Strategy
Faceless One is a unique commander that lets you pick any color before the game starts, making it incredibly flexible for building around whatever strategy appeals to you. The real power comes from pairing it with a Background card—your second commander—that defines your deck's identity and game plan. You're essentially building a two-commander deck where Faceless One is the colorless glue that holds a specific color strategy together, while your Background fills the role of a traditional commander with its own abilities and direction.
The best Backgrounds synergize with token generation, sacrifice outlets, card draw, or aggressive strategies. Once you've chosen your color and Background, you're playing a standard Commander deck with that color's strengths amplified. Since Faceless One itself is a modest 3/3 for five mana, it won't carry the game on its own—it's there to be flexibly colored and enable your Background's game plan. Think of it as a color-shifter that unlocks specific Backgrounds you might not otherwise be able to cast, letting you explore creative two-commander combinations.
