Win Conditions in Mono-Blue
Commander Deck Help forum
Posted on Feb. 7, 2019, 12:16 a.m. by toxicliam
I’m a returning magic player coming back to play commander with my friends, and most of my playgroup just borrow my decks and use them. Out of all my decks, the one I get the most complaints about is my mono-blue deck Sicko Mode (Drake) not having many things to do that aren’t interaction or drawing cards before talrand is in play. What I was wondering was what are my options for early plays for future turns and potential winconditions outside of talrand that exist in mono-blue?

I have a Mechanized Production in my mono-blue artifact deck. Once it gets the pieces online and starts spewing thopters out 20 isn't hard to get to.

You could add mana rocks and then Isochron Scepter + Dramatic Reversal (neither of which are bad in the deck by themselves). This combo by itself with 2 mana production gives you infinite drake's. At 3 mana production you have infinite mana, which you can channel into Blue Sun's Zenith ing each of your opponents. Using Whispers of the Muse (again, good with talrand) is another draw to help you dig for your win con once you have infinite mana.

I reckon you should try to add more mana rocks and get your cmdr out faster otherwise if you want to get a quick combo then I suggest lab maniac something (here's my build: Fixed T7 Win! [[Kaho, Minamo Historian]] *Primer*) but then again running any alternative win cons really undermines your commander. I suggest just trying to get him out faster and not focus on alt win cons

Darkshadow327, AnchorCity, enpc, smackjack, TypicalTimmy, Aaerys: Thank you for all your suggestions, I will take a much closer look once I’m on better WiFi! Thank you!

If you decided to go with Mechanized Production as suggested by AnchorCity you may also look at adding Helm of the Host it be a great compliment to that setup

Some sort of infinite draw engine + Laboratory Maniac is a poplar one.
