Kenrith's Leaden-BB Factory is a 5 color deck that wants to play with its life total and use Kenrith's third ability to gain life and thus use its life total as a resource more effectively. The title refers to the deck's combos: Leaden is a reference to LED, Lion's Eye Diamond, and BB refers to LED's two other parts: Bomberman (Auriok Salvagers) and Underworld Breach. The deck can win with Ad Nauseum, and Angel's Grace if necessary, and Ad Nauseum decks are usually referred to as "farm" decks. However, a farm that grows bb-guns doesn't make sense, so it's Kenrith's Leaden-BB Factory.

The deck is intended to be a mix of turbo LED or ad naus, depending on opening hand, and midrange value lists. An alternate wincon is any cost reducer (which is always good if the game goes long) + composite golem in the gy. Reanimate golem for less than it produces, sacrifice it, repeat. Filter any color of mana other than black and make your opponents draw more cards than are in their library.

Notable exclusion: Dockside Extortionist blinker. I felt that 6 mana for Deadeye is too much, and while Emiel's 4 cmc is reasonable, it competes with Auriok Salvager. I might go back on this and swap Auriok Salvagers for Emiel, especially since I have Survival of the Fittest, but I'm not sure. I will update after testing the deck.

This is my 2nd attempt at a cEDH brew. The first attempt was terrible, as I was terrible at the game and didn't understand what makes a cEDH deck good. Since then, I have learned a lot about the format. I have been playing Midrange Kess, and I wanted to try my hand at another farm deck but also at a deck that had a similar overall high card quality to Kess. I was drawn to Kenrith Evolution, but I found it too durdly for my taste, and wanted to build something tighter and more explosive, so here goes. Advice and comments are appreciated, and questions are welcome. Hope the deck is decent.

Also I don't recommend this deck for a beginner, not because it's terribly complicated but because it is probably not very good and you're much better off learning with something tried and true like Kess Midrange.

P.S. some of the deck is copied from a couple of Kenrith Evo lists, as I wasn't sure exactly what cards were good enough, and some of it is copied from a turbo breach Kess list, as well as a Golos farm storm list. Thanks to everyone who posts there lists online for others to use, and kudos to anyone brave enough to try this.
