Working on my first Commander deck! Ive been checking out a ton of Xyris deck-lists and I'm very aware of why some cards are more necessary for wins, but for now I'm just looking to take this in my own direction. Some cheap pump, ETB effects, and lots of draw power. Ill likely morph it into a more optimal list down the line at the risk of becoming the arch enemy in every pod I potentially join, but for now i enjoy the bullhead strategy :)

Main strategy is to swing with Xyris every turn, ideally with a pump spell/Ability. Spawn tons of tokens for ETB effects whether its Dealing massive damage to everyone, placing tons of counters on xyris or other un-blockables, spawn in as very large snakes with a pumped Biomancer, or simply use as fodder to tap/sac those tokens for other value like extra mana, or direct damage!

If the snake spawns entering the battlefield dont immediately take the pod out, swap strategy to the un-blockables to pump up and sweep an opponent or 2 if xyris is not allowed to make it to their attack step.

The deck is very far from optimal but it has everything I like in a Deck, and through play-testing I'm sure I'll narrow the strategy into a more linear direction like an all wheel effects or a more rounded out removal/denial spell-slinger. For now it's more of a simple Aggro deck attempting the same play every turn with very little brain power :) -WHO WANTS SOME CARDS-

Sideboard is to be ignored and is constantly updated as I learn more about cards that I feel i like, but cant figure out what to swap them in with :)
