Daretti stax for commander. Maindeck for multiplayer, sidedeck is competitive cards and 1v1 cards.

I wont write out much of a primer, but the main idea of the deck is to push the game into a state where players are taxed hard on carrying out their strategies. This is done using tax cards like Sphere of Resistance or heavy punish cards like Possessed Portal . The deck gets to these powerful spells either by ramping or reanimating with Daretti. Daretti and Goblin Welder are also used to break parity so I get to play my turns less taxed than opponents. If the deck is not able to stax out opponents you also have mass land destruction like Ruination and Epicenter to possibly knock people out of the game.

Some strong combos in the deck:

• Basalt Monolith + Rings of Brighthearth for infinite colourless mana
• Rings of Brighthearth + Sensei's Divining Top will draw your deck with infinite mana
• Goblin Cannon or Walking Ballista do infinite damage with infinite mana
• Mana Web + Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth force opponents to tap all their lands at once, effectively forcing them to one phase
• Experimental Frenzy breaks the no draw parity of Possessed Portal
