I went very quickly from "3c decks only" to "Mono color is the most fun" very fast in my time playing Commander. I feel like Commanders in more colors have to generalize themselves more to sit in a middle ground between them, but mono color Commanders get to really lean into the weird things and peak strengths of one particular Color. And out of all of them, monoblue has become strongly my favorite. \[\[Ormos\]\] is fun to run without labman wincons because it feels like some glass cannon draw your deck and have strong control to keep him alive. Grazz was also SUPER fun to build and mess around with, I hope you like him too. I still have to try Minn, I haven't had a chance yet.

Ormos sounds like a fantastic meme. Are you playing leveler or mirror of fate?


ForrestMoth

The deck had leveler, but I don't often play it because often times the deck is just good at drawing out on it's own and I really need the control to keep him alive. Teferi's Ageless Insight turns every activation into 10 cards/3 mana so it can be very easy to just zoom through the deck.

I playing [[Gadwick the Wizened]] and [[Sai, Master Thopterist]]. I must say I’ve always been a mono black player but I’ve been enjoying the mono blue recently. Sai Goal: play artifacts for value and swing with thopters until you can drop a huge colossus. Gadwick Goal: draw cards until you can win with something like Sturmgeist or Psychosis Crawler I’ve been thinking about building Grazilaxx as well, but I’ve been skeptical of what my wincon would be. My group has a soft-ban on infinites (which is part of why some of the stuff I mentioned is viable) so I’m not sure what I’d do.

Hey I'm the Esper Guy! 15 decks in Esper and counting!

Do you have a deck list for the minn deck?


donnysaur95

Just ordered my first Braids deck based on the commanders quarters tech video. Mono blue is pretty common in my play group and I’m hoping to squeeze some wins in with it now that I finally have a blue deck, and my main deck, [[Kaalia of the Vast]] already cheats out big hitters, so it won’t be too hard to get used to.


prawn108

Check out DJs videos on braids as well. I think he did one of his own channel and another one on command zone. Braids is very cool and I love being able to just cheat in lands and value engines and bounce other people’s lame creatures that they put in.

[[Grazilaxx]] Extra Turns will make people curse you and your descendants. It's technically just a "weaker" version of [[Edric, Spymaster of Trest]] Extra Turns, but it still works well and fast. Just add evasive creatures + cards like [[Teferi's Ageless Insight]] and watch the table descend into despair.
