Burakos, Party Leader, "This is how we do it!"

Overview

"This is how we do it!" is Low Power EDH deck purposefully imbalanced and flawed simply to fulfill having a Party most of the time.

Proactive and massive Draw and Ramp were omitted for Cleric, Rogue, Warrior and Wizard cards.

Thusly, do nothing creatures like Changeling Outcast and similar cards were omitted so slots could be filled with unspecified creature Static, Triggered and Activated abilities. Maskwood Nexus similarly was removed when Party was sustainable and consistent.

Note: If one is using this Deck List and/or guideline, I highly suggest Proactive Draw and Ramp packages. I did not include either to break conventional Deck Building molds.

Mana Base: Land/Ramp/Fixing

Stellar Land Base fulfills Mana Curve and Pip requirements.

No conventional Ramp. Deep Gnome Terramancer may get one or more Plains.

Utility Lands are few but significant and obvious; yet, it is prudent to note Maze of Ith, Kor Haven, Eiganjo Castle and Shizo, Death's Storehouse. Each allow Burakos , Varragoth, Bloodsky Sire or other creatures to attack and remain on board post Damage Phase.

Win Condition

Life-Loss paired with Combat Damage: Mirror Entity and Jazal Goldmane expedite the process, while the Commander, Life Insurance, Zulaport Cutthroat, Nadier's Nightblade chip Life away.

Alternative Win Condition: Revel in Riches. Burakos, Life Insurance and Grim Hireling greatly assist Treaure production.

Support: Tutor/Draw/Other

1 Tutor: Coveted Prize. Flavor include.

Few Draw Spells attached to creatures support Folk Hero. Each Draw card is conditional and/or limited.

Other Support varies from the 50+ creatures available.

Notably, there is Lifegain, Life-Drain and Recursion packages that come inherently to White/Black and the vast Cresture list.

Interaction

As a whole, Interaction is dense. Creature Spell and Noncreature Spell Interaction are modest, yet most Exile or Sacrifice nonland Permanents; circumventing Indestructible and Regenerate.

Dusk / Dawn, Living Death and Stick Together are somewhat, if not completely, asymmetrical and Card Advantage; additionally, Magus of the Balance and Magus of the Disk are Rattlesnakes that hit multiple Permanent types and dictate gameplay: Board State and Political assets.

General/Commander

Burakos, Party Leader plays Support; providing Treasure and Lifegain/Life Drain.

Keep brewing.
