Alright, I originally built this deck as kind of a gimmick so that I could say I have a colorless deck, but after play testing for a while now, I have found that this deck is absolutely silly. I would not call it competitive, as it has exactly zero interaction. But....

Traxos is one of the most insane engine commanders I have ever played. The entire deck is just pieces that when they get added to the deck it goes faster and faster.

The core components. Paradise Mantle is easily the MVP of the deck. Stick this on Traxos and you will have a hard time NOT playing your entire hand. Clock of Omens is the turbocharger that speeds up all the other parts of the deck, as most of the artifacts have tap effects. Traxos untapping every time you cast an artifact lets you use Clock to untap things many times a turn. Otherworld Atlas is that bottle of starter fluid you keep in the trunk to get things started fast. Combined with clock it will quickly draw you handfuls of cards. Dragon Throne of Tarkir is the gearbox that never ends, letting to infinitely gear up. This turns your mana dorks into game ending monsters when Traxos sits on the throne, and you cast 20 artifacts in 1 turn.

But the NOS is Paradox Engine. It is rare to resolve this and not instantly win the game. This combined with any of the card draw artifacts lets you draw out your entire deck, and lets you generate infinite mana with the 20+ rocks that are in the deck.

An the icing on the top is Helm of the Host. Whether you stick it on Traxos and have lots of untapping 7/7s, or put it on a mana dork for all of the value, it is always hilarious.

So I give you; Traxos, Engine of Destruction
