The Most Powerful 5 Color Commanders | Power Tier List | EDH | Commander | MTG 

Take a shot every time Mitch says “regardless” - you won’t survive any video 😂

When I cracked Cromat open as a kid, I put it into every deck because it's clearly the best card ever made

I have two friends who each have a Progenitus deck and whenever we can’t finish a game (pretty frequently) they always say “Well, I was gonna cast my commander X turns from now and probably win” no matter what the board state was, and most of the times they were going to be dead pretty soon and Progenitus was not going to be cast.

The "Bringer" cycle has a soft spot in my heart They shouldve been legendary

Man how timely. I just built my first WUBRG edh deck a few weeks ago and am yet to try it out.

Yo, Eddie must be trolling me. Atogatog is the most powerful S tier five color commander in the game! With Morophon. Mask wood nexus, conspiracy, changlings and creatures that can be cast from the graveyard you will see the true power of Atogatog

As someone who plays Sisay, I would have to disagree with you on her placement. True she is a bit niche but there are so many legendaries you can tutor for even with keeping the cmc low and mana fixing isn't that hard with cards like The World Tree, Sylvan Scrying, Expedition Map, ect. The casual pods I play with usually single her out when she's played because if given a little slack Ill have too many threats out to deal with. Def not S rank without tons of money in the 99 but a solid A imo.

Great video as always. Love the production value on your vids. Thanks!

Mitch casually talking about all the 5color decks he has made or thought about. Love it! 5 color budget is super fun, give it a try.

If Golos was still legal all of these would go down a tier

Codie, Garth One-Eye, and Go-Shintai of Life's Origin are the only ones I feel are worth building, considering options I favor, my prospective fun, and hipster/cult classic flavor. Codie scratches the 'challenge accepted' itch when trying to build around the no-permanent restriction, especially with the cycling reanimator build. Garth sheds light on Magic's past, opening up thoughts of builds with lots of old cards, though my idea may cost too much money. I would build him somewhat similar to how I built my untested, banned, and dismantled Golos deck if I were to go way more budget. Go-Shintai of Life's Origin is the one I actually built, and I was pleasantly surprised at some of the fun non-shrine enchantment and historic support I had in my collection. Who would have thought Cabal Paladin (a Dominaria common) would be such a funny and effective addition? Also, the prospect of collecting all of the shrines was way more enticing than acquiring the best slivers, the best warriors, the best allies, or even the best dragons. Kenny, Sisay, and Jegantha made their way into the 99 of my shrines tribal build, where as I would put Jodah into the 99 of a prospective Garth deck, but I also wonder what kind of WUBRG legend would fit as a plan B for Codie, should the vociferous codex fail to work as intended.

No way bro, Sisay is S tier. Toolbox for whatever you want to build your deck to do. I am with you on most of this list otherwise but I will die on this hill. #SisayIsSTier

I run Morophon leading a sliver deck. Cost reduction being a key to the deck, it gets pretty nutty pretty fast. I've heard more than once than once that it's the best sliver deck opps have seen outside of CEDH. Jodah/FotS makes everything free. A few tutors in there to find Overlord, and it's pretty much done from there.

I think a cool idea is ranking certain tribe commanders! Like the best elf commander, or best vampire commander! lol Great video :)

As a Tiamat player I'll tell it's a bang or bust deck. I run fist of suns and Jodah and one of the five dragons I always tutor for is morophon. If I'm not put down by the time it's my turn again I win. It's because the next turn brings at least 5 free dragons. Morophon then Tyrant of Jund, Kologhan Storms fury, atarka world render and Thrakis the butcher.

Just made a Tiamat deck and loving it!

Jegantha is great for a 5 color mutate deck especially with him being 4 colorless cause you essentially ramp from 5 mana to 10 on your next turn which allows you to play your base creature and mutate more than once on it in that same turn

My poor sliver overlord. As a Sliver player that has all five I would say Overlord and the First Sliver are the best commanders

I actually have an Elemental Horde of Notions + Jegantha companion deck and its pretty fun.

Codie can produce fast, repeatable, protectable combos based around cards like Hypergenesis, Living End, Resurgent Belief, etc. Many of the cards you use to protect Codie or counter spells can activate the combo. The dredge potential is also really exciting.

I honestly wasn't expecting to see my favorite Scarecrow commander in the A tier.

Yeah, I agree with @Masteroftheweb, you really should have switched Sliver Queen and Sliver Hivelord. You can have a bunch of Slivers out, late game, where Queen shines but Hivelord let's you tutor for the very same slivers that set up Sliver Queen. It's putting the cart before the horse by having them as they are, Eddie.

Great video. Sad to not see my main man Golos since he's banned , would have definitely been an s tier

I know that "Golos, Tireless Pilgrim" is banned, but I like to know which category he would fit. Great video by the way.

Love the video, only gripe is that sliver queen and hive lord should have been switched. Yes sliver queen is great IF you have the right slivers, hive lord makes SURE you have the right sliver.

What's casual?Casual for our LGS is no infinite or land destruction-sometimes😆

Idk, once you started touching the silver decks I felt a type of way BUT you did mention in a casual setting. I find the Overload better then the Fisrt Sliver.

I blame Eddie for not waiting until Jodah, the Unifier was released to make this video. Lol

I only have Sliver Hivelord out of the legendary slivers, but man does he still strike fear into their hearts lol.

Reaper King is SUPER underrated especially with the new Myriad cards allowing for an entire NUKE ability for every opponent as each clone created acts as another vindicate...

1:15 - "Food Chain....not taking into consideration" .....Tiamat is going to be lower than she deserve isn't she? *29:12* nevermind, I'll settle

Great video, as usual! Power aside, I do love my Scion of the Ur-Dragon deck because of how much of a toolbox he is, and how well I can cater the play experience as a result. Do I want stupid amounts of value? Nice, I'll grab Miirym or Beledros Witherbloom. Is this a less complex or less experienced table? Also fine, I can grab Drakuseth or Ojutai and be a-okay. If I want to be sure that the deck can fit the table, whatever it is, that's the one I break out, and I love it for that.

Leaving this in the beginning, I'm making a ramos deck and absolutely love him, if he's anywhere below B im going to literally go outside and toss a rock at a tree

Honestly morphon makes those legendary dragons like tiamat, Waistora, and the time spiral legendary dragons cheap to cast. Throw in the changelings for low to the ground casts early.

Eddie! You forgot my favorite silver border commander; surgeon general commander!

With the release of Dominaria United, I wonder which tier the Jared Carthalion planeswalker would get.

6:52 You’re saying its C tier, Mitch. But corona shifted the entire meta-game for nearly three years.

Nice video! I do have to say I beat Sliver decks ALL THE TIME with Tiamat😎 I actually prefer playing them since all I have to do is one or two board wipes and GGs... Perhaps Tiamat mistakingly was put in A tier rather than S tier!?

I love my najeela the blade-blossom commander deck and the infinite combat

The fact that Ur-Dragon is by far the most powerful tribal-tribal commander, using the eminence ability to play a lot of small changelings per turn to generate massive value should have probably pushed it a little bit higher than the other tier A options. That said, nice list in general.

This may be just me but I think Sliver Overlord should be higher up, you can use it to tutor the other WUBRG slivers and adds a level of consistency to the deck

Sliver Overlord is definitely S tier

I think progenitus needs an errata protection from everything should be literally everything.

Cromat walked so kenrith could run 😍

The Reaper King is my baby. I love him so much

You should brew Kardur land destruction :)

Surprised Reaper King isn't higher. It's missing one very important word: *NONLAND*. It can pop lands and has access to every blink spell in the game.

Seems like Jegantha is good for providing the mana fixing needed for the WUBRG-cost Commanders, and I expect it to see Sideboard play in any such Commander deck - though Progenitus is a 2(WUBRG), or WWUUBBRRGG one, so if they are in the same deck, you have to mainboard both to get it to work. You are probably just going to cheat out Progenitus anyways, though, with something like Thran Temporal Gateway.

I have a sliver deck, the only sliver commander card on this list I don't have in the deck is legion.

Hard disagree on the placement of the first sliver in S tier versus overlord in A. The first sliver is a lot of value, but the first sliver you hit off of his Cascade will not cascade itself because the first has not resolved. The majority of slivers are also low mana value, So the odds of you going four, three, two, one are extremely slim. Overlord is an answer to any potential problem on the board at instant speed, plus he can tutor for any of the other five legendaries. If you build your deck specifically to Cascade into specific cards, then the first might be a more powerful version, but then we're looking at CEDH territory. I think as a common sliver tribal deck, the overlord will always be the most powerful and consistent iteration.

Jodah the Unifier: Am I a joke to you?

Idk about Go-Shintai being at B i think its a lot stronger and shrines are an awesome commander deck

im just saying, Sliver queen is the only of the sliver legends that is reliant on other slivers to be valuable. overlord can just get any other sliver from the library, so he probably should swap with her.

Karona is fun as a grouphug commander ;)

First deck I build is najeela. XD, I enjoy it

I honestly thought there was alot more 5 color commanders. Kinda surprised by this amount

I love my Sliver Queen deck. Super happy I bought it before it went over 150.

I miss Golos :(

Gonna do a cat tribal with morphon and cards that change creature types, then include wubrg creatures and insist they're cats

Would Progentious have protection from mama cost spells then? Since you have Haktos the Unscarred. It gains protection from mana cost spells which could change how protection from everything would now interact.

I do think that morophon is at least a tier, purely because of all the broken cards it works with, like Jodah archmahe eternal, niv-mizzet reborn, or ur-dragon. Also Tiamat is a one-time thing. Its a good commander, but it’s not on the same level as Jodah and ur-dragon

You forgot Jenson Carthalion

Codie is a very versatile commander. CeDH aside (because the book is god teir in competitive), you can build tempo by combos with Jadzi or build Polymorph to cheat out big dumb creatures or even run token generation in all colors to amass and army. I feel like B teir is a bit low for the dumb book honestly for casuals.

What about Omnath locus of All and Jonah the Unifier

Just saw this video and thought…”is Morophon and Fist of Suns a good combo…?

Atraxa what are your thoughts an maybe the rank of it

Progenitus is one of my favorite cards ever and one of the most ridiculous, and is my commander of choice to honestly signal ‘I’m trying some dumb, ineffective bullshit that requires all 5 colors, please don’t take me seriously’

Can Jagantha be Jodah Archmage Eternal's companion?

So I do believe he forgot our beloved golos the best commander known to command

"how dare you make valid points about my favorite commander!" i say knowing full well kyodai isnt the greatest commander, but is the pilot of my 5 color spirit deck, and is my favorite deck

It's not a surprise to find out that Kenrith is King

Would love to see a ‘break the bank’ deck tech on The First Sliver.

Do you still play your golos deck

I just had an epiphany - I absolutely love the un-sets and Niv-Mizzet Reborn would be the perfect commander to just slam out all of the 2 color legendaries from unfinity plus the other silver bordered ones. With WUBRG you all of a sudden have attractions and stickers, you're slapping instants onto the board as creatures, and all sorts of nonsense just ensues from there. Probably nobody will care much about this but that's understandable lol figured I'd share anyways

If you do Morophon and Jodah then you can cast all spells of the chosen type for free

My first and favorite commander deck was reaper king, there are a lot of ways to turn your creatures into scarecrows, now add some tokens and now you can blow the entire table including lands.

Currently making a King Kenny legendary tribal deck rn and about 1/3 of these are in the 99. He is a very fun commander

Most of this list I agree with or at the very least can see where you are coming from, but in my opinion Ur-dragon and Sliver Overlord should be S tier. I know someone who plays slivers and they had a combo with training ground, Overlord, and ameboid changeling, they literally were tutoring and stealing the best card across the table every turn for one mana each, with every sliver on their board able to be tapped for mana. As for Ur-Dragon, even just with the combos that came in its precon, Ur-dragon can easily destroy an opponent AND get you a full hand of cards AND cheat in an expensive permanent for you, all in one fell swoop, and that isn't even getting into running it with powerhouses released later like Tiamat, Hellkite courser, the Ancient Metallic dragons and Miirym from Baldur's Gate, Isshin, and Scion of Draco, though I admit, I am biased on that particular deck as I play it and my list miiight not wholly be casual at this point. I also feel like you might be underestimating Ramos a little not putting it in A, but considering some of the other things that ARE in A, I can see it as iffy, a B+ as it were that is sort of on the fence, being able to suddenly pop out ten mana on an opponent's turn to help you respond to what they are doing while tapped out is a pretty powerful effect. Anyways great video, and out of curiosity, if you had released this now, where would you have put the new five color commanders from Dominaria United on this list?

Wait, you can kill Progenitus with a board wipe?? I always thought that since it has protection from everything, that would include instants and sorceries too. Like how Emrakul, the Promised End has protection from instants. I guess the protection only protects from being targeted, and board wipes don't target?

Yay my fav commander first sliver is a S tier!!!

I only disagree with general tazri I have a super mean tazri deck that my friends hate playing against but I also would just put her higher because of how fun I have with my deck

Where does Jared carthalion fall in this?

Can you choose a colorless commander? I forget it's name, but there's a 7 cost colorless legendary shapechanger that can count as another creature type, (elf) for my uses. I wanna use him as a leader for a 5 color Elf deck... Assuming you know the creature I'm referring to, can it be used in this way?

Sacrilege!!Kamigawa powers my dragon deck and does great!The free indestructible is awesome in a deck that has no graveyard retrieval.I forgive you for sharing Cromat, but shading Kamigawa,a dragon,and flyer come on dude🙅

XD my boy cromat got dunked on right away. Just built him as my pride deck

I feel that the ur dragon and Tiamat should be in the s tier but that’s just my opinion since I play dragons a lot 😂

Everything counts as a spell. So Ramos gets counters for every creature you summon

Cromat x Jegantha Backgrounds 🙏

Heavily disagree with Tazri. She's a massively good toolbox commander that basically can get your wincon at any time. There's a surprisingly good amount of Allies that are really, really good. Easily a deck that can blow out ahead of everyone simply because your commander can get any ally for the right boardstate. A Tier at the very least.

RIP Eddie.

A creature hit by a cascade from first sliver does not itself cascade again…

I just realized sissay with giant background 😐

S - tier commander: Najeela Kenrith Sisay

You forgot Golos lol

Where's the Tireless Pilgrim? 🥲

First video of yours I’ve ever seen, love the content. My only real critique is that you have WAY too many ads. After like the third or fourth time I had an ad pop up, I just lost interest and you became background noise as I did something else. I’d like to watch more of your stuff, but I don’t wanna have to deal with the video cutting out every two minutes for an ad.

DAMMIT Eddie!!!!!

O math locus of all?

No golos?

Dude likes slivers a lot more than they deserve.
