This deck has officially been disassembled in real life and I am no longer interested in updating it. However I'm leaving it up here for posterity, so enjoy.

Playing this deck was super fun.

There are many combos and different paths to victory so games are usually quite different from each other. We can win by beating down with a bunch of little utility dorks that have been pumped up overrun style, it can voltron Kraj into an unstoppable kill machine, and it even has instant win potential by generating infinite mana to pump with or using Viral Drake to infect kill. This deck has cards that can generate crazy amounts of mana, and use it to pump up Kraj exponentially and make him unblockable (the most non-infinite pump so far has been a Kraj with power of 1024!).

Inspiration For Deck

When I went to the Kaladesh pre-release I had lots of fun playing with energy counters, so I wanted to build an EDH deck that used the mechanic. Although I really wish we had a commander that specifically used and made energy (I don't count Atraxa because she doesn't use it herself) this deck can still make some use of the energy mechanic. I usually generate some amount each game. Along with the additional energy created from proliferate type effects there's usually enough to use it for something useful each game.

In the end energy became a minor sub theme and eventually was cut. The Experiment absorbed the energy theme and evolved past it. It's not in the deck anymore sadly. Maybe once energy comes back it will be better for Kraj.

Infinite Mana & Other Combos

• Lethal One Shot Voltron = Experiment Kraj + Electrostatic Pummeler / Chameleon Colossus + AEtherling / Morphling / Thornling / Multiform Wonder will usually make a lethal unblockable unstoppable Experiment.

• Infinite mana = Experiment Kraj + Nissa, Vital Force + Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx will give more uses of the powerful land each turn, while also adding 4 devotion. And with a counter on that animated land, just add in a way to untap Kraj for cheap like Pemmin's Aura and you have infinite mana.

• Infinite mana = Experiment Kraj + Vigean Graftmage / Pemmin's Aura / Morphling + Selvala, Heart of the Wilds

• Infinite mana, creature pumps, and creature untaps = Umbral Mantle + any creature that taps for or more

• Infinite creature and artifact untaps and also infinite mana along with one that provides mana = Aphetto Alchemist + Illusionist's Bracers

I have an online version that's a tiny bit different also:
