Although I wasn't especially inspired by Esika/Bridge when Kaldheim first came out, this commander is really growing on me. The obvious build path is to just run all haymaker creatures, but The Prismatic Bridge also allows you to choose a small subset of targets to find in order to sculpt a specific boardstate, and therefore it also enables building a five-color version of really whatever creature or Planeswalker you want.

Enter Tamanoa .

This is a 5-color group-slug deck that breaks the parity of cards like Manabarbs , Spellshock , and Pyrohemia by giving them lifelink with Tamanoa and making them do more to our opponents with Torbran, Thane of Red Fell . Alongside these two, we have two more creatures we can hit off The Prismatic Bridge; Zur the Enchanter to tutor out various enchantments, and Setessan Champion , to draw cards off our enchantments.
