But [known stax commander] is simply better!

Yes. Probably.

However, I've built this deck specifically to play a slow, chokehold-style stax game that puts pressure on mana, creatures and graveyards while leaning heavily into artifact synergies. I want to make Hanna as miserable as I can, so that she thrives in the high-powered, but sub-cEDH, group in which I play most of my games.

I don't want a cEDH stax deck tuned to the wider cEDH meta (e.g., Tymna and Tana). I don't want a combo in the command zone (e.g., Urza, Lavinia). I don't want a cookie-cutter internet build that everyone knows and hates (e.g., Derevi, Brago, Grand Arbiter). I also don't want to take a known stax commander and build a worse version of an existing deck.

I want to play a highly synergistic, artifact-based stax deck. I want to spend each game devising and assembling the right machine to stall out a win. I want to imbue the deck with my ideas. So that each piece earns it's place in my deck; so that I have understand – intimately – its potential and lines of play.

The Weatherlight navigator gives me exactly what I'm looking for. Vive Hanna!
