Finally there are enough gates in Commander to play a 4c Maze's End deck!!! I was debating putting Omnath, Locus of Creation at the helm. But my deck is a bit durdly and other players expect broken sh*t, when they see Omnath. So I opted for the thicc Chads instead. They give a cute Group Hug vibe, that (hopefully) will let me survive until turn 8 or so, to get a surprise win with Maze's End. This is, however, not the only win-con. I put in all the usual suspects in a land deck: Dark Depths + Thespian's Stage , Dryad of the Ilysian Grove + Valakut, the Molten Pinnacle , Field of the Dead, Felidar Retreat and a lot of land-tutors/ramp. Backup plans consist of ramping into things like Kessig Wolf Run and having Kynaios and Tiro of Meletis or huge creatures like Beanstalk Giant or Gatebreaker Ram trample through for lethal, after I drained everybody a bunch with Crackling Perimeter + Seedborn Muse or the third landfall trigger from Omnath, Locus of Creation; or hoping that everybody likes the value my commander provides so much, that they leave me alive until the end, so I can eek out a win in the heads-up. Constant Mists and landfall life-gain triggers can help with that. I have not playtested much yet, but I fear that a bunch of flyers and fast combo decks might be an issue. But I just don't like playing counterspells.

Notable combos/ synergies

1. Dark Depths + Thespian's Stage
2. Crackling Perimeter + Seedborn Muse and a couple of Gates on the battlefield
3. Dryad of the Ilysian Grove + Valakut, the Molten Pinnacle
4. Knight of the Reliquary + Retreat to Coralhelm
5. Amulet of Vigor + Simic Growth Chamber or any other bounce-land
6. an overloaded Cyclonic Rift + Shaman of Forgotten Ways
