Summary & Introduction

This deck looks to compete as a strong Ramp / Graveyard synergy deck with a focus on Creature ETB Effects and Flicker spells.

Here's some stuff this deck does and is good at:

Digging through its library to find answers and combo pieces
Using its graveyard as a sort of extra hand, to generate value and card advantage
Setting up and going off with complex but powerful combos from unintuitive board positions

Here's some stuff this deck doesn't really do or is bad at:

While this deck contains plenty of creatures, engaging in combat is usually not something that it wants to do
Ending games in its favor without a complex combo is difficult for this deck. It doesn't have any cards that win the game on their own
This deck struggles to deal with Exile-level removal. If an essential combo piece is exiled, the deck doesn't have too many redundancies

If these things sound interesting to you / don't immediately turn you off of the idea of playing this deck, then read on! If not, be glad I warned you here because this is about to get pretty intensive. This is a very fun deck to play, but it isn't very beginner-friendly or intuitive at first glance. This description will break down each of the different aspects of the deck, what they are, how they work, and how they interact with each other, as well as how this deck wins and generates value, with some things to watch out for at the end.

Let's start by explaining the unique categorization of the cards above you, and what each category means.

Card Category Explanations

Fodder

"Fodder," in this case, is referring to creatures that provide some sort of benefit when flickered (usually by means of an ETB trigger to be doubled and abused by Yarok, the Desecrated).

Recyclers

Recyclers return other cards from your graveyard to your hand, generating card advantage via reuse, as well as resistance to non-exile removal. Recyclers are also an essential part of this deck's win condition(s), as they can be used in combination with Dual Flicker spells like Displace and combo pieces like Peregrine Drake to generate infinite mana. This combo, and the various routes to its completion, are explained in further detail following this part of the description.

Flickers

Flickers are spells (usually instants) that remove Fodder from the battlefield for a split second, then return it to the battlefield, triggering any effects that would be caused by the Fodder's reentry, as well as fizzling any spells targeting the Fodder's prior form, and clearing the Fodder of any sort of counters, auras, or equipment.

Digging

Cards in the digging section are classified as such because, generally, they "dig" multiple cards deep into the top of your library to find the best options. Sometimes, digging cards will send the chaff to the bottom of your library. Other times, digging cards will send the chaff to your graveyard. The latter option is preferred.

Reanimators

Reanimators are spells that move cards from your graveyard directly to the battlefield. Generally, this is used to cheat creatures out for less than their normal casting costs, which this deck does do. However, because of the way this deck generates value (flickers and ETB trigger doubling), Reanimation is also used as a form of resilience against removal spells, and as a means of moving cards tutored with something like a Vile Entomber out of your graveyard and onto the battlefield for immediate use.

Reanimated

"Reanimated," in this context, is the word I'm choosing to use for the categorization of any cards that can be used or cast from the graveyard without first being returned to your hand.

Non-Essential Explanations Show

Treason

Treason refers to any card that steal's an opponent's stuff. This can be off the top of their library, out of their graveyard, or directly from the battlefield. Stealing and casting people's entire decks with Gonti, Lord of Luxury is not an uncommon way to win for this deck.

Tutors

Tutors are used to look for any essential cards you might need. Most of the tutors in this deck are repeatable, either via Flickering effects or Recycling, so don't be afraid to use the uncleaved part of Dig Up early, since you'll most likely get to use it again later.

Lands

Lands are lands. They provide mana. This deck has a lot of basic lands, to be targeted by cards like Rampant Growth.

Ramp

Ramp refers to cards that can be used to accelerate this deck's production of mana, either by searching for lands to be put onto the battlefield or by playing additional lands directly from your hand. Most of the Ramp in this deck can be recycled with either Recycler cards or Flicker effects.

Draws

Draws are cards that fill your hand up with stuff out of your library.

Removal

The Removal category consists of any cards in the deck that can take care of opposing threats, usually via destruction, bouncing, or treason.

Discard

"Discard," in this deck, refers to cards that allow you to discard things from your own hand into the graveyard. Sometimes the cards that you want to have in your graveyard are in your hand and need to be discarded to be used to full effect. Other times, expensive creatures sitting in your hand could actually enter the battlefield if you were to discard and subsequently reanimate them. Just remember while playing this deck that a discarded card is not lost forever- you have plenty of ways to get it back later.

Untaps

"Untaps" are cards that untap your stuff, usually lands. These are essential pieces of the engines and combos in this deck, and are almost always worth tutoring and protecting if you can.

Tokens

Cards in the Tokens category generate tokens. These can't be flickered or abused in the same way that other creatures in the deck can, but it's nice to have a board presence, and most of the cards that make tokens also do other things for this deck that matter more.

Doublers

There are only two Doublers in the deck, Panharmonicon, and Yarok, the Desecrated (the commander). However, if you can get either of these onto the field, the game becomes much, much easier. Engines sort of start to just create themselves, and value is off the charts. These cards are very much worth casting if you can, but you don't need them to combo off, so don't let them be a red herring that distracts you from a possible game ending combo if you had just kept the mana clear.

Lifegain

Lifegain cards gain life. This effect is nice in any format, and is also good in commander, even though life totals start pretty high. Also, once you start going off, cards like Thragtusk can generate infinite life (as well as infinite tokens but that's not the point of this section).

Fogs

Fogs used to be a much larger part of this deck, but are still worth talking about now, even in their much-reduced current state. Fogs let you stall the game! They make it possible to survive attacks from people with massive boards, giant creatures, infect strategies, voltron strategies, etc. Because of the high saturation of Recyclers in this deck, Fogs can often be recast over and over, rather than a one-time save.

Wipes

Wipes refers to board-wipe style cards or effects. This deck doesn't have too many Wipes in it, but the ones it does have are very effective and rewarding to use in this kind of strategy.

Counterspells

Counterspells do exactly that- counter spells! Unlike most other decks though, this one's Counterspells are often tied to creatures with flash! This makes them a little bit harder to cast (restrictive mana costs, higher mana costs), but makes it so that you can counter a spell just by Flickering or Reanimating a creature, instead of only getting to counter something once.

Politics

This deck doesn't play too much politics, but it does have some cards that create a political situation by either hurting or benefiting other players. These cards can be used to make deals with opponents while furthering your own game plan.

Win Conditions & Winning the Game

In this section, I'll be breaking down this deck's win conditions, how to set them up, and board states to look out for that might set you up to win the game. I'll also go over a couple other possible ways to win the game without going off in the event that some of your essential combo pieces have been permanently taken care of.
