Let’s see the best colorless commanders which is all of them since there are only nine and see how each one works. It might mean bending the rules just a little, but most groups prefer discussing the rules to see if they can be bent instead of always sticking to them.īut enough talk about rules. You can always ask your playgroup if they’re okay with you playing specific colorless cards with colored mana symbols. There can’t be a single colored mana symbol in your deck.Īs long as you can make sure all of your cards are completely colorless then your deck should be fine to play within the official Commander rules. What makes for an interesting deckbuilding exercise, though, is that any and all cards in your deck have to be completely colorless. There aren’t a ton of possibilities since there are about nine total colorless commanders, but there’s still some variety. The strategy you choose for your deck varies depending on what legendary creature you choose as your commander. And that’s what makes building a deck around a colorless commander very hard, but also very fun.
This means playing with only colorless cards. The rules of Commander are the same for colorless commanders as for any other colors. Kozilek, the Great Distortion | Illustration by Aleksi Briclot
