I like to think Ghyrson Starn, Kelermorph is a great commander deck to introduce to a beginner. He isn't hard too complicated, and his kit is really easy to pick up and have fun. I just wanted to make something fun that would be really fast and be, essentially, death by a thousand cuts. So here I have made my version of a very popular beginners' commander.

Most everything in here will deal exactly 1 damage to something so Ghryson here can stack on top of it. Classic creatures lile Electrostatic Field, Thermo-Alchemist, & Kessig Flamebreather all ping opponents 1 damage on casting sorceries or instants. Chandra, Awakened Inferno's +1 ability gives opponents a stackable 1 damage per upkeep per emblem. If that goes unnoticed, it will get out of hand very quickly. Most of the spells here are 1 pingers. It's a classic Red strategy. Fast, quick, and cheap spells to do lots of damage in the early stages of the game. The sprinkled blue elements are for control and card draw. Can't have too many pesky creatures slow us down or burn through our hand to rely on top deck drawing. The point is simply get Ghyrson Starn, Kelermorph out ASAP then start pinging.

Inevitably, you will get into late games. Red kind of runs out of steam the longer the game plays out. Red is more like a sprinter, not a marathon runner. So, to kind of help that I have a few cards for Endgame/Late game moments.

1. Blasphemous Act + Cyclonic Rift - great ways to clear the board in case anyone else becomes too threatening.
2. Polymorph's Jest + Any 1 damage to all creatures - great single player board wipe for the same reason as #1.
3. Corrupted Conscience + Ghyrson Starn, Kelermorph - ping for poison counters. Race to 10.
4. Grafted Exoskeleton + Ghyrson Starn, Kelermorph - same as #3
5. Niv-Mizzet, the Firemind + either Curiosity, Ophidian Eye or a souldbound Tandem Lookout - draw a card and ping everyone to death (assuming you also have enough cards in your library to do that)

I hope you enjoy it! Share this with someone who is just getting into MTG. I always love seeing new players get into this game! Check out my other decks too if you have the time!
