Budget colorless
Commander Deck Help forum

So I'm entertaining the thought of building a Kozilek, Butcher of Truth deck. I own him and Ulamog already but I don't want to invest a ton of money into the deck right away (if ever). To start I would really love opinions on the best colorless land base for the deck. I would like the cards to be below $5 and no more than $10 at the absolute highest. I would also prefer that they enter untapped. Also if you know any cheap colorless creatures/artifacts to add to the deck let me know. Thanks in advance
Kozilek tends to be really expensive to build as a large part of your deck is essentially ramp for T4 commanders and such. Just throwing that out there.

Krark-Clan Ironworks, Expedition Map, Worn Powerstone, Quicksand, Haunted Fengraf, Arcane Lighthouse, Homeward Path, Hall of the Bandit Lord, Darksteel Citadel there are tons of available lands. More then enough to build colorless on a budget.

Scorched Ruins is nice although scary to play if you think Strip Mine could make an appearance. Temple of the False God is another good one although might not always be active if going the Scorched Ruins route and Thespian's Stage is fantastic if it is able to copy either of the ones mentioned but especially Scorched Ruins as it skips the etb of having to sac lands. but i agree with TheDevicer in the sense that you really want to focus on running a lot of rocks to get to the commander as fast as possible. there are some solid options under 5 dollars like Sol Ring (obviosuly), Basalt Monolith, Sisay's Ring and Worn Powerstone. while not great in a lot of decks they feel essential in colorless builds where you need to get to 10+ mana as fast as possible.
sorry if this got too long but i recently put together a colorless deck myself and i find it pretty fun to play for a nice change of pace. feel free to look at it for any ideas.

That is something I have slowly worked towards. I am far off from it though. My mono white turned into GW Teeg though lol. I have prob 30% of colorless so far. I don't think I will get there.

my friend runs a combo in his artifact deck with Prototype Portal, Lodestone Golem just keeps making another golem every turn, it gets really frustrating if you don't have mana ramp in your hand to deal with your cards going up 1 colorless every turn. Quicksilver Amulet is nice too.

A friend of mine did a Karn deck so I want to avoid artifacts (silly statement considering colorless) as best I can. I like creatures so kozilek is my dude
White was tricky to build. I went all out life gain angel agro with akroma

This is an indespensable tool for any EDH player.
Just click on the 
, pick your commander, and you'll get every land, artifact, creature, and enchantment that can produce mana in a colorless EDH deck.

Awesome thanks sonnet666 I'll be sure to use it!
Next order of business is creatures I should use as well as cheap mana rocks.
Catastrophic Colorless is the current layout of the deck

The Urza lands are cool.
Urza's Mine, Urza's Power Plant, and Urza's Tower.
