I love Cromat!! My buddy used to play him back in 2012 when we started playing commander. Time has aged that guy lol

Go with the OG 5 color commander, Cromat! Bonus points if you actually cast him and force people to read him over and over when you attack :)

Cromat is the best! This deck is a really cool concept.

Isu the Abominable would add Future Sight value to this list.

Winter's Night doubling your mana exclusively might be useful.

DrukenReaps on Alternate Ban List

1 year ago

I've never really been a fan of the ban list used for commander. I don't think it addresses potential problem cards the right way. There's always going to be a new problem card printed. I also think there's cards stuck on there that use to be scary and just aren't now. Like when Worldfire came off and no one really cared lol. So I wanted to just go through the mental exercise of designing a new ban list. First thing is I wanted to bring back the old "banned as commander" and therefore have 2 ban lists. The argument I heard most against this is that it's complicated but we play the most complex deck design game in MTG. I think people can handle 2 ban lists. For the banned from the 99 part of the list I was thinking I'd focus on fast tutors and fast mana. Like I said there will always be more problem cards. Many that aren't banned are arguably stronger than banned ones currently. For example Godo, Bandit Warlord + Helm of the Host is arguably easier and more consistent than Cromat + Coalition Victory.

So here are the 2 lists, they do not contain everything. Just wanted to start the idea and see people's thoughts.

Banned as Commander- Braids, Cabal Minion Emrakul, the Aeons Torn Griselbrand Iona, Shield of Emeria Leovold, Emissary of Trest

Banned from the 99- Mox Emerald Mox Jet Mox Pearl Mox Ruby Mox Sapphire Black Lotus Channel Sol Ring Mana Crypt Mana Vault Worldly Tutor Enlightened Tutor Personal Tutor Vampiric Tutor Demonic Tutor Mystical Tutor

I would also simply declare that Companion doesn't work in Commander. So you can play your Lutri, the Spellchaser if you so desire. I think this mechanic as a whole was poorly thought out and poorly tested, hence the changes and bans across multiple formats.

DemonDragonJ on Commander Masters Previews and Speculation

Neither Fervent Charge nor Cromat have ever been reprinted, so I would like to see them in the new card frame, and I also think that Chromatic Orrery should be reprinted to bring down its price, as well.

SufferFromEDHD on There's Treasure Everywhere

BX223Hunter exactly. Something to use extra treasure on. My other choice was Cromat.

It needs a revisit as treasure continues to get printed and pushed. Playing with all the artifact lands is a real treat. Lots of silly synergies. Artificer's Intuition + Surly Badgersaur is so janky and so good. Wins games.

How's 4 color Breya playing out?

A lot of your lands enter tapped, so even though it's expensive, you should possibly interest yourself with an Amulet of Vigor. And maybe more synergistic with your deck, an Archelos, Lagoon Mystic. A lot of your legendary permanents are also mono colored, so you should try and find more multicolored cards. I would have suggested Defiler of Souls if Sisay herself wasn't mono white. Also, it's any legendary permanent, so you could even run the cycle of shrines (Honden and Sanctum cycles), or just the rainbow one, Sanctum of All, since that would give you all the colors. On the note of rainbow dudes, Child of Alara, O-Kagachi, Vengeful Kami, and Cromat (who is hilarious), or something like them would be good maybe.

A card that you really should have though is Spirit of Resistance (once you get some more rainbow permanents). The only problem with rainbow permanents is that they cost at least five each, though you will already be open to paying that since you are going to activate Sisay's ability.

Skip casting costs with Dragon Arch.

Since you really want to activate Sisay's ability, maybe something like Chromatic Orrery or Chromatic Lantern would be good. Faeburrow Elder is perfect for this deck too.

Watch out for aggro strats and anything that's efficient, this deck seems really slow.

Finally, sorry about this, but you should take all these suggestions with a grain of salt because I am also not the best at magic.

What about Cromat
