I feel like mono black got kinda short changed here… black does -1/-1 as removal which is pretty unique to itself and gets around indestructible. Aristocrats / self sacrifice would be very hard to play without black in your deck… zulaport, blood artist, Konrad, etc. Paying life is also a huge part of black that makes it totally unique from other colors. I mean there’s a lot of things that black does exclusively other than discard, which can also be very powerful with either tinybones or tergrid in the command zone.

Build a Krenko aristocrat goblin deck. Black has the most effects to capitalize but red has the edge in sheer quantity of shit it can sacrifice. Rakdos aristocrats doesnt have a lot of great commander options as opposed to Shirei, one of the most powerful aristocrat commanders since it constantly reanimates what you sacrifice, or Krenko, which just vomits fodder for sacrificing for effects like Pashalik Mons and Purphoros.

Without spending 9 mana for enter the infinite. Which is why you often see thassa in dimir decks exclusively.

My Mono-Red-Selesnya deck features both Krenkos, Mob Boss and Tin Street Kingpin for token generation, and an Ashling the Pilgrim as our backup "go tall" plan. We run the traditional Goblin Token package- which can be optimized however you wish, alongside the following: On the offense, we have Rage Forger as our form of Raid Bombardment, and Agitator Ant and Ion Storm if we need to play defense. First Day of Class and Curse of Stalked Prey are the primary ways for getting counters on our wide board (if Rage Forger hits the field before Maskwood Nexus). Once the counters are out and about, we hope Rabble Rouser is big and can make our board bigger, or that Rumbling Ruin can clear the way for a lethal swing. Lastly, we run a small +1/+1 counters themed removal package including Molten Hydra, Flametounge Yearling, Dismantle, and of course our Ashling. Devour might be a better way to make use of a wide Goblin board, but it goes against the Mono-Red-Selesnya spirit. I've also heard that there's a few possible includes from the Tyrannid Deck, including Exocrine and The Red Terror, but I havent gotten around to trying them.

And the only Black cards that actually targets Enchantments is Feed the Swarm it reads "Destroy target creature or enchantment an opponent controls. You lose life equal to that permanent's mana value." and Gastly Death Tyrant which is a ETB and you still lose life equal to the cards cost but those are 4 cards that breaks Black's color pie and the only Mono Black cards like that no other enchantment removal if it is not a creature and no other artifact removal if it is not your own. Quagmire Druid is also a black card that does it but it is a Black Green color identity as it is 2B to cast then it has "Green, Tap, Sacrifice a creature: Destroy target enchantment" so in a green black deck it is really good.

I have been trying to build a Gruul +1/+1 counters and creatures deck for a while now and I have come up with a couple of interesting mono-red +1/+1 counter cards - Goblin Razerunners: deals damage equal to the number of +1/+1 counters on it to target player or planeswalker during your end step - Ashling the Pilgrim: can put a +1/+1 counter on itself for one red and one colorless mana (activated ability). If the ability resolves three times in one turn, all +1/+1 counters are removed from it and it deals damage to each player and each creature equal to the # of +1/+1 counters removed this way - Thundering Raiju: When it attacks, for each creature you control with a +1/+1 counter on it, it deals that much damage to each opponent. It also adds a +1/+1 counter to target creature you control when it attacks. (Fun for a +1/+1 counter commander deck) - Krenko, Tin Street Kingpin: When it attacks, it puts a +1/+1 counter on itself and creates a number of goblins equal to its power - Rumbling Ruin: When it enters the battlefield, for each +1/+1 counter among creatures you control, it prevents all opponents' creatures with power equal to or less than that number from blocking the turn it is played - Agitator Ant: At the beginning of your end step, each player puts two +1/+1 counters on a creature they control and goad each of the creatures who gained +1/+1 counters this way There are a couple others I found on TCGplayer, but none of the others really caught my eye

Fighting is solidly not an ability that’s “Only in green” more than 15% of the cards that make things fight aren’t in green. “Must be blocked” is definitely not a green only ability also, a full 20% of the cards (excluding UN cards) with it aren’t green, and only one of those cards has a green ability on it, the Flashback cost of Deadly Allure. So that absolutely doesn’t count for this video. Having skimmed most of the rest of your video, your title is a blatant lie, as none of these things are things that only one color can do, and most aren’t even close. Heck, the last one, +1/+1 counters, you directly state that all but red can do it just fine, and even that’s wrong as there are a lot of solid red cards that use/deal with/gain +1/+1 counters.

Or extra combat -Blue copies permanents/ Red maked copies of permanents that last a single turn (impulsive copies?) -Blue gains control of permanents/ Red gains control of permanents until end of turn So Red tends to make Blue things but in a more "impulsive" way and generally for cheaper

Black has Fling too, typically with the restriction that you can only target players. Rite of Consumption comes to mind.

You can also counter literally anything in mono black by paying 4 life with K’rrik+Painter’s Servant+Deathgrip. Always makes the talk of the shop when I pull it off.

There is a lot of card support +1/+1 counters on red. Amok its one of them, Arena trickster, Blood aspirant, cursed of stalked prey,Hamlethback goliath, ignition team, molten hydra, rock hydra and a lot lot more. Very interesting video. Great content bro.

Blood aspirant, agitator ant, goblin raze runners, ignition team, ion storm, kami of celebration, kilnmouth dragon, magma pummeler, molten hydra, ordeal of purphoros, rage forger, rumbling ruin, runaway steam-kin, slumbering dragon, sting moggie, spitting hydra, taurean mauler, red terror, thundering raiju, treasonous ogre, war elemental, animal sanctuary?, animation module, armory of iroas, crystalline crawler, diamond knight, geometric nexus, luxior, giada’s gift, ring of valkas, sword of hours, sword of truth and justice, towashi guide-bot, akki battle squad, akki ember-keeper, goro-goro, kami of celebration, falkenrath exterminator, and triumph of annax,all may be decent considerations for that red commander. They all either reliably get lots of counters, care about creatures having counters, or add counters to other creatures. They’re within mono red, and I’d still prolly run a bunch of ways to search up the ozolith as that’s still prolly the best way to make the most out of counters in red.

Mono-red +1/+1 counters: bloodthirst, and devour come to mind (dragon fodder has that name for a reason) More importantly, Red was the specialist in yoink-ing equipment.

How could you forget about thundering raiju? On attack, put a +1/+1 on creature and deal damage equal to number of modified creatures. Very good in Isshin and Chishiro decks if that how you build them

Reasons for not running discard in commander: 1) It isn't as efficient as destroying a specific threat on the board since you don't know what you're gonna hit. 2) It doesn't affect the current board state. It only changes the targeted opponent's next play. 3) Doing so will gain aggression from whichever opponent you targeted.

There is both a fog effect in both black and red. Black - Darkness. Red - A repeatable(!) effect in the form of Glacial Creavasses, if you have snow mountains to sacrifice.

Mono Red +1/+1 is tough. I once did a commander deck with that theme, using Ashling the Pilgrim as commander... it was tough going. Had a handful of red options, the rest was colorless.

Funny thing about the counter spell thing is that while I think it is definitely a blue thing by far the strongest counterspell deck I've seen in EDH is headed by Kozilek, the Great Distortion lol turning 99 cards into counters is strong, go figure xD Even capable of offsetting the heavy restriction of using colorless.

There is a Red/Blue card that came out in return to Ravnica a couple years ago. I can't remember the names of my own cards rn for some reason. But I also believe it's one of the ones with flashback where you can recast it as many times as you want as long as you have the mana. I use it to get an overwhelming card draw on my Opponent cuz Niv Mizzet has a draw and Opponent takes damage effect, or I use it to make a second Spinx Of Magosi most of the time so I can tutor that into an overwhelming unblockable flyer while being able to protect it with the instants I'm getting through its card draw effect.

For a while I thought forced sac was a part of the black mana pie but recently, especially with working on an Atla deck it is extremely commonplace in the white mana pie. I think to adjust Wizards have been making black do it more one sided. Maybe that would be a good discussion about color pie breaks? What happens to the color that is more iconic when color pie breaks become more commonplace? Does Wizards evolve it or stipulate on how a color will do the effect?

Power Conduit is an artifact that turns other counters into either charge counters for artifacts or +1/+1 counters for creatures. I would probably end up running permanents that have unique counters and converting them. Dragon’s Blood is another artifact that generates +1/+1 counters.

Green normally is the only color that allows players to put extra lands into play from your hand either with tap abilities or enchantments. Really, anything related to ramp. Blue is good at returning lands to hand. It is also very good drawing cards without the need for additional cards to be in play in other zones. Red is very good at anything related to damage by spells and damage increase and multiplier effects. Also goading. White is very good at creature tokens as well as protective spells. Black is extremely good at forcing other players to sacrifice creatures, but is becoming increasingly good at forcing players of all sorts of other permanent types as well.

Fling effect kinda colorless and it's close is sure strike trident. And as for taking extra turns I think you forgot one of the best in colorless in mindslaver or in black worst fears which is currently a card I'm putting in a magar of the magic strings with a few other gotcha cards like worldfire. And let me tell you about a series of cards back in judgement that are red that do some off color stuff or an opponent eats decent chunk of damage along the lines of book burning. Draw 3 cards for 2 and a red unless a player takes 6 damage. 6 damage is no joke especially late game when you run low on gas.
