This deck involves making combat happen and manipulating combat when it does happen. In general, the game plan is to play xantcha so that your opponents have to start worrying about blocking her or removing her. The deck has tools to ensure that she sticks around, or that she is more deadly than anticipated. The deck also includes "incentives" for players to use Xantcha's ability, such as by making them discard cards. For finishers, I mainly included some fun cards, such as rise of the dark realms and stormbreath dragon. As of submitting this deck-check, I have not played a game with this deck, with Xantcha as my commander, or with a combat-manipulation deck.
