Enchantment (1)


A borderline competitive Yisan deck. I've loved the look and concept of this commander for ages, his ability is sweet and i finally got my hands on one. Gonna go for the same or similar combo stuff as most Yisan decks do, maybe with a bit of a mixup.

Main combo is Temur Sabertooth with Karametra's Acolyte plus Wirewood Symbiote. Needs any 1 drop elf (of which I'm running many) to pay the Symbiote's activation cost so that you can continually untap the Acolyte, return and recast the Symbiote to activate it again. This should net infinite mana, which could then be sunk into the same untap combo but on Yisan to fetch an overrun effect or a pump effect you already have in play like Kamahl, Fist of Krosa.

The secondary search option is to get to Seedborn Muse as soon as is viable and go around the table getting up to 7 verse counters at my untap. Avenger of Zendikar would be ideal, then play a land and verse up to 8. I don't have the budget for Craterhoof Behemoth so End-Raze Forerunners is my option for now.

Protean Hulk isn't the goal of this beck but my thought was mass removal insurance later in the game. Board wipes aren't ideal, so fetching Hulk into Eternal Witness or even the Melira, Sylvok Outcast / Devoted Druid mana combo would be ideal.

Because this deck requires a noteworthy amount of setup time (activating Yisan multiple times for 3 mana each) and I don't have the budget for the crazy artifact fast-mana, it makes a lot more sense to fit goodstuff and stax pieces in along the way like Sylvan Safekeeper, Collector Ouphe, etc.

I know this is a pretty cheap deck compared to most cEDH decks, but that;s what I can afford and I'd rather get familiar with him before investing too much. Suggestions for interaction I can fetch would be super useful, otherwise I'm gonna wing it.
