Top 5 Strongest Colorless Commanders In Magic: The Gathering

Magic: The Gathering's widely popular Commander format allows players to construct decks that revolve around a legendary creature of their choice that is reliably accessible during each game. One defining element of the Commander format is that decks can only contain cards within their commander's color identity, making commanders of three or more colors quite popular.

Despite this, players can build decks completely devoid of colored spells if they utilize a colorless commander. While there are fewer colorless commander options available than there are commanders of other color identities, there are still several powerful legendary creatures available for those looking to construct a colorless commander deck. So we're going to examine the strongest colorless commanders in Magic: The Gathering!

THEGAMER VIDEO OF THE DAY

5 Hope Of Ghirapur

Printed in Aether Revolt, Hope of Ghirapur is an incredibly efficient colorless commander that can be built in numerous ways from Control to Voltron. For a single one-mana, the Hope of Ghirapur is a 1/1 Thopter artifact creature – Hope of Ghirapur costs only a single mana, allowing it to reliably be cast during the first turn of each game. While its efficiency and evasion make it a solid choice for Voltron decks that want to start attacking as quickly as possible, the Hope of Ghirapur can also offer control advantages.

This is because if you've dealt combat damage to a player with the Hope of Ghirapur, it can be sacrificed, preventing that player from casting noncreature spells until your next turn, causing serious headaches for any deck that revolves around any card type besides creatures.

4 Ulamog, The Ceaseless Hunger

Ulamog, the Ceaseless Hunger is the second iteration of one of the iconic Eldrazi trio, serving as a devasting finisher that a deck could access reliably if used as a commander. Though demanding a steep mana cost of ten mana, this 10/10 indestructible Eldrazi is well worth the effort, immediately exiling any two target permanents as soon as it enters the battlefield.

In addition to serving as flexible removal and a massive body in combat, this creature immediately puts your opponents on a timer, as whenever Ulamog attacks, you exile the top twenty cards of the defending player's library. As Ulamog is a mana-intensive and self-sufficient card, Ulamog decks can include an extreme number of mana accelerants to help play Ulamog as quickly as possible.

3 Traxos, Scourge Of Kroog

Traxos, Scourge of Kroog is an undercosted colorless commander that synergizes with many of the most powerful artifacts in the entire commander format. For the cost of four mana, this sizable 7/7 with trample has the downside of entering the battlefield tapped and not naturally untapping during your upkeep. However, Traxos can be untapped whenever you cast a historic spell.

As artifacts are in fact historic spells, this means that a colorless deck such as one helmed by Traxos can be made up nearly entirely by artifacts, causing you to untap Traxos whenever you cast a spell! As this mitigates Traxos's key downside, it can serve as a massive threat, perfect to suit up with powerful equipment cards.

2 Karn, Silver Golem

For those looking to build a completely colorless artifact deck, Karn, Silver Golem is easily the most powerful option available, allowing you to fill your deck to the brim with the best utility artifacts in the game whilst still having access to a solid offense and defense. A 4/4 Golem for five mana that gets -4/+4 whenever it blocks or becomes blocked, the key appeal of Karn is the manner in which it interacts with your other artifact cards. For one mana, Karn's activated ability allows it to temporarily turn one of your noncreature artifacts into an artifact creature with a power and toughness equal to its mana value until the end of the turn.

This means that a Karn deck doesn't need to concern itself with including many creatures to attack or block with, as it can be used to turn anything from an Unwinding Clock to a Darksteel Forge into an offensive or defensive body on the board. Even the likes of your mana rocks can offer offensive value or help keep you afloat when in a bind.

1 Kozilek, The Great Distortion

Though mana intensive, boasting a mana cost of ten, Kozilek, the Great Distortion is an incredibly powerful control commander that can make an opponent's life a nightmare as soon as it hits the table. A massive 12/12 Eldrazi with menace, Kozilek ensures that you have access to a full grip of cards, allowing you to draw until you have seven cards in hand when it initially enters the battlefield.

This is key, as Kozilek provides each card in your hand with a nefarious alternative use as long as it's in play. At any time, you can discard a card from your hand in order to counter a spell with that card's mana value. This means that if you're able to access consistent card draw and your deck features a diverse spread of mana costs, you can reliably counter any spell an opponent may cast!
