A stalwart of pre-Eldraine commander, Prossh, Skyraider of Kher is an aggressive deck that relies on aristocrat and combo game plans to finish off opponents in a variety of explosive fashions. The key to all of these strategies is the commander. Prossh can end the game very quickly with a multitude of minions and a pump effect of etb damage spell and can also accrue loads of value by sacrificing the tokens he makes with aristocrats payoffs to drain opponents or draw cards or generate mana.

So, it is essential to get Prossh in the game as soon as possible. Since we are in green we have lots of good ramp options to help us achieve that goal. Land ramp works very well alongside mana rocks but mana dorks and creatures that fetch out lands are especially useful in this deck that cares about generating and sacrificing creatures.

Once Prossh is on the field, the most straightforward way to win is by beating down by either going wide or going tall. Impact Tremors and Purphoros, God of the Forge will do bonus damage when the entourage hits the field. Spells like Ogre Battledriver or Beastmaster Ascension will pump up a large team of creatures to make impactful attacks. Or, Prossh can fly fly over opponents defenses and smash in for lethal damage with the help of Xenagos, God of Revels or Berserk. There are many cards that help support this go-wide/go-tall strategy like Xenagos, the Reveler and Cryptolith Rite which help build a snowball effect once a wide board get created. Additionally, Parallel Lives and Endrek Sahr, Master Breeder increase the amount of token creatures available for deployment. Other payoffs will be discussed further down.

The more subtle way this deck achieves victory is through combos. These are enabled by Prossh's increasing token production upon being cast. The most famous one is Prossh + Food Chain in which you exile Prossh and two additional tokens for each time he has already been cast to create infinite tokens (which can be turned into mana via the enchantment) and etbs or ltb triggers. Just throw a payoff into the mix--like the above mentioned etb damage dealers, a classic aristocrats life drainer like Zulaport Cutthroat, or a card draw engine like Smothering Abomination--and you'll find yourself with a victory. Other two card substitutes for Food Chain include any combination of Ashnod's Altar, Phyrexian Altar, and Pitiless Plunderer.

The most fun aspect of this deck is the variety and explosiveness of the different win capabilities and the synergies between them all. It can be a very fun and exciting deck to pilot that packs in some power.
