Mana Burn that is!

This deck is intended to be low-competitive. It's not here to win, it's here to make a commander game end in 30min or less. It can win, but that isn't really the point. This deck does two things very well:

  1. Give everyone at the table a metric fuckton of mana. (Overabundance, Heartbeat of Spring, Mana Flare)

  2. Punish player's life points for doing just about anything in the game. (Manabarbs, Cindervines, Burning-Tree Shaman)

Tangential effects that feed into those primary two abound as well. Giving players extra lands both ramps everyone to make the game faster, but adds increased damage from Zo-Zu the Punisher or Ankh of Mishra. Giving myself mana-sinks so that I'm not mana-burning myself unnecessarily is also beneficial, so cards like Gemstone Array and Staff of Domination can be very beneficial at making a lot of the universal punishment effects hurt me less than others. A small amount of life gain effects are helpful at unbalancing things a bit in my favor, like Klothys, God of Destiny and Lifegift. The longer I stay in the game, the faster the whole game goes because the more mana everyone has access to and the more damage everyone is taking passively.

I did include a handful of finishers on the off-chance this deck can close out a victory. For the most part though, they are also just really good mana-sinks for dumping vast amounts of mana into to output damage to other players. Comet Storm, Fall of the Titans, and Jaya's Immolating Inferno all have the potential to take out multiple players at once if life totals are low enough and/or I have enough mana output.

Also, sometimes it is just fun to play a more casual deck that enables everyone else at the table to play their decks faster/more effectively. All the while, watching that fuse burn down, waiting for the bomb to go off...
