Description

{"ops":[{"insert":"Do you ever find yourself getting bored waiting to cast your big creatures until the end of the game? Do you dislike it when cards you play have consequences attached to them? Have you ever wanted to play Time Walk in EDH? If so, Obeka, Brute Chronologist might be the commander for you. The plan of this deck is simple: cheat at magic by bending the rules in your favor. This deck contains many cards balanced around having a negative effect on your end step, but with the power of Obeka's ability, we can ignore these effects entirely. This gives us access to many ways of cheating big creatures into play, both from our hand and from the graveyard, as well as ways to create more copies of these creatures to overwhelm the board. Obeka also allows us to make use of new forms removal, card draw, and even extra turns by removing downsides that would otherwise make the cards unplayable. This is an incredibly fun deck to both build and play, so I would highly recommend it to anyone willing to try out a more obscure commander strategy.\n\nBefore I dive into how the deck is played, I want to clear up how Obeka works since there is a lot of confusion surrounding her ability. If you ever find yourself unsure of whether or not Obeka interacts with a card in a specific way, you should always check her reminder text. First off, it is possible to use Obeka to simply skip over phases of your turn, like if you want to end your turn before combat so one of your goaded creatures doesn't attack, but there is much more utility that can be found by understanding what it means to end the turn. A common misconseption is that Obeka can prevent effects that say \"until end of turn\" from ending. This is not true, and in fact the card itself says that by choosing to end the turn, \"until end of turn effects end\". This means if you play a card that gains control of a creature until end of turn, after Obeka's ability resolves, you must give the creature back to its original controller. This is where Obeka can be confusing, because whether or not a card interacts positively with her ability is actually dependent on specific wording. If a card says \"until end of turn\", that means an ability is state-based, and therefore doesn't go on the stack at any point. Instead, it is a continuous effect that constantly checks whether or not it is currently your turn, and if your turn is over, the effect ends. So what does Obeka actually do? If we read more into the reminder text, there is a very important line stating \"exile all spells and abilities from the stack\". This is the ability that the deck is built around, because it allows us to use Obeka to eliminate any ability triggers we don't like. There are two specific wordings to look for on cards so that we know Obeka can interact with them: \"on your end step\" and \"at end of turn\". These mean basically the same thing: once we move to our end step, this card will put an ability trigger on the stack. Once one or more abilities have been put on the stack, we can respond to them by activating Obeka's ability to end the turn, putting it on the stack above everything else. Then, once Obeka's ability resolves, the turn will end, and any triggers still on the stack will be exiled and will never come back. It can be very important to specify that this is your intent when tapping Obeka, because skipping your end step entirely will yield a different result. The end step triggers won't happen this turn, but they may happen on your next turn, or even on an opponent's turn. If you ever find yourself at a table full of rules lawyers, it is always important to specify that your are responding to triggers on your end step by activating Obeka to end your turn and exile them.\n\nThis deck was built to function as a reanimator deck with many other tricks at its disposal. The best place for your big scary creatures to be is in the graveyard, because reanimator spells are the easiest way to get them on the battlefield. The deck contains many ways to discard cards from your hand, such as Faithless Looting and Windfall, as well as ways to tutor cards into your graveyard, such as Entomb and Corpse Connoisseur. Every reanimate spell in the deck interacts with Obeka's ability, with the exception of Reanimate itself. Cards such as Goryo's Vengeance and Feldon of the Third Path allow for very mana efficient reanimation of huge creatures, and with Obeka, you can keep those creatures around instead of having to sacrifice or exile them on your end step. Obeka works very well with unearth, so Sedris, the Traitor King is a very powerful engine for the deck, allowing us to get any creature out of our graveyard for 3 mana. In addition to the graveyard, Obeka lets us cheat out creatures from our hand with cards such as Sneak Attack, and Purphoros, Bronze Blooded. Because these cards were designed to cheat out creatures for a single turn only, they also grant the creatures haste, allowing us to immediately put pressure on opponents the turn these creatures come down, and with Obeka, they will stay on the battlefield, forcing oppenents to find an answer to them. With all these massive creatures at our disposal, we can use cards such as Jaxis, the Troublemaker and Mirror March to make token copies of them and overwhelm our opponents.\n\nThe big scary creatures you choose to put in the deck are completely up to you, although Etali, Primal Storm is always required. In this decklist, I tried to include creatures that fill a wide variety of uses, such as Consecrated Sphinx for card draw, Noxious Gearhulk to eliminate large creatures and provide some lifegain, Agent of Treachery to deal with difficult to answer permanents, and Massacre Wurm to make aggro decks really sad. Hellkite Courser has an interesting interaction with Obeka that allows you put her onto the battlefield with haste and exile the trigger to put her back in the command zone on your end step, which is a good way to avoid commander tax. Some creatures such as Ancient Bronze Dragon and Sheoldred, Whispering One allow you to reanimate even more creatures for free, but I would advise playing Sheoldred with extreme caution as she can cause you to become the enemy of the table very fast. I included other options for creatures I considered in the maybeboard, but always make sure to have a rule zero discussion with your table because Grixis has access to some very toxic creatures.\n\nWhile Obeka is a difficult commander to understand, playing the deck itself can be very challenging. There are many moving parts that need to work in unison for the deck to pull off explosive turns. The best way to make sure the deck performs well, or even performs at all, is to have a good opening hand. Don't be afraid to mulligan down to 5 cards, because doing so gives you more chances of having all the necessary components of the deck. The two main things you want in your hand are big creatures, and ways to put them on the battlefield early. If you have a reanimator spell, you are also going to need a way to get creatures into the graveyard. It's rare that you will have everything you need in your opening hand, but just having most of the necessary cards will work fine. And as this is EDH, it's important to have ramp in your opening hand to keep up on mana as well. Sometimes, just having an early way to draw cards is enough to make a hand good enough to keep. Bounce lands can help if you're short on lands, but you can also negate their ability with Obeka if you're looking for ramp. If everything goes right, you can get out several early threats and get very ahead on board. Using countermagic is a good way to protect your board, but the best way to push for a win is to make use of extra turn spells, such as Alchemist's Gambit and Warrior's Oath. These spells would cause us to lose the game on our end step, but Obeka lets us ignore that downside, letting us basically run multiple copies of Time Walk.\n\nThis deck is capable of making very powerful plays, but it does have some major weaknesses. As mentioned before, this is a very difficult deck to mulligan, and sometimes a bad opening hand can cost you the game. The deck is also very slow, making it very weak to aggro decks and some very optimized combo decks. The deck typically won't get up and running until turn 5 or later, and there's not much it can do before that other than ramp. But easily the largest weakness is the dependence of the commander. If Obeka isn't on the battlefield or you can't activate her ability, you are forced to endure the negative effects of your own cards. It is very important to protect Obeka using cards like Swiftfoot Boots and Lightning Greaves, which both protect her against targeted removal and let her tap the turn she hits the battlefield. The deck also includes Sundial of the Infinite which functions as a backup Obeka with the same ability. You can use Mimic Vat as a way to protect Obeka by imprinting her in it if you don't think your opponents have artifact removal, but this can be risky. It's important to have a way to protect Obeka, because if your opponents understand that she's required for your deck to function, they will likely remove her, putting you very far behind. Be very careful when casting your extra turn spells, because a well timed removal spell could cost you the game.\n\nThis deck isn't build to be competitive or optimized, and it's gameplan is definitely janky, but it's a lot of fun to play and is capable of some very powerful turns. Obeka is a very interesting commander to build, and there's plenty of other mechanics such as encore and myriad that work very well in the deck. Many Obeka decks seem to run a graveyard theft package that I decided to cut because it felt too unreliable, but I'm sure there are ways to build the deck that can better support it. I like the current list I have because it has a lot of power and a lot of very interesting card interactions, but it is definitely still subject to changes both as new cards are released and as I continue to play the deck. The maybeboard contains cards that didn't quite make the cut for my final list, but I think work really well in the deck. If you're planning to use this deck as a start for your own Obeka deck, I'd definitely check it out.\n"}]}
