Yargle and Multani is my favorite smooth brain deck. All you need is a bunch of equipment, auras, mana dorks, ramp, and other synergy pieces and you're gonna keep one-shotting players
LOL I play an aristocratic power matters version that ultimately wins with Greater Good+ Cadaverous Bloom to make tonnes of mana and draw out my deck while spending a black mana (ex: Supernatural Strength, Malakir Rebirth, etc...) to keep bringing back Yargltani. It's so silly how often it works :P
Me no think good, me smash face. Me appreciate video. I do have Yuriko, finishing up rebuilding Kaalia, have both Arcades and Voja (haven't built yet, but we toying with them). So, I'm only at 4/5, since I haven't looked into Greensleeves... yet. I will be the first to admit that I don't like thinking, so perfectly fine with being called out 😅 I've had the ninja deck since Planechase Anthology, and, well, it was terrible before Yuriko existed. That said, I had one turn with four Yuriko triggers: _land, land, land, Ornithopter_ ... "I'm sad".
Playing a kaalia of the vast commander deck and its always my go to deck for relaxed playing. Also, i find my valgavoth deck very relaxing as I just keep on casting enchantments and stuff and let my opponents duel it out for survival. Then just interact with them once their life total is around 20ish. 😅
Favorite commander where I don't have to think is Tuya Bearclaw. Have it set up as an aggro/heavy-trample-enabler deck. My pod knows when it hits the table I'm just tapping lands and creatures for the next 30-60 minutes.
@@rickymeggs9853 It's on archidekt by adding /decks/2105361/tuya_bearclaw since I can''t post a direct link on TH-cam. It was last updated during Thunder Junction with a few neat cards that fit the build. Originally started out as a $100 beatdown list but over time the price has crept up. The crowning moment was knocking an opponent out with a 12/12 Sakura Tribe Elder, the buffs being from Halana and Alena.
A friend of mine used to play a "board-wipe tribal" Zurgo deck. The deck plan was extremely simple: cast Zurgo, remove the rest of the creatures, hit people in the face with Zurgo. Simple as.
Rick, Steadfast Leader / Greymond. Pick cool humans, toss in some anthems and board wipe protection, and give all your humans vigilance and first strike when your commander hits the board. Horn of Gondor makes you an exponential army.
Rendmaw is the one for me. I just ramp into the scarecrow and afterwards start casting chaff fodder cards from Theros and New Kamigawa to flood the board with birds, which do all of the killing work for me
My favorite braindead commander is The infamous Cruelclaw. Not the meme deck style but like 60 lands with big nasty's, artifacts to grant flying, double strike, shroud, indestructible, and some of the good stuff out of the velgavoth commander precon. That is my go to for that category. I also have a isshin two heavens as one deck that is loaded with legendary creatures, day of destiny, attack triggers, and other stuff to buff my legendries out the gate. Also working on a Big Kitty eater of all deck that pumps out tokens like no tomorrow.
i'm not very knowledgeable on commander, i only know a few decks. but my number 1 spot is tied between sheoldred the apocalypse and the the sliver hivelord. the first is simply play sheoldred, play a bunch of stuff that lets players draw a gazillion cards and just sit there while the other players die without you needing to do anything. the other is play a creature that makes all your creatures indestructible. then play other creatures that buff up all your creature, making them huge or giving them evasion. and just smash face without caring about blockers. i have two friends that play these decks, and everytime i'm the one that gets targeted first, because the slivers player just smashes, the other thinks "what's the point in attacking iinto indestructible blockers?". makes me salty asf
I think „Garna, Bloodfist of Keld“ is a very underrated aggro commander for dummies. Just swing your creatures 90 degree each turn for tons of value. And you even have a built in peotection from board wipes because they kinda die if they destroy all your creatures
They are expensive decks to build but I think Ur Dragon and Jodah fall under the category of zero thought process decks. You play as close to curve as possible and win. And really any elf ball. Even budget elf ball is strong.
I just started watching and I'm fully expecting to see my darling Giada ^^ There's nothing simpler than mono-white angels. Play a bigger angel every turn until everyone is dead. If I'm honest I'll even admit that sometimes I'm annoyed to have ramp or card draw in my starting hand. Yes, it's often more efficient and technically better, but - no angel that turn :( Edit: I maintain that Giada is incredibly easy and very, very strong.
I loved my Greensleeves deck. I’ve rebuilt it several times but it’s currently not together because I have a Titania Protector of Argoth deck and don’t need two landfall token decks. It’s hysterical though
I'm running Dina, and I've never "not play" that much with a deck : play some cards, gain life out of nowhere, ping everybody and most importantly, never ever block
Was thinking of taking my mono green omnath to make it even more unga bunga. Thinking maybe thrun or ghalta? Idk, trying to have a mono of each color deck on hand as my niece is getting into commander and ahe loves them the most so far.
Imoti was a deck that my playgroup ended up knocking me out as fast as possible after the first game with it. Really solid commander and value, though.
Mines would be Urza, Lord Chief Artificer. He makes the armies of huge ass Constructs so consistently and their power/toughness just grow each turn. It can get out of hand if he’s left alone lol In the past I made an army of 10+/10+ Constructs and gave them flying through Wonder in the grave. I was the target in the table lol
If i see that nerd in your command zone I'm bringing my most hateful deck, you clearly weren't shoved into a locker enough times or had your lego sets smashed frequently enough, you deserve more hardship
Well, you broke me. I already have a Mono Green Ghalta Big Numbers deck, now I'm gonna make Mono Green Sleeves Landfall, by the end of the year I will have every single theme and strategy in Mono Green. 😭
Toski, Bearer of Secrets. I give him to new players. he cant be countered, hard to get rid of, he is a draw engine, for green 4 cost is actually pretty cheap
I agree with most of the decks on this list except yuriko. Its actually tough to pilot sometimes and One thing about the deck is thats it has a high skill ceiling meaning thats its very technical but has really unique plays you can make with double ninjutsu on the stack. Its still exceptionally weak to cards that gain control of yuriko and very hard to rebuild from board wipes/sweepers because they have low toughness. Burn decks are tough to play against if they’re shooting down unblockables and Its hard to rebuild board states after you get nuked sometimes and black can help with that but i think yuriko isn’t a “brain off deck” and you also have to play weird quirky high cost cards and get lucky in the process too. Ninjutsu is one of the most fun mechanics in mtg tho
personally id rather see someone play a braindead deck than watch someone make a mess of the stack just because they have blue in their colors. At that point, they should drop magic and switch to Yugioh
I try and keep it simple with my decks that include blue and really only use it for protection and card draw. Only time ive used it to complicate thing was in a vorel calendar deck and thats bc i need as many cheap ways to get infinite and stack counters as possible
I always considered voja not only brain dead but utterly terribly designed card. Its a commander where if a person is running it I just start checking out and in my mind winning with it is as impressive as stepping over a small puddle.
Korvold is very braindead in play patterns. "I sacrifice, which let's me draw cards, so I can grow Korvold, which lets me draw cards, so now I sacrifice".
Muldrotha is super simple and you can build her any way you want! If you want even simpler the mimeoplasm is your guy good old fashion voltron or even infect. He can be a menace.
Point of Order on that Kaalia into Master of Cruelties combo, it doesn't quite work because MoC has to attack but it enters tapped and *attacking* but did not declare an attack so it's effect will not trigger until the next turn so you have to wait 1 turn to do that combo
An ability that triggers when something "attacks and isn't blocked" triggers in the declare blockers step after blockers are declared if (1) that creature is attacking and (2) no creatures are declared to block it. It will trigger even if that creature was put onto the battlefield attacking rather than having been declared as an attacker in the declare attackers step.
Krenko. The answer's always Krenko.
This is true haha
My boss is building Krenko 😂
Preach
Krenko has to do math. The true answer is borborygmos enraged
I like Krenko to teach brand new Magic players and Ob Nixilis, Unshackled to teach them next

Ruric Thar. He’s just, so brain dead I love him.

Thats amazing im glad you enjoyed the video 😂
I hope new players running Kaalia don't get salty when their commander gets killed 17 times in a game.
Playing a kaalia of the vast commander deck and its always my go to deck for relaxed playing.

Pantlaza, Sun-Favored. Play big-stompy dino, bring out more big stompy dinos, hurt opponents with big stompy dinos. Enjoy!
i love my arcades deck. pretty chill when i don’t feel like playing something super complex
Favorite commander where I don't have to think is Tuya Bearclaw. Have it set up as an aggro/heavy-trample-enabler deck. My pod knows when it hits the table I'm just tapping lands and creatures for the next 30-60 minutes.
I was thinking of building her honestly. Got a list?

Rick, Steadfast Leader / Greymond. Pick cool humans, toss in some anthems and board wipe protection, and give all your humans vigilance and first strike when your commander hits the board. Horn of Gondor makes you an exponential army.
Neyali, Suns Vanguard is also a strong recommend. Simple 4 cost Boros commander that gives your tokens double strike
Really enjoyed this video! Great concept
Quite a few Typal decks. Which I agree are some of the easiest to play. But, didn't forget Voltron decks. My son's favorite is Indominus Rex, Alpha
Rendmaw is the one for me. I just ramp into the scarecrow and afterwards start casting chaff fodder cards from Theros and New Kamigawa to flood the board with birds, which do all of the killing work for me
Shout-out to Goreclaw, Terror of Qal Sisma! Ramp and a trample enabler? Yes please!
My faves for a smooth day of card play:
- Zada Hedron Grinder
- Henzie :P
Zada is pretty long and complex compared to playing big dumb guy.

I would add Shorikai, Genesis Engine. Easy to use and build around. Also, has inherent protection from most removal.

As an Arcades player, I enjoy using a Trump soundboard while I build my walls 😆
Love that 😂😂
Phylath, play lands, get plants. Get more lands, make plants big, smash.

I like Gargos. MTG Goldfish "proved" it can also be played on literally any budget
OG Ghalta! 🦖
Imoti: ramp, cascade, stomp.

The fact the their only i voltron ish commander on here is sad
I'd say thrun, breaker of silence is a braindead commander. Just voltron him up and swing. No complicated combos or gamevactions needed
i woulda argue that voja involes a good bit of thinking having to do math with elf anthems and adding counters. but fun commander.
Just built idiot proof Anim Pakal for a friend, tested it online and was doing 40+ damage a turn by turn 5 or so on a 67$ deck
I don’t need anymore Naya decks. I don’t need anymore Naya decks. I don’t need anymore Naya decks.
I may need another Naya deck.
His hair is not wet!!!
🤫
Kaalia is the best
True braindead commander is my stompy green goreclaw deck , cast everything cheaper and swing in
Try helga. The frog 🐸 is a true menace if left unchecked. And you have 3 colors for added protection/removal.
Slicer is about as easy as it gets because your opponents do the work for you.
HEY! That’s a FAKE BRICK WALL!!!
Why isn't goreclaw on here? Big dumb green is the easiest smooth brain plays around.

Reki, the history of kamigawa. Play legends draw cards play more legends swing in for lethal
I always considered voja not only brain dead but utterly terribly designed card. Its a commander where if a person is running it I just start checking out and in my mind winning with it is as impressive as stepping over a small puddle.
Alexios is my favorite brain dead commander, just play him buff him with equipment and watch him swing at everyone but you
No miirym?
My Falco Spara, Slime against humanity deck is my braindead deck.
Korvold is very braindead in play patterns. "I sacrifice, which let's me draw cards, so I can grow Korvold, which lets me draw cards, so now I sacrifice".
epic
Got a super simple sultai commander right off the top of your head? Dont really wanna use gold fang
Muldrotha is super simple and you can build her any way you want! If you want even simpler the mimeoplasm is your guy good old fashion voltron or even infect. He can be a menace.
Miirym
Chishiro
Giada
Krenko
Bill
Easiest dragon deck to build. Atarka world render. Hehe turn five here big dragon do 30 to the face🤣
Treebeard gracious host is my dum dum commander. He only has one thing to do, tree punch for a billion damage
Would you take a commission to build a deck?
Yes he does on his Patreon
@@Gleebusaz I'll be fully honest. I don't know what Patreon is but I'll look into it. Thanks!
Otharri….
I really wish Voja didn’t exist. It’s such a broken deck.
