Maybeboard


This is my pet deck. It was my first deck I built getting back into magic after 10+ years of no play, and my introduction to commander. I had a really crappy Azorius deck from when I used to play, so I searched for a suitable commander. I read Brago, King Eternal ability, a couple of primers, and went to town with him.

It started as a very casual deck, with extremely high mana curve, and all sorts of cards. After a years worth of continuous changes and improvements, it ended up like the list above. It is my own take on a non-stax, but competitive Brago, King Eternal deck.

It relies on cards like Cloudblazer, Tsabo's Web & Wall of Omens to draw, and draw and draw... It's got all the control elements you'd expect from a control deck, with the exception of maybe boardwipes, because my meta is very heavy on the "I don't play creatures" side. I had to put a pretty strong protection package for the commander, since he is focused quite a lot. Counterspells, and Faith's Reward are excellent for this.

You end the game by assembling the Strionic Resonator infinite loop, and usually drawing you whole deck with any "draw a card" ETB permanent, and flashing in Venser, Shaper Savant to bounce everything to your opponents hands. If they don't scoop, you play Helm of Obedience + Rest in Peace combo next turn to mill them all.

I'm currently trying to foil as much as I can from the deck... Let me know if you have any of the cards, and we may be able to work something out. I have Cardsphere and also trade on the "MTG SICK DEALS" group of facebook.

Ikoria adds 2 cards to are pretty much must includes... And then looking at other Brago lists, they run Basalt Monolith + Rings of Brighthearth combo as a backup, instead on relying on Helm of Obedience. You need Sensei's Divining Top now, but you draw most of your deck, use Tezzeret the Seeker ultimate ability to swing and win. You may have to control the board 1 or 2 turns, which is what I'm skeptical about (I'm assuming no Strionic Resonator loop). But you should be able to drop all the artifact stax pieces before passing.
