Colorless enchantments are a very niche category of Magic cards. And that's when you consider all of them; the good ones are… well, let's just say that's a very niche category.

But colorless enchantments do exist, and recent sets have added to the body count while also giving us some more colorless commanders that may be interested in this narrow niche.

Let's get down to it and review all the colorless enchantments in Magic!

What Are Colorless Enchantments in MTG?

Case of the Shattered Pact | Illustration by Peter Polach

For our purposes, we're calling a colorless enchantment any enchantment with no colors in its color identity.

There are two ways to define “colorless” in Magic. For non-Commander formats, a card's color(s) matches the pips in its casting cost or the color indicator printed to the left of the type line (right below the illustration).

For Commander though, color identity considers all the mana symbols on the card (both in its cost and its rules text). That's why Alesha, Who Smiles at Death is a red card (you just need to cast it) but has a Mardu () color identity (because its rules text mentions and as part of Alesha's abilities).

For this ranking, I'll go by Commander's more restrictive definition, which leaves out one specific corner case: devoid enchantments. Something like Kozilek's Unsealing has a blue color identity (even if the rules text says “This card has no color”), and Path of Annihilation has a green color identity.

As such, I won't include them in this very short ranking; you can dig into the best devoid cards if you're dying to see them ranked.

Honorable Mention: Greatest Show in the Multiverse

Yeah, I know: Being an acorn card from Unfinity, Greatest Show in the Multiverse is technically illegal everywhere.

The premise is great, though (I'm personally going with artist Jack Hughes here), as long as you get your playgroup to accept this artifact saga as part of your Rule 0 conversation.

#9. Faceless One

The idea behind Faceless One isn’t awful: You can complement your favorite background with the color of your choice. So, if Agent of the Iron Throne got your brewing juices going, Faceless One can be green if you want the pair to work as a Golgari commander, or it can be red if you want a Rakdos commander, etc.

But of course, if you're playing with backgrounds, it's always strictly better pairing Agent of the Iron Throne with one of the mono-colored commanders from Baldur's Gate. Durnan of the Yawning Portal, for example, if you want Golgari, or Amber Gristle O'Maul if you want Rakdos. In those cases, you get a real commander rather than a vanilla 3/3 for .

#8. Case of the Shattered Pact

Case of the Shattered Pact fetches a land for then asks you to jump through hoops to get some nice combat keywords that don't include haste. No wonder this case remains unsolved.

#7. Super State

Super State turns any of your creatures into an absolute bomb. This colorless enchantment aura boosts a creature's stats, gives killer keywords, and can spread its combat damage to every opponent. The high cost and fear of the targeted creature being removed limit the overall upside. That is, until you consider targeting a protected creature like Sigarda, Host of Herons, or using cost-reducing abilities like Golden-Tail Trainer.

#6. Ugin's Mastery

Ugin's Mastery was tailormade to play with Eldrazi, a creature type that was beefed up in Modern Horizons 3. It also has synergy with artifact creatures, morph, and disguise. It sees some casual Commander play, but this manifest card doesn't make the cut into competitive decks.

#5. Summon: Bahamut

Summon: Bahamut has become a go-to target for reanimation decks. If you can get this card into your graveyard early and reanimate for cheap with a spell like Yuna, Hope of Spira, the upsides are insane. This colorless enchantment is removal, card draw, and a probable wincon all in one saga. Since Summon: Bahamut is colorless, a creature, and an enchantment, it can fit into almost any reanimate deck you can think of.

#4. Echoes of Eternity

Unlike other colorless enchantments, casting Echoes of Eternity demands colorless mana (not just generic), which ironically is quite a big ask for a colorless card. Part of their appeal is that you can fit them into any deck and spend any type of mana to cast them, but for Echoes of Eternity, the 3 colorless mana isn’t so easy to achieve. As such, this kindred Eldrazi enchantment sees fairly little play, despite being a mega-bomb in the decks it's designed for.

#3. Valgavoth’s Lair

There's not better feeling than getting enchantment triggers like eerie and constellation from a land. Valgavoth's Lair is an enchantment land that helps with mana fixing wonderfully. These two traits make this land a must-roster in so many different enchantment decks. There’s also extra value if you can animate this land. The hexproof makes it a solid creature when animated with cards like Destiny Spinner.

#2. Eldrazi Conscription

While still not powerful enough to see cEDH play, Eldrazi Conscription is one of the strongest auras ever printed and turns even the tiniest of tokens into a massive, annihilating threat. The high casting cost isn’t trivial to overcome, but getting a pseudo-hasty Eldrazi with a deadly attack trigger is a great way to finish games fast.

#1. Urza's Saga

Probably surprising to no one who's into colorless enchantments, Urza's Saga from Modern Horizons 2 is a massive jump in quality compared to anything else.

This colorless enchantment land usually nets you two Constructs (you can create the second while the trigger for chapter III is still on the stack, before you sacrifice the saga), and then tutor whichever artifact you need: a mana rock, an egg, or whatever the situation demands.

Urza's Saga is both one of the best lands and one of the best sagas in Magic, and sees competitive play in all Magic formats where it's legal, including top-tier Vintage and cEDH decks.

Colorless Enchantment Tokens

The following is a list of colorless enchantment tokens produced by other card effects:

• Golem (Created by Hammer of Purphoros)
• Monster Role
• Cursed Role
• Royal Role
• Sorcerer Role
• Wicked Role
• Young Hero Role
• Virtuous Role
• Shard
• Shrine

Best Colorless Enchantment Payoffs

Magic's few colorless enchantments are all over the place when it comes to what type of deck they want to fit into: Urza's Saga cares for cheap artifacts, Case of the Shattered Pact wants a 5-color deck, etc. You do get the marginal benefit of less worry about mana fixing when you play these, though.

There are cards that reward you for playing colorless permanents or casting colorless spells like Ugin, Eye of the Storms and Echoes of Eternity.

Being colorless gives you a wide range in playing these cards in any enchantment decks that can effectively use them. Great enchantment commanders include Tuvasa the Sunlit, Zur, Eternal Schemer, and Wildsear, Scouring Maw.

You can, of course, benefit from enchantment mana-support and cost-reducing cards like Jukai Naturalist and Sanctum Weaver, as well as enchantress cards like Sythis, Harvest's Hand and Mesa Enchantress.

And there you go: the few enchantment cards with a colorless color identity. A niche, varied bunch with not much in common except their card type and colorlessness, but if it happens to be your niche, these are all that Magic offers!
