Description
{"ops":[{"insert":"I was looking for a commander to build around Venture Into the Dungeon and especially You Take the Initiative, because I haven't played much with either and want to understand them better.

"},{"insert":{"card-link":"Yarok, the Desecrated"}},{"insert":" was the clear pick, then!

I haven't looked at their linked decklist; I'm sure my Yarok deck would have been significantly different (mostly because I can't NOT commit to the theme harder than is reasonable) but I went back to the drawing board to look for another commander with a ton of decks but almost no decks around the dungeons. I found "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Atraxa, Grand Unifier"}},{"insert":". She covers Yarok's colors and adds white, so the pool of cards is extremely deep, and a flicker subtheme will go a long way toward speedrunning dungeons that little bit faster. Here it is, my latest bad brew of a broken commander: Atraxa, Grand Dungeoneer.\n\nI also brewed this at a time when there was fierce debate about just how good 3-mana rocks with upside really are, so instead of the excellent land ramp being in green enables I built a ramp package of \"oops all manaliths\" as a way to ensure the versatile access to colors this deck requires while also limiting the power ceiling somewhat and getting to make sure I have a clear picture of just how good any one manalith's upside might be.\n"}]}
