Abstract Overview

This deck aims to exploit Sakashima of a Thousand Faces's "the legend rule doesn't apply to permanents you control text" by cloning our other commander, Slurrk, All Ingesting, and then smashing face with an army of ooze for the win.

1) Can pack a big combat punch

2) Is good at blocking

3) Isn't prone to single target removal

1) Can be blown out of the water by board wipes

2) A lot of token hosers (Ratchet Bomb, Maelstrom Pulse, etc.) ruin a game for this deck

Turns 1-3: Ramp. Ramp. Ramp.

Turn 4: Play Slurrk

Turns 5-6: Get enough copies of Slurrk to have a secure board state

7-9: Try to win through combat

The strategy is pretty simple overall, but there are three strategies that need some explanation:

1) Don't copy Slurrk; copy Sakashima. Yes, we want copies of Slurrk, but copying Sakashima allows us to get more Slurrks (the copy of Sakashima will enter as a Slurrk), while gaining more of Sakashima's legend rule negating effect, so that when one copy is removed, our board doesn't go kaput.

2) Only sacrifice or trade a Slurrk if the cumulative increase in +1/+1 counters among your creatures is greater than the power of the sacrificed creature.

3) Don't be afraid to copy an opponent's threat; we have plenty of copy spells for Slurrk, too many. If you see an Opposition Agent, take it.

Yup, that's all this panel's about. Sluuuurrrrrrrrk!
