5 Color Beef Combo Meal

Commander / EDH

CyberneticDruid


This deck is all about cheating big creatures into play using multiple routes to multiple combos.

Any 5 color commander could take the helm, I chose a mana fixer for now (Jenson Carthalion, Druid Exile), though I'm finding that he's not needed most of the time.

Feedback appreciated, known issues:

  • Weak against graveyard hate, search hate, non-basic hate, and easily disrupted.

  • Steering mana base more toward green and black.

  • Fine tuning creature engine/toolbox selection.

  • Fine tuning combo support: ramp, draw, tutors, etc.

  • Top maybe cards listed at the end, looking for more silver bullet creatures.

The combo that started the deck, an old favorite of mine: Conspiracy + Skyshroud Poacher name elf and search your library for any creature and plop it directly into play. Here Arcane Adaptation and Maskwood Nexus do the same job as Conspiracy, while Seahunter and Moggcatcher do the same job as Skyshroud Poacher, just name Goblin or Merfolk as necessary.

I've also included plenty of green mana dorks + Natural Order fetches Progenitus

There's also Dark Depths + Vampire Hexmage or Thespian's Stage for the 20/20 Marit Lage token.

Survival of the Fittest Can singlehandedly stock your graveyard then leave Doomed Necromancer in your hand to get things started.

Devouring Strossus + Reya Dawnbringer or Hell's Caretaker allows you to reuse comes into play/dies abilities.

Buried Alive, Entomb, Animate Dead and Living Death gives us some traditional reanimation capability.

A fetched Maelstrom Archangel can help if you have something expensive stuck in your hand.

Eternal Witness lets you reuse ramp and tutors.

Fetching Mystic Snake at instant speed can be really surprising when you counter with an empty hand, then Karmic Guide can pull it out of the graveyard.

Gaea's Cradle + Palinchron can sometimes go infinite, but there's not much to do with it, open to suggestions.

Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite is on crowd control.

Kokusho, the Evening Star gives us a non-combat win condition.

Maybe Add List: Exhume, Show and Tell, Genesis, Hermit Druid, Faeburrow Elder

Cut List: Ravenous Chupacabra, Reclamation Sage
