I’m not sure what kind of format this deck is but if its Commander, Grandeur is pretty hilariously useless:

Baru, Fist of Krosa, Korlash, Heir to Blackblade, Linessa, Zephyr Mage, Oriss, Samite Guardian, Tarox Bladewing

Kalemne, Iroas's Champion

Legendary Enchantment Creature - Giant Demigod

Haste, vigilance, trample, double strike.

~ can't be blocked by creatures with power greater than your devotion to red and white.

2/4


Make a Legendary creature that has a Grandeur ability (Tarox Bladewing and Korlash, Heir to Blackblade) AND has the text "A deck may contain up to 5 copies of ~."

Nassren-Nerssan

Legendary Creature - Dragon Kraken

Shroud, islandwalk, protection from humans, menace.

Your maximum hand size is increased by 3.

Whenever ~ deals combat damage to a player, draw 2 cards, then discard a card.

Whenever one or more human creatures deal combat damage to you, if ~ is untapped, tap it. If ~ is tapped, sacrifice it.

When ~ dies or is exiled, scry 10.

5/5


Based (loosely) around the Loch Ness Monster (Dragon Kraken typing, shroud/pro-human showing its elusiveness, humans hitting you means they discover it, so it dies, you get the idea). Not everything is based on the Loch Ness Monster, but I wanted to make a dragon for this plane.

Make a planeswalker for this plane (it can be Kiora if you are having trouble thinking of another walker that would be on this plane) that has Grandeur ( Oriss, Samite Guardian , Tarox Bladewing , as examples).

Atraxa, Gift of the Cenobite

Legendary Creature - Phyrexian Angel

Flying, infect, deathtouch.

Whenever another Phyrexian enters the battlefield, proliferate. If that creature has infect, scry 2.

4/6


Back in future sight, there was a mechanic called "Grandeur" (see Korlash, Heir to Blackblade and Tarox Bladewing ). Make another legendary creature with grandeur.

Krenko, Mobcaller

Legendary Creature - Goblin

Haste

Tribunal - whenever any player attacks, if red sources you control have dealt more damage than sources that player controls, create X 1/1 red goblin creature tokens equal to the difference.

2/3

flamingseahorse I chose Tarox Bladewing because I enjoy the confused, "what??" I get from people when they look at my commanders. I also play Norin the Wary and Mishra, Artificer Prodigy lol. I couldn't find any other commander that would synergize with this deck so I chose something that wouldn't be seen as much of a threat.

I didn't include Lion's Eye Diamond because I don't own one xP

Why Tarox Bladewing and why no Lion's Eye Diamond

MagicalHacker on Most Useless Commander?

So if you could design the most broken commander, it would have these three qualities: low converted mana cost, the color identity of many powerful colors, and abilities that are powerful. You won't find a single tier 1 commander lacking any of those except maybe when the color identity and abilities are so good that it excuses a high cmc. So, the worst commander then must lack all three of those qualities, right?

This means DERPLINGSUPREME, Gidgetimer, Faceless_Being, The_Raven, Bushwhack, K34, Atony1400, Phaetion, and DarkLaw missed the mark when they answered multicolored commanders. There are even worse commanders than playing a multicolored 99-card highlander deck.

It also means that suggesting a mono-green, mono-blue, or mono-green commander is not as bad as possible, so DruneGrey, NecroPony, fadelightningmm, Raging_Squiggle, __fense, SamCre1993, and DarkLaw were also off when they suggested that there can't be anything worse than running a mono-blue, mono-black, or mono-green 99-card highlander deck.

Colorless would be the worst color identity, but all the commanders have powerful abilities.

Mono-red is the next worst color identity (it's picked up popularity after getting powerful commanders as opposed to powerful cards for the 99), so let's look for an expensive vanilla card or an expensive self-hurting card. So objectively, 123katty's suggestion of Mannichi, the Fevered Dream and SamCre1993's suggestion of Tarox Bladewing were the closest of the previous comments, but I intend to show that those commanders are still not the worst. They both had non-hurting abilities, and they both were pretty inexpensive.


It is my argument that the worst commander possible is Myojin of Infinite Rage.


Not only is it the most expensive mono-red commander, it also has no ability unless you can move it from the command zone to your hand and then cast it. Even if you manage to do that in the color that has literally one tutor to do that at 4 mana or less, it only gives you the option of an indestructible but chump-blockable 7/4 or destroying all lands, including yours. Otherwise, I hope you like paying 10 mana for a vanilla creature that can be killed with a Mizzium Mortars.

I hope you can see why it is definitely the worst commander, and if I missed anything, I'd love to discuss it more!
