A few points about the popularity of mono colored decks: what makes a color good on its own and what makes it good in conjunction with other colors are not the same thing. Joey sort of touches on this, but I want to emphasize that flexibility is really important. Green has trouble with creatures, probably the most common nonland card type, as well as doing anything about spells or the stack. Black has most difficulty with probably the least common permanent type (enchantments), and can interact with spells if needed. The next point has to do with variety. Monogreen does a few things really well, but I think some of the other colors have more options for different themes. You have a lot of ramp, and a lot of fatties and elfball. In contrast, monoblack can go wide or tall, but can also work with reanimator or life gain/drain strategies, etc. And as Dana points out, the top black commanders are very open ended in comparison to green. Third, *good* and *popular* may not be the same thing. Is Ayula the 3rd best commander in mono green? Probably not, but the fatty decks are split between Ghalta, Goreclaw, Omnath, Selvala, Grothama, and probably others. Making a green deck that does green things is easy. Making a white deck is more difficult, but that challenge can attract a certain kind of player. edit: these points may apply to 2 color combinations as well. For example, you can play a graveyard-heavy token deck in orzhov, golgari, or rakdos, but izzet is probably the only way to make spellslinger in 2 colors.

I read it more as a byproduct of the social contract. Most people play Commander within the social contract of "no land destruction, Stax isn't a violation but you're a dick if you play control, etc.." That just means some strengths aren't welcome in our format, with White and Blue excelling at hatebears and control tools. Boros also suffers from the same meta problems, but in a different and better discussed way. Linear aggro strategies are hard to pull off. For my part, I love Stax/hatebears/control playstyles, but I do it in Esper, and aggro in Mardu. A little black fucking magic is all it takes to make it palatable often.

Actually, I don't want to sound arrogant, but you're all wrong. Mono black sees the most representation because it has the most payoff for being mono colored, and has ways to work through every single one of its shortcomings, not to mention that its game plan is best served by being single color. Mono red sees the second most representation because mono red has some really unique, fun commanders that HAVE to be built mono colored like krenko, zada, zozu, etc, mono blue is third place because some of the most popular mono colored commanders just happen to be in blue and blue can maintain value, mono green sees the least representation because most of its mono colored commanders are beat out by 2 or 3 color variants with similar effects that allow you to run more colors, and whilst green is a strong splash color it's mono gameplan is pretty one note (get lots of mana, play big guys). White sees the least play because the only viable way to build mono white is permission/ stax decks

Blue I think is kind of top heavy as a mono-color imo. Everyone always talks about the top but if you try to play more "fair" mono-blue decks I think it kind of lacks some oomph that fair decks of the colors have. A lot of powerful stuff blue has that goes into fair decks are more geared toward single player games and lose some punch in commander because of it. Counters get alot more complicated with more people in the game for instance. Its fairly obvious to counter a combo card or something that makes your life hard but what happens if it is just a really good spell and there are three other players before it gets back to you? Your other opponents probably also have really good spells that might even be better than what is on the stack right now. And if its resolves and is in play your removal might be more temporary in comparison to the other colors.

I'd like to see Devotion be a mono white evergreen ability, particularly in commander. I could see it's card draw and ramp being tied to it as it would keep with it's themes of small creatures and permanent based removal like oblivion ring. Some thing like 2WW 3/3, at the beginning of your combat step, if you have the most devotion make a 1/1 white soldier token, at the beginning of your end step if you have the most devotion draw a card, at the beginning of your upkeep if you have the most devotion you may search your library for a plains and put it on the battlefield tapped. Maybe 2 out of 3 wouldn't be too broken but I could see all 3 abilities on creatures somewhere in the deck.

You can design any ability to fit the color pie, including red reanimation (Feldon), blue destroy (Polymorph), and white ramp (Smothering Tithe). WotC is just very bad at attributing a balance between colors. (My obligated "Hullbreacher should've been white" comment) It took WotC a long time to design non-combat W/R because Ravnica is very popular and people are more familiar with "Boros" than other type of W/R, and new players need a "guideline" when they start this game. In short most of the color pie imbalance is due to WotC being lazy.

I had guessed that mono black was the most popular due to the "Justin Parnell effect". He's been passionately repping his color for such a long time and he has a solid history of being a huge voice for commander in the community that he has likely influenced the popularity of the color. Of course you can't take away from some of the unique and powerful options printed in black, but I think the personality that creators bring to the community has an effect on the popularity of colors and cards.

you have a few poblems in this episode: 1. your data is biased in its source - you dont include tappedout data (also other sites, but tapped out is the larget as far as i know) and i know myself and many other people only use tappedout 2. your data doesn't actually count the number of decks built, just the number of decks submitted - this is actually very noticeable in blue and green, where people just take an urza or selvala deck off the net, or even just build the average deck from edhrec. also, some players post a new decklist each time they update thier deck, while others dont upload their decks at all 3. assuming powerful will equal popular - it is because mono green and mono blue are so powerful, people want to build them less, and if they build them, they might just copy a list from the net. you briefly mentioned the fact that you cull decks that are older than 2 years, but i would have liked to see you mention these points in the episode. otherwise, great episode, and i hope i dont come off as too harsh.

A bit surprised about mono R, but for the rest...can be explained pretty well - the most linear color combinations (or colors) are the least interesting ones - mono G is mostly big dumb beaters, mono U is well...fish tribal or some kind of combo mostly - mono B is the most versatily - mono R...well..maybe because it's flashy? regarding the guilds - Azorious is just pretty miserable to play in a lot of the decks - the guild of law and order - control...that just doesn't work too well in commander vs 3 enemies - stax is hated upon, which is what would make this guild work well - wouldn't be surprised if Esper is the least favorite 3C combination for the same reason (well...although they have Oloro and Zur for numbers over time, Alela for recent deck builds..so I may be wrong with that) - boros, gruul and selesnia are also mostly pretty linear strategies that don't have too much variety in their color pie - similar for Orzhov and rakdos as they are mostly really about death triggers and tokens The top is the more versatile combinations - the big jump is between rakdos and dimir and everything above that is kind of head and shoulders above the rest - Golgari is similar to Orzhov for the most parts, however it has some more interesting commanders - dimir has a lot of variety in the commanders that are available (from copies to mill, from aristocrats to hand attack and discard and so on...) - simic and izzet are the most versatile and also the most flashy in my book - Simic has a lot of token, creature and tribal builds - izzet has spells, prowess, suspend, artifacts and artifact tokens - just a lot of popular themes in that color combination.

I thought temur or jeskai were the most narrow. Jeskai got some interesting commanders recently though so temur seems like the most limited to me.

@@jakeapplegate6642 What i mean by narrow is there are a paltry few built and then there is a drop off. Jeskai has 5 over 1000 decks and 2 more close to 1000. Temur has 7 with 1 close. Jund has 3 and 1 close. Jund for all its power in other formats seems to be the Korvy, Windgrace, or Prossh show and nothing else. Yurlock i think will eventually get up into the 800-900 range but its a gimmick like thantriss(my second deck i built). It seems when a Jund commander is good its good but when its not an op level like korvold they're like Gyrus or Wasitora which is unfortunate.

@@Asmith218 that’s interesting. I hadn’t really thought about it like that. It would be cool to see some new strategies in jund. I like the idea of the new “mana burn” commander but it seems tough to build around as anything other than a infinite mana combo deck.

Izzet is Nr 1 because: A. Mono blue is Meh B. Mono red is Okish C. Adding a third colour means changing your game plan. These changes are often Meh. ... So Izzit is kind of stand alone IMHO.

In my playgroup we target decks with green then decks with blue if all else is equal. I've stopped building Simic or a wedge with Simic bc of how easy it is to make the deck OP, it's a deck building restraint to build Mardu and fun "achievement unclocked" to win that or Boros. My point is people building more Mardu and less Simic does not mean that Simic isn't more powerful/ just better. It means people in EDH don't tend to build the best deck possible. Caveat: I have all the cards and a lot of experience so I tend need to self reg. my power level.
