Narset, Enlightened Master

Commander / EDH

Xelinor


Pillow Fort deck with a surprisingly nasty 'And now I win' rate. Id love some feedback or suggestions on how to improve it further :)

It can take a few rounds to get going, but you won't attract much attention until generally the turn right before you just flat out win the game. Worth noting, this is very much a multiplayer leaning deck. It doesn't really work in 1 on 1 games of commander much at all.

There is a lot of top-deck manipulation and a goodly mix of other stuff thrown in as well.

Win Conditions (Vedalken Orrery can replace Leyline of Anticipation in any of these):

Eternal Dominion + Hive Mind or Undying Flames

The way this works is you use one of the many creature or Planeswalker powered ways in the deck to duplicate the epic spell being played MULTIPLE times for you. Since spells that are duplicated are duplicated inside the stack, they don't actually count as being 'cast' so not only is this legal for the epic rule, but it also means every turn you will get MULTIPLE castings of the epic spell chosen and your opponents will be unable to cast anything but the one single epic spell you actually played from your hand. This gives significant advantage.

If you don't have enough duplicators in play, this can also be accomplished with duplication spells in hand but you will need Leyline of Anticipation and probably Omniscience or an attack with Narset to accomplish it since Hive Mind would need to be on the stack to pull it off.

Enter the Infinite + Omniscience + Leyline of Anticipation + Grapeshot

You literally play your entire deck and use grapeshot's storm effect to deal hundreds of damage to your opponents. Just duplicate 1 grapeshot per opponent or even multiple as-needed.

Mana Flare + Palinchron + Target player draws X

This one is obvious...

Hive Mind + Vicious Shadows + Hateflayer + Prosperity

Make everyone draw a ton of cards and then use something to kill a creature. Also works REALLY well in response to somone doing a board wipe.

Other neat combos:

Gate to the AEther + Paradox Haze + Scroll Rack

Arc Blade + Copy Enchantment + Paradox Haze /Chronomantic Escape/Reality Strobe
