Prismaweasel 4 months{"ops":[{"insert":"I've been running Rocco, Street Chef for quite some time, and always thought it'd be funny to come up with a Stax version.\n\nThe whole point is to try and force your opponents to play cards from exile using Uba Mask, Urabrask, and other cards that don't rhyme as well. Then, if you just happen to get Drannith Magistrate out (which isn't particularly difficult due to the number of creature tutors), you can prevent players from drawing or playing any cards at all! Isn't that fun? :D\n\nI call this deck \"Mandatory Service.\" https://archidekt.com/decks/9082368/mandatory_service\n"}]}

jdurst 4 months{"ops":[{"insert":"We're pushing the limits of how our opponents can interact with our wincon -- https://archidekt.com/decks/6547730/infinite_tree_guy_\n\nOur goal is to go infinite, and we have enough lines that we can almost stumble into it accidentally. This combo deck requires a silly amount of pieces to pop off deterministically, but we have several veil effects to protect our combos. More importantly, once our last piece hits the board, there isn't a real opportunity to interact. Morphing doesn't use the stack and can play through a Split Second spell on the stack. Our Altars are mana abilities that Sacrifice our creatures as a cost, making the combo more difficult to interact with. Our most vulnerable card when the board is assembled is our commander! The rest we can sacrifice at instant speed to attempt to keep the combo running or to generate enough mana to recast a threatened commander prior to continuing our combo. We run a lot of protection for our commander to enable us to play through interaction. Our deck is also loaded with tutors to help assemble our combo, and we run several fetches to thin out our deck.\n\nThe morph interaction that allows us to go infinite generally needs explained, so a lot of players haven't gotten to experience a deck like this. It's about as fun for your opponents as explaining deathtouch+trample(+ against indestructible) interactions!\n\nFor good measure, we run Defense Grid and Hall of Gemstone. With the popularity of multi-color decks in Commander, Hall of Gemstone can completely shut down some decks on its own while you assemble your combo. This is a card that most people won't be familiar with, but we get immense value out of it. Reminding your opponents to choose a color before they get to draw gets aggravating pretty quick :). \n\nYavimaya, Cradle of Growth and Living Land combine to threaten "},{"attributes":{"italic":true},"insert":"everyones"},{"insert":" land-base if a board wipe is presented. Luckily, if our commander is on the board, our lands and creatures will return to the battlefield as Forests! If an opponent board wipes, everyone but us loses creatures "},{"attributes":{"bold":true},"insert":"and lands!"},{"insert":"\n\nLiving Land also supports the rest of our deck -- if we sacrifice a Forest while we have our Commander and Living Land on board, it will enter the battlefield untapped and triggering landfall!\n\nThis one is definitely reserved for an occasional higher power game (they're my friends after all, I don't want them to hate me for longer than the game lasts!). Unfortunately there are too many interactions in this deck for me to cover them all, but give it a look! It's one of my absolute favorite decks to pilot!\n\n\n\n\n"}]}

In true Nicol Bolas fashion this deck includes many spells which change ownership of permanents. The aim of this deck is to ramp out into cards like a flipped Nicol Bolas, the Ravager with something like Descent into Avernus. Then taking important pieces of opponents boards to generate value or swing for the win. Other cards included as alternate win cons are board wipes and mass reanimation. Overall, this deck was made as the most salty deck that I have made. Hope you enjoy.\n"}]}
