There are Commander decks that try to be polite, fair, and friendly. This is not one of those decks.
This is a colorless artifact machine built around inevitability, mana acceleration, and the quiet confidence
that comes from knowing your board wipes don’t hurt you nearly as much as they hurt everyone else.
Iron Spider, Stark Upgrade doesn’t ask for permission. It just builds, upgrades, and eventually ends the game.

This list leans hard into big mana, resilient artifacts, and haymakers that demand answers.
If your table underestimates colorless decks, this is how you punish them for it.

Commander

  • Iron Spider, Stark Upgrade – The engine of the deck, rewarding you for playing artifacts and turning incremental value into real pressure.

Deck List

Game Plan

Early game, you ramp. Midgame, you establish inevitability. Late game, you stop pretending this is casual Commander.
The deck wants to flood the board with mana rocks, land-based ramp, and cost reducers, then pivot into giant artifact threats.
Once Forsaken Monument or Tron lands are online, every turn becomes a problem for the table.

Strengths

  • Resilient to most board wipes
  • Explosive mana production
  • Multiple must-answer threats
  • Strong late-game inevitability

Weaknesses

  • Vulnerable to dedicated artifact hate
  • Can be slow out of the gate without ramp
  • Table politics tend to turn against you fast

Upgrades and Tweaks

If you want more speed, add additional fast mana.
If your meta is grindy, lean harder into recursion.
If your friends complain, congratulations, the deck is working.
