{"ops":[{"insert":"Designed with minimal card draw for lightning commander, try to empty your hand each turn and redraw three-to-five cards. Everything designed to be cheap to punish counterspell plays. Keep control of the board state with judicious removal, and then combo or win either tall or wide. Multiple threat angles, creature, artifact, spell, lands, make it tough for opponents to prepare for you or know what is important to remove, and the tiny bunnies are no threat until they combo off and win.\n\nLightning commander is a format where you can play two lands a turn and draw up to seven cards (minimum one) in your draw step. If not playing lightning commander, swap the discounting ramp spells for card draw (harvestrite host, idol of oblivion, caretaker's talent). Card advantage comes from emptying your hand each turn. And if you have infinite budget, it's time for moxen.\n\nIf playing lightning prioritize:\n(1) Threat removal\n(2) Discounts\n(3) Emptying hand\n(4) Setup for combos\n\nYou'll then be a big about-to-win threat, earliest turn 3, latest turn 6. Can't compete with extremely fast combo decks, but we hope the table helps to mitegate runaway combo decks.\n\nThere are several slower combos in this deck. Two infinite three-card combos involving Preston (commander). \n(1) Felidar guardian (CMC=4) + Preston + blink\n(2) Wispweaver angel (CMC=6) + Preston + blink\n\nIf you blink either one when Preston is on the field you make a copy which enters at the same time as the original. This puts two blink triggers on the stack. Use one of the blink triggers to blink the original real card, which adds another copy, and two more blink triggers. Every round you add one more creature and one more blink trigger. If someone tries to end your loop, you can restart it again with a single blink spell. Once you have enough blink triggers on the stack, you can also use them on your hare apparants to get oh so very many bunnies. And you can, on top, use phyrexian altar to sacrifice illusions at instant speed with Preston, to asymmetric board wipe before you swing in. Since Preston has to be on the field here, this is pretty much only possible on turn 5 of regular commander, or possibly turn 3 of lightning commander if all goes perfectly.\n\nBut you also have many ways to win. Deck out all opponents with altar of the brood, suprize attack with end-of-turn blinking to make a huge army (or using crashing drawbridge with lightning greaves). Alternatively make your single tall creature unblockable and swing in for lethal.\n\nThere is a minor protection package, but because your cards are so very cheap, and you redraw so many in lightning, you probably don't need to protect all that much until you are about to combo off. You probably only need to protect crashing drawbridge, and maybe Preston, or whoever is equipped with mirror mind crown.\n\nThe Valkyries call and Luminous broodmoth here do triple duty. They protect you from certain board wipes, they bring your creatures back in a way that triggers Preston, and they add flying counters. They also can both work together, also with cosmic intervention.\n\nIdeal starting hand has three+ lands, one+ hare apparants, a discount artifact, and everything else very low cost cards (one mana). You don't need to cast Preston until you actually are ready to blink something, similarly you can wait to cast hare apparent until you already have discounts in play.\n\nRemember in Lightning commander, there's no big advantage to keeping removal in hand, since you can get more fresh next round, so just throw your cards out there.\n\nAnd since you draw up to seven (in lightning commander), you can without much penalty (in lightning commander) mulligan up to three times to find your three-land hand, which gives you upwards of 90% chance to find that hand. Downside is this also is correct for other players who can find their combo pieces or tutors if they are running a combo deck.\n\nFollowing your three land opening hand, you'll ideally be at 5+ lands (>70%) and one discount card (>75%) at turn 3, at that point you are fully online.\n\nIn case you get behind on lands, land tax and tithe are very powerful in lightning commander, since your opponents will be playing two lands, you almost always can manipulate a trigger from tithe or land tax.\n\nThe discount artifacts all have different options/uses, meaning when you cast them you can be sure to get value depending what you choose. Obviously creature discount is the most useful in this deck, but if you already have that, artefact discount is a great choice. And if you have a lot of artefacts in hand, choosing artefact discount immediately is not a bad idea either.\n"}]}
