Primer no longer valid, updating the deck from quite awhile ago to the new Wayta, Trainer Prodigy

What Is This?

This is something I've wanted to do since Stuffy Doll. A deck based around what is now called enrage or "whenever this card is dealt damage do Y" effects. The strategy is pretty simple play enragers, play activators, protect them, profit. I know I'm simplifying it... But what you want to do with this is hurt your own creatures because they are all masochists that deserve punishment and reward the sadist in you when you do.

Why Marath? Why {R}{G}{W}?

Marath, Will of the Wild was chosen after much consideration due to being one of the few legendaries able to actually interact with the strategy I'm using and give me as many colors as possible. Marath acts as an activator that sits in the command zone so I have one less part of the deck to find.

Originally I was looking at all five colors but {U} has very little in the way of useful stuff for enrage creatures and {B} while very useful was simply one color too many for consistency. I need/want the three remaining colors, {R}{G}{W}, because they have most of the enrage creatures and {W} provides the best access to indestructible and access to reanimation effects as a back up. Saskia the Unyielding is worth considering if you want {B} but she doesn't directly interact with the deck. Ravos, Soultender is also worth thinking about due to the reanimation on him but Tana, the Bloodsower has no real use in the deck.

Options for enrage effects diminish drastically without {G} so I consider it the must have color. {R} provides all the activation methods you could ever want with burn and {W} protects and returns. So this is the color combination I would most suggest for building around enrage.

Every Enrage Ever

Well all the ones worth talking about anyways as according to me...

Not all of these are worth playing in commander due to having too small an effect but all of them are worth consideration because of how they can interact with some of the combos available to us. Some of these will be off color from Marath, Will of the Wild so that you will be aware of other options.

Counters-

Bellowing Aegisaur, Snapping Sailback, Fungus Sliver, Fungusaur, Rite of Passage, Siegehorn Ceratops

Tokens-

Raptor Hatchling, Broodhatch Nantuko, Druid's Call, Hornet Nest, Saber Ants, Sprouting Phytohydra, Overgrown Armasaur, Polyraptor

Ravenous Daggertooth, Dromad Purebred, Kami of the Honored Dead, Soul Link, Wall of Hope, Imperial Ceratops

Other-

Ranging Raptors, Ripjaw Raptor, Deep-Slumber Titan, High Priest of Penance, Illusory Ambusher, Wall of Resistance, Trapjaw Tyrant, Silverclad Ferocidons, Cacophodon

Best Activators For Enrage

First an activator in this is a card which does damage to creatures. I hope that was obvious but just in case it wasn't now you know. I find the best activators are cards which do 1 damage to all creatures. Fight is also a good mechanic to include. Some of my favorites will be below

Earthquakes-

Wojek Embermage, Ashling the Pilgrim, Caldera Hellion, Devastating Dreams, Harbinger of the Hunt, Sorrow's Path, Splintering Wind, Wave of Reckoning, Blasphemous Act, Chandra, Flamecaller, Chandra's Ignition, Earthquake, Huatli, Warrior Poet, Star of Extinction, Forerunner of the Empire

Fighty-

Arena, Domri Rade, Gruul Ragebeast, Ulvenwald Tracker

Single Target-

Nahiri's Machinations, Staff of Nin, Ulasht, the Hate Seed, Warstorm Surge, Inferno Titan

En-Kor-

Shaman en-Kor, Lancers en-Kor, Nomads en-Kor, Outrider en-Kor, Spirit en-Kor, Warrior en-Kor

Other-

Guilty Conscience, Pariah, Pariah's Shield

I want to point out that Nahiri's Machinations can do double duty by protecting and activating Enrage, sadly at different times.

Protection

We are hurting our own creatures for advantage but if we want to get much out of them we need to also protect them. Some enragers do this by adding +1/+1 counters like Rite of Passage. This won't always be enough.

Indestructible is perhaps the best way to abuse enrage followed by reanimation.

Indestructible-

Archangel Avacyn  , Avacyn, Angel of Hope, Darksteel Plate, Eldrazi Monument, Frontline Medic, Odric, Lunarch Marshal, Soul of New Phyrexia

Reanimation-

Verdant Confluence, Bishop of Rebirth, Emeria Shepherd, Genesis, Sun Titan

Temple Altisaur is damage prevention for Dinos only but could still work for us.

Manaz

With 3 colors the mana base can be a little tricky in any competitive to mid level environment. My own mana base is about as budget as I would make a 3 color deck +/- a few things but I play in a pretty casual setting. {G} will fix 90% of mana issues so just toy with it until you get something consistent.

Things like Mirari's Wake and Ranging Raptors will be important. I'd recommend always having green sources in your opening hand.

It is worth noting that Pyrohemia is an awesome mana dump that you will want to be able to pour mana into until you implode. So as I play I'm going to consider ways of getting crazier amounts of mana.

Interactions

This deck has many interactions the simplest of which are 1 enrager + 1 activator. Throw in a protection piece for longevity. But there are some more interesting ones too.

Stuffy Doll + Guilty Conscience = kill chosen player, this is a littler meaner than it might appear as choosing =/= target so you get around shroud and hexproof on the player.

Rite of Passage + Pyrohemia or similar = supersize your creatures and just keep enraging them for each mana you have.
