Hey guys, I've been wanting to build a Child of Alara edh for months, but i cant get my hands to a copy without singles , or get a decent landbase ( i already have 2x5 color decks) so it's kinda a pain
I've been looking to other choices, i have a Kaervek edh deck that can be replaced with a Malfegor
A constant board wipe was what this deck was missing, so i kinda stopped playing it,but now it's time for a revamp
Having a board wipe on your commander zone seems nuts/strong.
But before actually getting to the drawing board i'd like to make a list of all the commanders that are board wiping
Child of Alara is usually the most common choice, but the thing to remember with her is that she has to go to the graveyard in order to wipe, not the command zone. That's something that a lot of new Child players tend to overlook (and debate endlessly about).
Mageta the Lion, though mono-white, is pretty powerful and an unusual pick for a commander. Along with Avacyn and other Indestructible dudes he can give you card advantage despite the two card activation cost.

Sorry about any spelling mistakes, I'm typing on a phone most of the time.

What's the wincon? Your general is in the command zone, and all of your permanents are in exile. Sure, so are everyone else's, but where do you go from there?

The OP was trying to list generals that wipe the board. I'm not going to defend the validity of using him as a general as that is not the intent of this thread.

mhmhm, what cards do add him to hand in mono white?
anyhow i did change my kaervek into malfegor, Vedalken Orrery is awesome, also i didn't take into consideration that he's a nice evasive beater WITH a wipe, aswell (especially with Skullclamp ,lol) im happy.

still the thread can keep goin,i love lists.
You can bounce him with cards like Erratic Portal. Or you can just use That Which Was Taken. Either option isn't great though cause of the total cost.
Sadly a lot of the monowhite commanders are great for a board wiping (like Mageta, Teroh or even Elesh Norn), but the restriction to only white really hurts too much. So if you want to board wipe a lot, you are better off playing something like Zurgo Helmsmasher and playing all the board wipes in the deck. But that's not what you want.

I've Played Phage before so gimmicky ways to make my commander work doesn't turn me off, at all i forgot about the artifact,what an idiot
I already have a Tajic deck built that way, but that's totally different,
I made this thread to gather all the reliable board wipes that you can have in your command zone,it's a pretty big role in a deck (like commanders being used as finishers(commander dmg)or as combo pieces, i want them as a board wipe)

Mageta being instant speed is what makes him for me.
Still i think the Demon Dragon and mass Sacrifice (too many inder) is what goes for me.
Did we cover everything? I dont think so :X..
any other wiper/or wipe friendly? (not wipe heavy deck,say tajic)
