Is it possible to make a colorless Commander deck?
Direct answer: Yes, it is possible to build a colorless Commander deck. To do so, you would need to create a commander with a colorless mana cost and have all other cards in the deck follow suit, sharing the colorless trait. This concept may seem abstract, but it is perfectly viable.
Understanding the Basics of Commander
The Commander format is a way to play Magic: The Gathering games with a predetermined commander in mind. In this context, the commander is essentially the "host" that sets the theme and scope for the entire deck. With a colorless commander deck, the theme would center around colorless cards with no mana requirement.
Colorless Magic Cards and Their Characteristics
In order to create a colorless Commander deck, you need to identify which cards would fit this classification. Most cards have colors associated with them, meaning they generate mana in the corresponding colors. Exceptions to this rule include the following colorless cards:
- **Colorless lands** like Inkmoth Nexus, Gemstone Caverns, City Of Traitors, Ancient Tomb, and Library of Alexandria.
- **Monocolored spells** (spells without colored mana symbols) in the following categories: Non-rotating sets like Modern or Legacy; Set-specific; and Artifacts, Creators, Lands, Other, and spells.
- **Certain Eldrazi cards** with colorless mana requirements, like Elder Dragon Golos or Elder Dragon Golos, in the Phyrexian world or other sources.
- **Artifacts** having no mana symbol, being colorless itself, generating colorless energy, allowing for no coloured mana needs.
Additional Considerations:
- For a more interesting experience in the 1v1 format: You might limit the choices of creatures having a limited number of legs, flying, and ground.
- More complex with multiple opponents you can control the amount and type of creatures on a battlefield without any colors tied to abilities.
- Using colorless artifact creatures helps to manage both sides the battlefield in battle.
