Decklist
One of my favorite gimmick commander decks to play for a weekly game I built last year, and turned out pretty fun to play too! The stipulation to build the deck started relatively simple, every (nonland, and some lands too) card being two cards, either split, double-faced, or as I expanded into what it meant, Adventures and kamigawa flip cards got bundled in as well.
With that said, the choice of commander was limited to have enough of a cardpool but also fit the restriction, particularly since this deck was made before the Transformers cards added a lot more option for commanders. The VERY obvious choice would have been Esika, giving access to all five colors. However, after exploring it a bit, I found that I didn’t like the deck that shaped up, five-colors just got access to too many good cards and it didn’t feel much like a jank gimmick deck anymore, didn’t get to play fun cards. However, Esika would allow to have a full-DFC manabase, which I have to admit is appealing by itself, having a full 100 double faced cards.
So I slimmed down to only two colors, white and black, and assembled a midrangey pile of stuff using the versatility offered by every card being two to navigate most of any situation. The commander that ended up at the helm is the newest Edgar, though I have a personal soft spot for Shaile and Embrose as a card, and probably would lean that direction if I was to play the deck again.
