Fynn is the commander of "i killed 1 player at the table and then got murderd"

There were only 9000 Krenko decks, but then someone tapped him.

Fynn is also the most budget-friendly. You can build a halfway decent deck for under $50. Maybe even under $30 if you really pinch your pennies

Fynn was a surprise at first, but on second thought it makes sense

I would have imagined that selvala is more popular than fynn tbh

Definitely not surprised by these other than green. I have a Giada deck and a Krenko deck and they are both definitely popular for a reason.

I got White, Blue, and Red all right! Wasn't sure about black, the only mono colored black commander that even popped into my head was Razaketh, but when you popped up K'rrik, I thought "Yeah, that makes sense." As for green being Fynn, that was an absolute wild card. My guess was Freyalise or at least one of the elf commanders.

Fynn is the only one that really suprised me. And here i thought i wouldnt have any of my own commanders on this list lol

Green provides so much efficiency and consistency that just about any mono-green commander could work. So it's a matter of "why should I build around this green commander" versus "which commander works best?"

Definitely didn’t see Fynn coming

"karnstruct", lovely

Fynn being the most popular destroys my faith in humanity

I would have guessed Zada, but Krenko makes sense. Giada is so new though!!!

These are all based on EDHREC data, and I feel like there's some recency bias. Green for instance has only 5400 decks playing Omnath at this time, but during its prime I believe there were 10k or more. So take these popular choices with a grain of salt.

Naban is a lot of fun as a wizard tribal commander. It's also only 2 mana so it's pretty fast for a draw deck. My mono black is K'rrik but that's because I just like Phyrexia in general, my mono green is Vorinclex monstrous raider elfball, my mono red is Birgi, mono white is Elesh Norn Grand Cenobite, and I have vilis mono black as well. 😆

I managed to guess urza, krenko and kyrrk surprisingly. I didn't get the angel I thought it might have been some token deck and I thought one of the kodamas or maybe one version of phyrexian praetor himself vorinclex

All of these commanders have something in common. If they stick, the whole game becomes about taking that player out.

And theyre all extremely easy to build and require no thought to play. Perfect for beginner players who wanna get into the game and get some wins.

I love how Giada sounded like "Gyatta"

I did not expect that I had 2.5 of these and had just never finished the black one….

Krrik isn’t just “generally good” he’s the reason mono black is a viable cedh color. Casting spells for free is busted and krrik is maybe the fastest deck in cedh, netting you shittons of turn one wins

Prof is obviously jealous of Gavin’s awesome jacket

My only mono color deck is Krenko. It’s not great yet but I just started working on it and haven’t devoted my time/effort/money yet. Plus everyone knows to target him since it can get so crazy so he usually gets blow up before my next turn.

I’m surprised Gix isn’t the top or one of the top mono black commanders. It can be a really clutch win con late game as it was for me when I was nearly outmatched but I used his discard ability a few times and ended up turning the fight 180 and winning by using their strategy against them. He’s become one of my favorite commanders.

lol 3 of the cards i got and said "hey this would be a fun commander!" and fynn being one is the only surprise. although i think thats simply due to Green being quite possibly the best mono color for commander so theres alot of good options

Hancock is actually a rather good choice for Zombie Anthem Decks IMHO. Ounce he ETBs, you can easily get him up to 10+ counters if you build the Deck right....

Honestly in a free for all among these guys I’m going to guess it’s “dump your library onto the battlefield” Urza.

i would say giada, krenko, kriik, urza high artificer, not sure for green

Krenko is so fun to play haha, I love goblins so much

We need more Gargos, Vicious Watcher decks for mono green

I have 3 of these built, K'rrik Krenko and Urza 😂 I own a deck of each color combo. My other mono decks include Heliod Ballista Cedh, and Ghalta draw 12 🎉

I have Giada and my play group have the other Commanders in this short... we are sooo basic 😅.

I have a mono green voltron deck with thrun breaker of silence that is pretty fun.

Giada is cool, but I like Sigada, Font of Blessing. The green ramp, Sigarda protecting your board and letting dig one card deeper , and a human sub theme really helps smooth out games

Hey give me my junji any day. He doesn't do much, but I like him.

Would never have guessed Fynn and cant believe I didn't get Krenko. Lol, I've seen so many of them.

I remember someone in arena making a video where they made like 16,000 goblin tokens using krenko using a combo. Needless to say, turns took a long time, and it crashed the game

Me: "I don't waste my time with MTG anymore." Also me: "Entering battlefield, must be the new Elesh Norn." :D

I had them all right except black, I thought Marrow-Gnawer was taking that one home

My favorite mono red commander is Lovisa Coldeyes! She is so amazing, very low mid in power, but damn is it fun to bring her out. Also que new art is cool, i just love that woman.

Krenko is such a good cards even similar cards with minor set back like Marrow Gnawer which requires you to sac a rat first is insanely good. I think it helps that for both you can easily go infinite with Umbral mantel or staff of domination and any sac outlet for your creature's that gives mana

Fynn is top in green probably because the generic green ramp value deck can basically use like any one of a hundred different commanders and play the same, so no one green ramp commander makes it to the top.

My monogreen commander of choice is Radagast the Brown. I don't like building tribal, so antitribal was a lot of fun. For red, I use the god from new Ixalan. Voltron him up and use all the creatures that ping for 1 repeatedly >:3

4/5 I thought Syvala instead of Fynn but he makes sense. I've never seen someone at a table with him though

Krenko goes brrrr

Red has never changed since krenko dropped. It's funny the fastest is also the most consistent

I wanted to be original at one point with my mono red but my friend who I played some of my first matches with inherited me his Krenko before he moved away, so I HAD to craft it as a memento to him.

I couldn't pause in time so i didn't have a chance to guess White before reveal but got 3/4 of others... Only real surprise is Fyn to mean.

Dang, I have all of these built except Urza - and I use +1/+1 Krenko

It's interesting that monogreen is so far below the others for it's most popular commander. The other 4 aren't surprising at all though. Giada had an entire secret lair deck built around her. The other 3 have insane combo potential and explosiveness. Krenko is the only one of these I've built, because I love Goblins. Usually I prefer more interesting unique builds though

I was expecting warwyn tbh

I made a run of mono color commanders to prove to my friends that I don’t just play three color 😂 Oswald Fiddlebender artifact pod Rhonas the indomitable (stompy deathtouch tramplers) Kefnet God Eternal (instant and sorcery draw and clones and steals) Birgi, Ragavan, and I forget other red were all fun. I guess my Kriik deck was too meta out of my mono color run

3/5 is not bad. I missed on Fynn and Giada but hit all the other three.

I love poison, So much.

Damn, I have built all but one of these

Green gotta be ashaya soul of the wild

My favorite colors red and black were the more predictable answers 😂

Kyrrk surprised me thought it would have been Yawgmoth

Here I was thinking Omnath was gonna be green’s choice.

I thought it was gonna be Selvala but Fynn is in my 99 for sure.

Insane its still Krenko after like over 10 years

I have a Fynn deck, but only because it's actually a Dread Pirate Roberts deck. It's not something I would have made if it was just the regular version of the card.

the fact that the most popular mono-green commander is an uuncommander says something. I'm not sure exactly what it says, but it says something...

Only the Urza deck is actually fun to play more than a couple times (with, or against).

2 right. Was thinking selvala krenko tegrid urza and sram

Dang, I thought red would be Magda for sure

i imagine mono green has the most cmdrs with large numbers such as fynn.

Personally I prefer Krenko, tin street kingpin. Over mob boss. I've ran both, and i find with mob boss, I'm either going to win or lose by turn 4-5. All depending on if my commander gets killed right away. Where as with kingpin, I'm able to attack, and start making gobbos a whole turn earlier then if i was running mob boss. And I've had better odds of coming back from losing kingpin as well. Like MB can make loads more gobblins quickly. But KP can make you enough to win faster. And it doesn't matter if you have 10,000 if 10 is enough to win with.

The fact that all of the rest are over 10k but greens highest is at 7k shows me that people diversify green a lot more and I personally think it’s because people enjoy playing mono green the most

White -Skrelv Blue-Bruvac Black-K'rrik Red- Krenko, Mob Boss Green- Gargos For my decks

So I swear I heard you say Urza makes a "Karnstruct", and now I refuse to call them anything else

Thought mono green was gonna be an elf commander ngl

I have PTSD from krrik

I was expecting one of the rats for black just because of rat colony decks.

I woulda guessed OG Omnath, not pauper infect. Sounds like 7,700 play groups have too much patience

I built all the mono colored decks and have none of these. Lol (Imotekh, Donal, Karlach, Halvar, and Goreclaw.)😊

I got them all wrong😂, I was thinking dragons and praetors and elf's and rats

Urza for life!

i was expecting Green to be something like Ghalta, Azusa, or Selvala. you know, Mono Green rampy stompy stuff. I got the rest right though, K'rrik is a no-brainer, Krenko is a no-brainer, and the only Mono blue commanders that are any kind of competitive other than Urza is Memnarch, but there's not much of a reason to choose Memnarch over Urza, they're the same deck which leaves Thassa, Deep-Dwelling. I figured mono white could have also been something like Light-paws or Danitha, otherwise i would have assumed Elesh Norn, Mother of Machines. (Panhar-mommy-con)

Krenko

Zirilan of the Claw. Not that it's even near the top, just my favorite.

Although understandable, i think it is a little sad, that the most popular kinda is same as the strongest commander. Norin, the wary is such a funny commander. Hes basically flickering... In mono red! Or the mono blue braids. Its a blue deck that wins with huge creatures! In what other blue deck would that work? There is so much more to magic than just playing the strongest deck you can find online. My favourite commander at the moment is the four colored omnath. But my deck is not a landfall deck. Its flicker. And it is hilarious when i play omnath and keep flickering him only for the card draw xD

Fynn surprised me ngl

Legit never heard or seen either the white or green commanders

I’m surprised the list doesn’t have anything newer than Giada

Love Selvala, HoW. Marwyn, the Nurturer gets sadly overshadowed by Golgari Elfballs, which I think is a real shame. Goreclaw, Terror of Qal Sisma is still the better Power 4 Matters Commander. Vaultborn Tyrant is stronger, sure, but VT’s strengths are capabilities your deck almost certainly already possesses… Toski, Bearer of Secrets is such a fun deck to play. There are so many ways to build an effective Toski deck. Hell, I don’t see this one often, but Old Gnawbone has so much potential. Dig in on mana doublers. Play other Treasure-makers and mana-adders like Tireless Provisioner and Lotus Cobra, while leaning into duping those guys. Such a great opportunity to play either really big spells, or Artifacts that aren’t normally feasible due to expense. (One of the only good Old Gnawbone decks I’ve seen was leveraging Helm of the Host and Unbound Flourishing to go nuts.) Ghalta, Primal Hunger got a lot better recently with Railway Brawler. Seen some people do a Ghalta, Stampede Tyrant cheat-out sub-theme that seemed like it would be a ton of fun. My boy, Vorinclex, Monstrous Raider, vanilla Vorinclex, and the #1 Legend that Vorinclex Secrets for, Kodama of the East Tree. All a blast if you stay out of Infect. Add Surrak and Goreclaw or even the good Nylea to this cluster of Commanders. Hell, Aeve, Progenitor Ooze is a Ye Olden Days classic Commander. *Fynn* ? FYNN is the majority of Mono Green players’ idea of the apex of Green Commander-dom? No wonder no one respects us Green players. :( All of these Commanders are great fun, and I missed so, so many! Don’t cheat yourself. Fynn is the embodiment of the sweatiest, most no-fun-for-anyone-else thing that Mono Green does. There’s better out there, I swear it.

Goreclaw is my mono green commander

for blue im using kefnet for 4 mana its a really good card

I was going to say, which Urza, but the other ones that I can think isn't mono blue.

Should have also covered mono brown.

For green it should have been the colossal dreadmaw

Only ever done mono white and honestly it's probably one of my better decks. Danitha, Benalia's Hope

Totally thought Vorniclex would have taken Green.

For green it easily Fynn fangbearer

I have most of them built lmao my green deck is marwyn elfball and I have no mono white

Never underestimate an uncommon as a commander and yes I am the kind of scumbag playing Fynn. He is so fun and actually straightforward for newer or less experienced players to play. I much rather play against poison players than infinite turns spells. One will at least kill me in combat and not by boredom

I AM Not suprised

I'm sorry but as a non commander player I wish you would do more timeless

Mono brown would like to talk with you behind the building....

Had a Giada deck. Tore it apart to take the good cards out of it. While she’s fun angels are so slow
