eww, hand of emrakul, really? I wouldn't play that in draft, especially when compared to the crusher, Skeletal Wurm or the like, anyway, in no particular order, and without too much though in it: Uncommon: Pelakka Wurm Drake Umbra rapacious-wurm Oust Dreamstone Hedron Common: Aura Gnarlid Dawnglare Invoker Flame Slash Narcolepsy Staggershock Also, I'm assuming that this is first pick, as what you pick varies based on what archetype you are in

I'm bored, and I want to build something. So I turn to you, Tappedout community, to help me create my latest masterpiece. I'm looking at a EDH deck with nothing but vanilla creatures. And a vanilla Legendary Creature to be my Commander. I know of Isamaru, Hound of Konda , but are there any others?

Why would you do this to yourself? EDH runs on fun interactions and board clear!

Jasmine Boreal if you want it to be multicolored and it also allows you to use Muraganda Petroglyphs

You could find cards that punish activated abilities and their use, tho I dont know of any cards that do that.

You should run Jedit Ojanen as your Commander!
I joke of course. Why would anyone ever run him in anything? I think Jasmine Boreal is probably your best bet as Commander. She has half decent stats. Green has all the best vanilla creatures and Muraganda Petroglyphs to work with, and white has some pretty good stuff as well.

I made one similar, but it's mono-green and "French Vanilla"
November 21, 2013 3:40 p.m.
Jerrard of the Closed Fist or The Lady of the Mountain for R/G
Sir Shandlar of Eberyn , Torsten Von Ursus , or Jasmine Boreal for W/G
I agree that Green should be included in the colors, Muraganda Petroglyphs is just too good to pass up.

Barktooth Warbeard is best because of his fantastic name.

Also no one has yet mentioned that Naya gives the two best vanillas around in Woolly Thoctar and Leatherback Baloth .

Wow, thanks guys! I'm probably going to go G/W. Now I just gotta choose which one. Also, does anyone know any other great green, white, or multicolored vanilla creatures?
November 21, 2013 7:38 p.m.
Watchwolf and Nessian Courser come to mind. In general, the best vanillas will be in green.

Thanks everyone. Now I'm on the fence about G/R or W/G. G/R has some stupidly stupid stuff like Warstorm Surge , Chaos Warp , Stranglehold , etc. that look to be fun to play with (but not against, lol). On the other hand, W/G is better suited for a Voltron build with all the great aura in the color. Again, fun to play, but not as effective without a Commander like Avacyn, Angel of Hope or Sigarda, Host of Herons . Anyone have any thoughts on the debate?

Why not go Naya and get the best of both worlds?
There's not a straight Vanilla legendary in Naya colors, but Jacques le Vert is pretty close.

Because I want it straight, smooth, and cold vanilla. Not French Vanilla, because I like to make it more difficult than it needs to be.
November 22, 2013 12:05 p.m.
I say R/G. You gain access to more stompy creatures like Ruination Wurm and other Gruul creatures. Not to mention that red brings in the things that give haste.
