Introduction:

This deck is a combo-control deck made for a semi-competitive meta. Any card suggested should be less than $15.

The Primer:

BUG is one of the best colors for combo, mainly because it gives tutors, some easy infinite combos, ramp, and control to protect the combo.

I chose Tasigur, the Golden Fang because of his delve ability. the ability to delve away commander cost is amazing, and he has a relevant ability of digging toward my combo. However, he will probably be changed for Damia, Sage of Stone at some point because of the draw.

The Strategy:

There are two ways to win with this deck. First, you can just play a game of battlecruser magic using the big spells like Karn Liberated and gin-gitaxias, core augur or you can play combo-control with the three combos in the deck. Having two different strategies makes this deck able to play a more casual game or semi-competitive.

This is the main way to win with this deck in a semi-competitive/competitive playgroup. The three combos that are used to win are:

  1. Deadeye Navigator + Palinchron This is the easiest combo to pull of and the one you will usually play.
  2. Mikaeus, the Unhallowed + Triskelion This is the backup combo in case palinchron or deadeye navigator is exiled. Use this if either die or you happen to have one in your hand.
  3. Bloodchief Ascension + Mindcrank I have never actually used this and it's probably going to get cut.

Usually you want to play these combos after large amounts of ramp with a counter spell or 2 in hand with mana to play it all in one turn and win on that turn.

So if you got the Palinchron combo going you need something to do with that mana. That's where Tasigur, the Golden Fang comes in. You can use his ability to draw your entire deck except for lands, which are all in the graveyard, and cast Blue Sun's Zenith for 101 on one opponent. Then, use Tasigur, the Golden Fang to get Blue Sun's Zenith out of your library and make each opponent draw their entire deck + 1.

Cards going into the deck:

There are a lot of upgrades I'm thinking about to make this deck better. Chief among them is Tooth and Nail and Phantasmal Image and many, many tutors. Any help in naming cards that are good for this deck would be helpful, but make sure each card is less than $15 so I can actually use them.
