Top 10 Colorless Spells in MTG (Excluding Artifacts)

The vast majority of Colorless cards are artifacts. Being colorless is almost always an upside, as it makes your cards a lot easier to cast. Theoretically, just about any deck could play the majority of these cards, so today we’re going to go over the best nonartifact colorless spells in the game.

I love the Eldrazi because they are basically Lovecraftian eldritch horrors. I love their theme and artstyle and I'm sad I never played or bought MTG during the time the original Eldrazi release just to collect the cards for the art.

Also shame Kozilek didn't make the list, he definitely deserves to be on a "Top 10 Most Badass Names" list, "Kozilek, Butcher of Truth"

Just wanted to comment, I've been following your various channels since at least when you were doing wow videos, and it's pretty great that you are making these easy to watch and digest videos about magic, especially since I recently got into it myself. Keep up the good work!

Next, do top 10 silver-bordered/acorn-stamped cards that would be BRUTALLY overpowered if it would actually be in actual play.

[phyrexian_dude]

Ah yes, the Eldrazi list featuring Ugin and Karn.

[williamw]

I love that this is basically "the best Tron deck cards"

[shoeless]

This video took me back.

Years ago my first college gf was super into magic and she built a colorless aldrazi deck that absolutely fucking stomped people at our local card shop. She was very proud of it, lots of cards from this list were in it

[nanya]

Fun fact, with Ugin, the Spirit Dragon, if you make the lands gain a color (like white with Eight and a Half Tails), you can -0 Ugin to wipe out all lands.

[TheMindofRa]

I remember assembling an elvish Eldrazi deck which had the combo of elvish piper, two training days, and a spawnsire of Ulamog. This creates an infinite mana combo that allows spawnsire's 20 mana ability to pop off.... which is play any and all Eldrazi cards from your side board at no cost... so All is Dust followed by the 3 major OG Eldrazi titans.

[ofskittlez]

It's crazy that Emrakul, the Promised End *is* the toned-down Emrakul.

[jaceee]

One thing worth mentioning for the eldrazi titans is that when you have a ‘cast’ trigger, you essentially cant counter it since just casting ulamog already puts the trigger on the stack. So even having ulamog countered even though you lose the creature, you still get to exile two things. Its a big reason as to why the titans are really strong

[Epzilon]

This list is like Top 10 Eldrazi (guest starring some planeswalkers) it’s funny but I’m about it

[dracish]

Aeons torn and her siblings also saw play as anti mill cards in modern in the past.

[SvviftDeath]

Another non eldrazi card that is also good is Wandering Archaic. It isn't a standard, modern, or legacy all star. But in commander it can completely change the game. Counterspells become more one sided, tutors become less efficient, removal is even more dangerous. Definitely worth an honorable mention.

[Atmapalazzo]

Worth noting that Lattice's ability to make cards in hand colorless was also relevant because it made Force of Vigor's alternate cost unpayable, which was probably the best answer to artifacts in green at the time.

[HarleyQistaken]

You should mention Commander when talking about certain cards like Emrakul, the Aeons Torn because of how broken cards can be when you can always cast it from the Command Zone and why Commander has such a short banlist

[roguebanshee]

I remember playing Commander back when the Eldrazi titans were first introduced. Every single one of them was viewed as a "No fun allowed" card. And Emrakul was most certainly the one people liked seeing the least.

[xplorindylan]

I currently only need 27 more cards to make my full colorless deck thank you for this video it helped a lot :)

[justseffstuff]

I remember I opened an Ulamog in the very first MTG pack I ever opened... I'd been playing MTG for a bit before that, but mostly with hand-me-down decks, heh.
God, I couldn't believe my eyes.

[TheEmeraldboy]

Emrakul, the Promised End sees play in Omnath, Locus of Creation deck in modern where you can play her as soon as turn 5 for 9 mana.

[zepkhanplays]

If you include devoid, there is also Sire of Stagnation. A 4UB 5/7 that has whenever a land enters an opponent's field, you draw two and they exile the top 2 cards of their library.
