Alesha's Prohibition: Bears and Staxes

Commander / EDH Budget Combo Hatebears RBW (Mardu) Stax

Gorbak


Maybeboard


This deck is a mix of stax creatures and hatebears to slow down the game and assemble a Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker + Village Bell-Ringer or to swing with Alesha, Who Smiles at Death and Master of Cruelties and one shot kill an opponent.

Stax pieces should be played as fast as possible to slow down and disrupt opponents. Icy Manipulator will help you tap opponents most fearsome permanent or your own Winter Orb to gain some advantage. goblin bombardement can help you kill small creatures or remove your Loxodon Gatekeeper at the end step of the player just before you and then reanimate it at your combat step with Alesha. You can also lock down the game in your favor with stax combos like Assemble the Legion + Smokestack

If your face too much opposition, just use removals or keep a few mana sources in hand and use mass land destruction like Armageddon and Cataclysm then reanimate your creatures with Alesha.

Our playgroup rules only allow us to buy cards that are under 10$ on Face to Face. We can however use cards that we got in packs. Some staples may not be there for that reason

Suggestions

Updates Add

Removed Murderous Redcap + Vizier of Remedies and Anafenza, Kin-Tree Spirit combo and Grenzo, Dungeon Warden because those cards didn't perform as well as planned. Added Solemn Simulacrum instead for card draw and mana fix.

Added Assemble the Legion as suggested to increase synergy with Smokestack and other stax pieces.

Added Icy Manipulator for more control and to tap Winter Orb before my turn.

Added Storage Matrix for more stax effects.
