I knew it wasn’t going anywhere even when I decided to make this a goblin deck. For example, Terror of the Peaks was the first card I slotted into the 99. I didn’t stick strictly to goblins for the powerful creatures. This deck went from being a one-trick-pony to having a few alternatives of how to finish off your opponents by including some goblin tribal support like Goblin King and Goblin Trashmaster. This meant including lots of cards that make token creatures.Ī lot of red’s token generators make Goblin tokens, so I naturally fell into making a deck that largely focuses on goblins. There are a few ways you can make a Purphoros deck, but I want to make sure to get as many ETB triggers as possible. Let’s look at this mono-red deck and see how a mono-color build can be just as good, even sometimes better, than multicolored ones! I chose Purphoros, God of the Forge thanks mainly to its triggered ability, but also because it’s a bit harder to remove than other commanders, making it more likely that you’ll be able to keep it on the field. This allows red to do what it does best: close out games quickly. When looking for a commander to lead my mono-red deck, I knew I wanted one that could help accelerate the game by doing direct damage to my opponents. You also have some cards that specifically shut down multicolor strategies that won’t affect your game very much, if at all. You can play more cards with three, even four, red pips in their casting cost because most of your lands produce red mana. Your land base can be much simpler, and in turn much cheaper, than a multicolor deck. Looking at a mono-red deck like the one I’ve made, there are some obvious benefits that immediately pop out. You still shouldn’t shy away from the challenge, and there are lots of positive aspects to a mono-color Commander deck to make up for what you lose. Your choices are a lot more limited, and you lose out on all the great ways multicolored decks combine powerful strategies from each color of mana. Making a mono-color Commander deck sometimes be a bit intimidating. Purphoros, God of the Forge | Illustration by Eric Deschamps
