Best Tri-Colored General for a GOD-themed EDH deck?
Commander (EDH) forum
Posted on July 27, 2015, 1:33 p.m. by Dreno33
Hey everyone, I wanted to create a God-themed EDH deck. After trying a few things with 5 colors I decided to drop it down to 4 colors and go from there. The only color I prefer is black so I may include Gray Merchant and erebos since I will be planning to try and turn my Gods on ;)
Give thoughts, explanations to commander choice, and synergistic cards.
Thanks!
Why tri-color? Progenitus gives two points of Devotion to every color, and is hard to remove, just like the Gods. ;-)
Only thing that would make it better would be FOUR points of devotion to every color. ;-D

thanks... i get it. However I still wanted to try a 3-colored general, hence my post. Please don't advertise your own decks. That is not what this forum is for.

If you want to go tri-color enchantments (gods), I would recommend Karador, Ghost Chieftain because that's the best non-5 color combination for enchantments.

Abzan Starpalescance? With Starfield of Nyx, Opalescence, and Leylines?

Agunman, Why is that the best general for abzan enchantments?
Maringam, I am liking this idea. Had considered it in my 5 color version but scrapped the whole deck. hmm(:

Sorry, I just mentioned him because of his color combination. He's nice for recurring your gods, but you could use practically any WBG general.

Marchesa, the Black Rose or Angus Mackenzie.
You can use Captain Sisay as a god tutor.

Sen Triplets or Oloro, Ageless Ascetic could be fun in Esper Gods.
In Sultai/Mardu, I'd go Tasigur, the Golden Fang, Alesha, Who Smiles at Death or Tariel, Reckoner of Souls.
Don't forget about the Nephilim!

I say for flavor reasons, if your building a god deck then the only commander you can use is Karona, False God lol.

that was the first choice, abenz419. Seemed fun, but in playtesting was really underwhelming it seemed. Plus against voltron, it just buffs it +3/+3 which I cannot afford, lolol.
If I were to do 5-color, it would be Child of Alara with board wipe control.

Zur the Enchanter can search out Thassa, God of the Sea and Athreos, God of Passage

Well, there's only one commander that can be cast with a 4-color mana base (Reaper King), but I don't think that he makes sense for the deck.
Really the only commander that works with gods, regardless of colors, is Child of Alara. With her, the indestructible gods are easily powerful, and just pack a lot of tutors to get them all pretty quick which turns them online.
