Reading about creature-only commander decks, now my demand avoidance is going into full overdrive and making me wonder if you could make a reasonably successful commander deck with no creatures whatsoever (e.g.: with one of the few planeswalkers that can be a commander).

@xgranade I'm sure you could
I would want it to be mostly token-makers though. Like the Ajani that makes pridemates.

This is obviously ridiculous and quite daft besides, but it's funny, and that's obviously more important than practical.

If you're playing Magic, presumably it's at least in part to have fun? Making shitpost decks that completely violate expectations is definitely one way to do that — I've been making colorless decks since early Mirrodin, so it's definitely something I've enjoyed, to be sure.

@xgranade that's a huge part of playing mtg imo. there are tons of shitpost decks on youtube that are worth checking out

xgranade,
@xgranade@wandering.shop avatar

@xyhhx Oh, yeah. I'm proud of the deck I made entirely around the goal of getting Mimic Vat to imprint on a Mimic Vat, even with the singleton restriction in Commander.

@xgranade I came up with a Crime Block format recently, but haven't gotten anyone to play with me yet

xgranade,
@xgranade@wandering.shop avatar

@WizardOfDocs Oh, that sounds interesting! I'm currently trying to make a Be Gay, Do Crimes deck with the new crime keyword, fwiw.

@WizardOfDocs@wandering.shop avatar

@xgranade oh sweet. K&T?

@WizardOfDocs Was thinking Sisay, Weatherlight Captain for color identity. She's not in canon gay, but.........

@WizardOfDocs@wandering.shop avatar

@xgranade yeah, I mean, you gotta use the whole rainbow :P

xgranade,
@xgranade@wandering.shop avatar

@WizardOfDocs Exactly, yeah. Also, as it turns out, WHO has about as many queer characters as all other sets combined...

WizardOfDocs,
@WizardOfDocs@wandering.shop avatar

@xgranade not sure whether that says good things about Doctor Who or bad things about Magic story

[but I have played with the WHO decks, and I don't think I'd do it again. Waaay too many words per card.]

xgranade,
@xgranade@wandering.shop avatar

@WizardOfDocs Both? But yeah, there's a lot of cute rules to WHO that might just be too cute?

@WizardOfDocs@wandering.shop avatar

@xgranade I did enjoy Doctor's Companion though
So much flavor

@xgranade Crime Block would be New Capenna, Thunder Junction, and Murders at Karlov Manor. There are some fun Brawl commanders in there.

@WizardOfDocs Ooooo, nice!
