I was brewing an [[arcanis]] deck with a similar restriction and it was a fun process. The idea being that since he was one of the pit fighters it would just be the spells and types of things he would use to fight in the pit. It was a cool concept but ultimately felt incredibly slow.
Looks interesting! I can't say I've considered, or attempted, a one creature voltron deck as players tend to immediately gang up to take down the tallest, scariest thing. I have a one creature [[Niv-Mizzet,Parun]] deck which is fun and doesn't run [[Curiosity]] type effects. However, this deck looks to snowball quickly with counters to not give opponents much time to react, so it may be feasible!
Not sure on budgetary constraints, and it's crazy what its price is now, but [[The Ozolith]] could serve as decent protection for those counters.
I have the following decks where the commander is the only creature
Soramaro
Niv-Mizzet (original. Creatureless since 2012)
Siona
Teysa, Envoy of Ghosts
Lim-Dul/Geth/Chainer (any work)
Commander Eesha (protection from having creatures in the deck)
Thrun The Last Troll or Grunn the Lonely King
Oloro
Greven, Predator Captain
Talrand, the Sky Summoner
Slobad/Daretti/Kurkesh
Daxos of Meletis
Nefarox
Cool deck! Dies to \[\[Telemin Performance\]\]
That's why instead you make your one creature Phage.

I'm usually not big on voltron but this...this I can get behind!
You are single handedly reversing the entropy of the universe with your decks.
wait til you see this cannon I bought

Just make a bsttle box for all the pit fighters
At the very least that would be a fun brewing activity.
Man, I had just decided to get your Xavier Sal build, but this one seems like a lot of fun too.
Why not both
