Strategy

Emrakul untaps every land you control when you cast it, which means a ten-mana commander effectively refunds its own cost and leaves you a full turn of mana afterwards. The deck is entirely colorless, so the usual fixing is replaced by lands and rocks that simply produce more.

Early: Ramp with artifacts and the Urzatron. Sol Ring, Mana Vault, Worn Powerstone and Thran Dynamo cover the early turns, while Urza's Tower, Mine and Power Plant together produce seven mana from three lands.

Mid: Reduce and accelerate. Ugin, the Ineffable makes every colorless spell two cheaper, Helm of Awakening and Foundry Inspector shave more, and Forsaken Monument both ramps and pumps. Emrakul's own exile ability turns a stranded late-game card into an early two-mana land.

Late: Cast Emrakul, untap everything, and follow it with a second haymaker the same turn. Kozilek draws four, Ulamog exiles two permanents, and It That Betrays turns every opponent sacrifice into your gain. All Is Dust sweeps the board while your colorless permanents survive untouched.

Win conditions: A flying trampling commander with ward costing three permanents is extremely hard to answer, and the untap trigger means it arrives alongside support rather than alone. Blightsteel Colossus and Eldrazi Conscription provide alternative one-hit kills.

  • Urza's Tower - Seven mana from three lands with the full Tron set
  • Ugin, the Ineffable - Every colorless spell costs two less
  • All Is Dust - One-sided sweeper that spares a colorless board
  • Thran Dynamo - Three mana from one artifact toward a ten-drop
