But it’s barely holding onto fifth place in the list of zombie commanders, so let’s move on. I know Ghoulcaller Gisa would have made this list back in the day. There are lots of powerful builds with Minn, Wily Illusionist, and a lot of them go infinite if you can find your Meloku the Clouded Mirror in the 99. It’s like someone put Talrand, Urza, and Braids in a dev blender and made the perfect blue commander. Emry, Lurker of the Loch is where you go for artifact combos, which is why it’s in every other artifact deck that runs blue, it seems. Urza, Lord High Artificer is a more popular leaders of mono blue artifacts because that card is broken. An alternative or addition to the 99 is Alandra, Sky Dreamer, because Drake memes. My favorite (but least good!) build of Talrand, Sky Summoner is to use a lot of bounce cards. You can run a bunch of counters along with that in case you were hoping to decrease your popularity at the table. You can run all cantrips to turbo out drakes. Who doesn’t have this deck sleeved up? There are many builds. If you can just not lose for as long as possible, you’ll find the resources to come out on top with this value machine. I’d argue that this is one of the best decks to take into a 1v1 space. I’ve also held it in reserve to drop for a big turn later in the game if folks are leaving me alone. Naban, Dean of Iteration can really start blinking and bouncing and drawing cards and doing all sorts of nonsense pretty quickly, mostly because it’s so quick to get out. The first honest wizard tribal deck is my favorite wizard deck. Pack enough counter magic to keep Braids, Conjurer Adept, and it’s a fun way to try to get old battlecruiser cards to work in Commander. This deck asks you to hope you’re the only one at the table with a fist full of bombs like Portal to Phyrexia and Ancient Silver Dragon. I’m leaving off honorable mentions Lier, Disciple of the Drowned and Baral, Chief of Compliance, which would be really good if EDH were 1v1. There are lots of good commanders in this color that are powerful, so let’s boil it down to archetypes, just a bit. It does a similar trick with doubling ETBs, but it’s a giant bunny, a plane-invading megalomaniac, so I think you can get away with it a bit more at some tables? Best Blue Wizard Commanders It turns out that, yes, there are enough good cards to play mono white blink in Commander, and Preston, the Vanisher is giving Elesh Norn, Mother of Machines a run for her money. There are only two mono white wizard legends, and Mangara of Corondor isn’t really playable. Let’s look at the top cards in the different colors with some tips on how to build a deck around these 33 chosen mages. Wizards are a creature type, the second most common behind human (although warriors are quickly closing the gap!) Wizard commanders are legendary wizards, and there are more than 180 of them.
