Commander (1)

---

An EDH deck with Kaseto, Orochi Archmage as the commander. Aims to use infect as the primary win condition, with Kaseto himself being the backup.

Started out as a snake tribal deck that aimed to always be able to deal combat damage and draw with Curiosity like affects. I realized that Kaseto, Orochi Archmage was very good at making things hit and that Blight Mamba was the m.v.p. of the deck. This quickly led me drop all the snake tribal elements and push towards a straight infect deck.

The main strategy is obviously swinging with an infect creature, Glistener Elf, and then pumping with cheap spells, Invigorate + Mutagenic Growth , and ensuring the hit with Kaseto's ability. There's a hefty amount of Counterspell to keep me alive backed up with some land fetch and card draw to keep me rolling.

I added in some creature type altering like Imagecrafter + Unnatural Selection to take advantage of Kaseto's snake specific +2/+2 pump but tried to keep it on the cheap side of mana-costs.

Finally all of these pump spells, counter spells, mana-ramp, card draw, and Kasetos cheap casting cost make him a wonderful voltron back up.

Any suggestions are welcome! Please comment and thanks for checking out the deck.
