Board clear deck ideas?
Commander Deck Help forum

I've recently had the (not super creative) idea of making a Board clear deck. Personally i'm not too familiar with making commander decks, but i thought i'd give it a go.
Right now the idea be-hide the deck is either B/W with Athreos, God of Passage or B/W/U with Oloro, Ageless Ascetic or Sen Triplets, and just as many board clears as is reasonable in a "board clear deck". But i'm having a few problems thinking about some cool combos and a win condition. Any suggestions are very much appreciated!

I like Athreos, God of Passage as a commander.

Yea i'm leaning towards B/W Athreos, God of Passage. There are a few cool blue board clear card, but it's so far just not enough to splash for blue and change to B/W/U. Plus Athreos, God of Passage fits board clearing super well.

You could go five colour with Child of Alara that gives you access to every single board clear

Well Child of Alara is super funny, I don't have any problems with my number of board clears in B/W. As of right now i have 40ish possible board clears in the deck. What i really need is a way to win or just something else cool i can do with board clears other then clear the board.

Faith's Reward, Lifeline, Deathrender, Cauldron of Souls, Last Laugh can be pretty fun in BW

I like Athreos, God of Passage as a commander for this kind of strategy but be prepared for things to get very political as you will have to decide who chooses whether your creatures hit the bin or not. I play a Shadowborn Apostle version but I think these cards could go in either version as they just plain work well With Athreos.
She isn't in my deck but if you were playing board wipes then Avacyn, Angel of Hope would do well.

Zurgo Helmsmasher is a solid commander.
Nothing says "**** you" quite like smashing someone's face with Worldslayer and being the only one with permanents.

I would even use Mageta the Lion as a commander.
