"The only thing Ziatora desires is 'more'."


More treasure, more death, more cards. More value! This deck gets off the ground fast, despite having a 6 cost commander. Ziatora is strong on her own as a 6/6 and provides massive value with her fling ability. On top of that, she generates treasure as well, to help pay for her tax whenever she dies. It's great!!

So the premise is to buff our big creatures (Daemogoth Titan) to make them even bigger (Unleash Fury), swing with them if we can, then if they're still around at the end step, fling them at our opponent's face with Ziatora, the Incinerator). If they aren't, that's what the post-combat main phase is for. Drop a big cheap dummy like Cosmic Larva and sac to our insatiable commander.

We make use of the death triggers with cruel things like Dictate of Erebos, Sek'Kuar, Deathkeeper, and my personal favourite Jar of Eyeballs - and our death triggers help some of our guys get bigger too Body Dropper, Blood Aspirant, and Juri, Master of the Revue (two of whom also get jacked on sacing treasures!). There are lots of recursion type effects to get our biggest creatures back from the bin and fling them again, and also some ramp and card draw to help us find what we need.

Blitz is a great keyword for getting our creatures out and swinging fast, and sacing them to our commander before they sac themselves still draws us a card. Value!

Lots of things in here make big tokens that are just Ziatora fodder. Dragonmaster Outcast, Jaxis, the Troublemaker, and Broodmate Dragon just to name a few.

Some really deadly combos to watch out for here are our commander plus any of these:


I've tested a younger version of this deck in my playgroup and it put on a great show with a few solid wins. Since then, I've added some new heavy hitters like Yargle and Multani, Flameshadow Conjuring, and Revel in Riches for an alt win con. I've also improved the mana base. The pricier cards in this deck are proxied, so it may read as more expensive than it truly cost.

Please tell me what you think, and if you have any suggestions! If you play Ziatora, link your deck - I'd love to see it!
