This deck is dedicated to all the genestealers I knew and loved.

This has been a very fun build! It’s got infinite mana, a commander with built-in mana ramp and token generation in a color scheme I’ve never built before, and good ol’ fashioned shenanigans. I tried to focus on three things while building this: making big ol creatures (that also do handy things like Hydroid Krasis or Tyrant Guard), protecting my commander, and taking advantage of all the X cost instants, sorceries, or abilities I can. All kinds of synergy, all kinds of math, with the only downside being so reliant on the commander (hence all the protection spells).

My favorite part is I can play my big X spells and leave a little mana for counters or fun instants. I’m rarely beholden to a specific amount of mana needed, and that flexibility is so great! Shout out to Commander’s Quarters for their infinite combo recommendation on the Youtubes. (I’d add a link but for some reason the hyperlink doesn’t work, just look it up, a lot of great selections)

Any suggestions are welcome!!!
