Welcome to Riding Skysharks into EDH! This partner deck is very versatile in being both a combo deck and a beatdown deck. The gameplan boils down to what you get in your opening hand and what you draw into, because this deck has a lot of card draw. And I mean a lot, many draw cards are cheap in cmc that both draw and discard such as Chart a Course and Cathartic Reunion, because both our commanders benefit from these low costing spells. Not to mention we have wheels in the deck such as Magus of the Wheel and Heartwarming Redemption which can help dig deep into our deck as well as hugely benefiting both commanders.

The Shabraz side of the deck is getting really big, really quickly through lots of card draw. Shabraz getting bigger nets us some lifegain to keep us alive a bit longer then normal. Play your cards right and Shabraz can easily 2 shot any opponent of your choosing. Even one shotting someone if you have either Boros Charm or Raking Claws.

The Brallin side of the deck is the combo. In particular with Curiosity, Ophidian Eye or Tandem Lookout. If you can have 8 or more cards in hand at the end of your turn with Brallin and one of the 3 combo pieces, you can do a loop where you discard to hand size which leads to Brallin damaging the table, you draw cards from Brallin's damage, Brallin getting bigger each time (tho not needed if this goes unchecked), which leads to you having to discard again because you "must discard down to hand size". This is what we call the Brallin Dance/Loop, which is a combo that can kill the table if uninterrupted.

I fell in love with these 2 the moment I laid my eyes on them and I knew I had to make a deck with these 2 due to their versatility. Have fun having your shark eat people alive or doing the Brallin Dance to the table!
