Everyone has seen the Ezuri, Claw of Progress pre-fab deck for sale right now with Commander 2015 and everyone agrees that he is the best of those pre-fab decks. But, while most people side with Meren as the commander with the most potential, I move that that title actually should go to Ezuri.

WARNING: This deck is built to do the same thing every game. You will most likely acquire a lot of hate for playing it because of how it works. IT IS NOT BUILT TO BE FUN FOR EVERYBODY, just you.

The primary win condition of this deck is using Sage of Hours to take infinite turns.

How this works is if you have 5 experience counters and Ezuri out on the battlefield when you move to combat and your opponents can't get rid of either Ezuri or Sage of Hours, your opponents probably just scoop. You put 5 +1/+1 counters on Sage of Hours then remove them at instant speed to take an extra turn. You do the same thing at the beginning of combat on each of your extra turns creating an infinite turn combo.

This deck has several ways to return things from the graveyard, mainly Eternal Witness, Verdant Confluence, and Skullwinder. So save those cards as well as a tutor to get Eternal Witness that way if your primary win condition dies, you can get it back.

If that fails you move on to plan B, Infect. Blighted Agent and Glistener Elf lend a solid Infect sub-theme to this deck. Put +1/+1 counters on them with Ezuri to make it go quicker.

If all else fails, go straight beat down. You have enough utility removal in her to last until you can get a sizable board state going. When your board state is huge, drop Craterhoof Behemoth and swing out to hopefully win.

No matter what though always be trying to get back your primary win condition in Sage of Hours. He is most reliable as the win condition. With amount of tutors, card draw, and control aspects in here, it shouldn't be too hard to bring him up.

Your god hand in this deck: Island, Forest, Sol Ring, Dryad Arbor, Sage of Hours, Experiment One, Glistener Elf with a Simic Signet draw. If your second or third draw is a creature with CMC 2 or less, you win turn 3.
