This is a temur stax deck that use Xyris, the Writhing Storm fast token generation to abuse cards like Opposition and Smokestack to your lock down your opponents.

Why Xyris

- Xyris can gain advantage by your opponents casting card draw spells. So that helps because you don't have to put too many cards that only work with the commander. So we can use the free spots for more control pieces. Xyris is also an evasive creature that draws you cards. Yes his biggest issue is that he draws the player you damage, but we get to make more snakes to use with Opposition.

Stax

With Xyris's biggest upside only works when you opponents get an advantage, so we have to slow them down through a stax shell.

1. land denial

   • Cards like Blood Moon/Back to Basics/Magus of the Moon/Ruination/Root Maze/Winter Orb allow us to take out our opponents land's so they can't cast the cards draw from Xyris. Root maze also slows down artifacts as a bonus.

2. artifact denial

   • Null Rod and Collector Ouphe Are ways to stop artifact combos and fast mana.

3. Taxes

   • Trinisphere/Thorn of Amethyst/Sphere of Resistance/Damping Sphere Raising the cost of all the card can completely slow the game to your favor. Making Thassa's Oracle and Demonic Consultation cost even 2 extra mana can make it hard for the opponent to have interaction to protect it.

4. Miscellaneous Stax

   • Opposition - With the amount of snakes we can make we can use opposition to tap down your opponents on their upkeep

   • Smokestack - All those snakes you make you can just sack here so you don't lose any key cards while your opponents have to sack good cards.

   • Teferi's Puzzle Box - It disrupts your opponents and makes you snakes to you with opposition or smokestack.

   • Stranglehold - Stooping combo decks searching their decks for their combos.

   • Grafdigger's Cage - Stops reanimator deck and Breach decks.

   • Arcane Laboratory - Stops storm and can make Consultation decks fumble.
