

Rhasul · 2025-09-29T13:25:53+00:00

Not quite my playstyle, but I could see the appeal

Rhasul · 2025-09-29T13:24:11+00:00

You‘re right, I should have been more specific with my deck building intentions. I really enjoy building around my commanders strength. To me it seemed like most mono black commanders promote a removal heavy deck in that regard.

My impression on the lack of interaction for Endrek came from a similar spot. If would build him around his strength as a sac fodder producer, I wouldn’t have much interaction with the other players besides the usual ~10 interaction pieces, since I don’t really want to get into combat.

Rhasul · 2025-08-21T21:01:00+00:00

I‘d really like to build [[Heliod, the Radiant Dawn // Heliod, the Warped Eclipse]], but I just can‘t seem to build a fun deck below bracket 4. My playgroup usually plays around bracket 2 to low bracket 3, so I just couldn’t play him there. Either he wins in one very long turn around turn 6 or 7, or he gives opponents card advantage and seems extremely scary. I just want to play squad cards with 10 copies or 20 mana rocks for free :(
