Breya -Ā 5 ways to build Greenless Commander
The End is Nigh! Our last 4 colour deck is the Greenless wonder, Breya. The most obvious build would be four-colour artifact good stuff, but I like to push myself a bit more than that. How can we build Breya 5 different ways?
1] Thopter Queen
Young and Sweet, Breya can be the Thopter queen youāve always dreamed of. Play Thopter Foundry (with or without the combo of Sword of the Meek). Add in Thopter makers like Pia and Kiran Nalaar, Hangarback Walker and Thopter Assembly. Thopter Spy Network really pushes it over the edge, with tokens and card draw every turn.
2] Token Flicker
Breya loves to be flickered in and out of play with Conjurerās Closet and Voyager Staff, so throw in a bunch of other artifact boosting cards with EtB effects. Trinket and Treasure Mage will tutor you stuff from your deck, the Splicers will make an army of Golems and pump them up, while Filigree Angel gains a huge amount of life.
3] Artifact Sacrifice
If thereās one thing Breya loves, itās eating artifacts, so help her get her recommended iron. The wellsprings (ichor and mycosynth) love to be eaten, as do Myr Retriever (returning artifacts to your hand) and Cathodion (adding mana). Wurmcoil Engine and Marionette Master are your big finishers. For added style, build a Modular deck.
4] Flying Tribal
With Breya providing 3 flying bodies for 4 mana, the way is open to build around an all flyer deck. Greenless gives you access to not only the best Angels, Demons, Dragons and Sphinxes but also faeries and thopters, so you can have flyers at every point of the curve. Isperia the Inscrutable can tutor up every creature in your deck, Warden of Evos Isle makes everything cheaper. Gravitational Shift pumps your whole team while protecting you from counter attacks (add in Archetype of Imagination to ground your enemies). My favourite card is Windreader Sphinx, that can easily draw 3-4 cards a turn.
5] Mere Myr
In the past, Myr tribal decks have had to be based in Boros with Jor Kadeen, but Breya allows the use of 4 of the mana myr as well as Jor Kadeen and Sharuum for power and recursion. Myr Galvanizer pumps the team, while Myr Reservoir, Myr Matrix and Myr Turbine just give ongoing value. These are no mere Myr!
Thatās it for the 5 four-colour commanders. I think next week Iāll be trying something different, spreading a cycle of 5 over 5 days. Keep it real!
