{"ops":[{"insert":"To get this out of the way first; this is not a "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Hinata, Dawn-Crowned"}},{"insert":" deck as much as it is very grindy ETB focused deck that uses Hinata as a bit of extra protection/ramp. Other commanders that provide similar bits of extra value are: "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Narset, Enlightened Exile"}},{"insert":" (main benefit would be stealing from opponent graveyards while denying recursion decks resources), "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Satya, Aetherflux Genius"}},{"insert":" (synergistic with the token creation/extra combat engines), "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Kykar, Wind's Fury"}},{"insert":" (the tokens he creates serve as a bit of ramp and synergize with the ETB burn effects), "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Elsha of the Infinite"}},{"insert":" (provides a bit of card advantage and a nice little flash bonus), "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Arthur, Marigold Knight"}},{"insert":" (his bounce effect would synergize with the ETB effects and act as extra card advantage), "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Cayth, Famed Mechanist"}},{"insert":" (her Fabricate and populate ability synergizes with the token generation of this deck), "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Gandalf of the Secret Fire"}},{"insert":" (gives slightly slow recursion on your instant and sorcery cards while he is out), "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Dynaheir, Invoker Adept"}},{"insert":" (gives the few creatures with activated abilities the ability to activate them the turn you play them.), or "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Sevinne, the Chronoclasm"}},{"insert":" (Useful only as a blocker to prevent combat damage). You could also use "},{"insert":{"card-link":"The War Doctor"}},{"insert":"/"},{"insert":{"card-link":"Adric, Mathematical Genius"}},{"insert":" for the exile synergy and ability copying, or any combination of partner commanders that give you Jeskai. Some of the Partner Commanders that I would most strongly consider are "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Kraum, Ludevic's Opus"}},{"insert":", "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Bruse Tarl, Boorish Herder"}},{"insert":", "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Krark, the Thumbless"}},{"insert":", or "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Sakashima of a Thousand Faces"}},{"insert":".\n\nWith that out of the way, the goal of this deck is repeatedly activating ETB effects. Your main methods of doing so are blink effects (either non-permanent spells like "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Ghostly Flicker"}},{"insert":" or permanent turn after turn ones like "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Thassa, Deep-Dwelling"}},{"insert":") and copy/clone generation (like "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Helm of the Host"}},{"insert":" or "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker"}},{"insert":"). Your ETB effects provide a suite of effects that range from draw, to draw, to removal, and beyond. There are further cards that help with all these things, like "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Teferi's Ageless Insight"}},{"insert":" providing extra draw, "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Purphoros, God of the Forge"}},{"insert":" to make ALL ETBs also burn, and "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Elesh Norn, Mother of Machines"}},{"insert":" to double up all ETB effects. You've also got a bare bones interaction suite, "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Swords to Plowshares"}},{"insert":", "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Counterspell"}},{"insert":", "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Mana Drain"}},{"insert":" etc. to help get you to a point where your control engine is too powerful for anyone else to reasonably stop. \n\nOnce you are reasonably churning through cards and holding advantage, you have a few win conditions you can be working towards. The most basic is just regular combat, getting pieces on the board and preventing your opponents from having them and swinging in with them. The Second win con is burn, getting at least one ETB burn card out and then utilizing your phasing to repeatedly burn with those effects. Then, we get to the more interesting win cons: Combos. There are 12, so I am not going to go into details about all of them, but they are mostly either infinite token generation combos (thus allowing for infinite burn or just getting a board big enough to kill everyone) or creating infinite combats (achieving a similar result. If you'd like the details, feel free to export the deck and import it into Commander Spellbook. If you don't want to include combos, the sideboard should let you swap out some of those combo pieces for either consistency or just a more conservative strategy.\n\nEither way, your final pieces are "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Ulamog, the Infinite Gyre"}},{"insert":" and "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Kozilek, Butcher of Truth"}},{"insert":". While they do have useful cast effects that work with the rest of the deck, their main purpose is to make sure you never lose to deck out, and can keep pulling the same threats back out again and again.\n"}]}
