Remember to choose a commander that you enjoy playing, focus on a single strategy, include enough mana ramp and interaction, and don’t be afraid to ask for help. This is because utilizing those win conditions, while also costing more mana, open up the possibility for opponents to use removal spells to stop your combo. You also need to draw cards otherwise to enable the combo, which means that an opponent removing Laboratory Maniac or Jace has the same result – you draw from an empty deck and lose. This is a lot easier to break up than Thassa’s Oracle, who is trying to win the game with a triggered ability instead. The synergy between Ziatora and damage-based strategies is undeniable.

Her ability is easy to understand and execute, allowing new players to focus on developing their overall gameplay skills. Additionally, the damage-oriented strategy is both intuitive and rewarding, providing beginners with a clear path to victory through aggressive tactics. While the primary win condition is swarming with a big zombie army, drain effects like Diregraf Captain give the deck reach to close out games. It also enables combo win conditions like Rooftop Storm + Gravecrawler + Carrion Feeder to win the game on the spot. Eventually we win the game with an army of illusions from Minn and her copies Irenicus’s Vile Duplication / Spark Double, having 13 cards in hand with Triskaidekaphile, or draining opponents with Psychosis Crawler.

Also the deck is obviously vulnerable to graveyard hate but you can sort of get around that by not grabbing all your spirits if you 100% know there’s graveyard hate coming soon or you just pauper decks straight-up start hardcasting spirits to close things out. The reason why we go with Esior over the more poular Siani, Eye of the Storm is that Esior is a guaranteed turn 2 play that we can cast before casting Eligeth, providing an extra layer of protection for our most important card. Plus it holds equipment like Sword of the Animist and Mask of Memory very well, generating consistent value while we get ready to cast Eligeth. Eligeth, Crossroads Augur & Esior, Wardwing Familiar is a Scry Voltron deck focused on winning with Eligeth, which turns all of our scry cards into straight card draw.

This brew is a budgetized version of my boyfriend’s deck which has a rather disgusting win rate. The deck is well-rounded and not overly-reliant on our commander, though she’s a superb anthem and source of draw in the deck. We’re of course vulnerable to artifact hate but do have the tools to recover from one or two board wipes. It’s a fair combat deck that isn’t super fast but generates consistent value and can have some explosive combat steps. For sacrifice payoffs we’ve got drain with Blood Artist, make ramping sac fodder with Pawn of Ulamog, draw even more cards with Smothering Abomination, and exile the sacrificed creatures to return them later with Prowling Geistcatcher.

Today, I will be covering the Top 10 for Orzhov (Black/White), which is my personal favorite guild. Number 3 on our list is Basalt Monolith and Kinnan, Bonder Prodigy. With this, we can generate infinite mana by tapping Basalt Monolith for 4 mana with Kinnan, and then untapping Monolith for 3. We can eventually generate enough mana that we can play cards like Chromatic Orrery and then activate Kinnan an infinite number of times. By understanding the robust features and thoughtful design elements of the Tt eSports Commander LED Gaming Keyboard and Mouse Combo, gamers can truly appreciate the level of craftsmanship and innovation that goes into this gaming peripheral.

Usually you don’t, and that means you need to wait for the right time to use your combo, which is more fun to me, personally. Whether you’re like me in that respect or whether you prefer to wrap things up on turn three so you and your friends can get in lots of reps, Grixis has combos to make your deck way more nasty, way more consistent, and way, way more fun. Building the best Commander deck for beginners can be a challenging but rewarding experience. By following the tips and advice in this article, you can create a deck that is both powerful and fun to play.

I love this combo and am excited to hopefully bring it to more players’ attention here. This causes your life total to be unable to change for the turn. Cast Sun Titan and use it’s ability to return Animate Dead from the graveyard. With these features and a slick new design, Commander Spellbook now provides a uniquely powerful search engine for Timmies, Spikes, and Johnnies alike. To perform this combo, you first need to resolve Thassa’s Oracle.

This allows you to play an extra land each turn as long as Soul of Windgrace attacks. Soul of Windgrace’s abilities also have combo potential with cards like Bone MiserBone Miser, Dakmor SalvageDakmor Salvage and Surly BadgersaurSurly Badgersaur. Adding an ability cost reducer like Agatha of the Vile CauldronAgatha of the Vile Cauldron helps to make comboing even easier and cheaper. As a quick note, some astute EDH players may be confused as to why Ad Nauseum is not specifically mentioned on this list. Generally, Ad Nauseum is not a death combo within itself, but is instead a way to draw a concerning amount of cards for five mana in Commander. If this card resolves at a high-power table, the game is generally over, but Ad Nauseum itself is not the card literally ending the game.

Infinite Damage

To deal lethal damage we’re going to be casting / tutoring auras like Ethereal Armor, Battle Mastery, Sage’s Reverie, and Empyrial Armor to pump Light-Paws into a real slapper. Once we’ve collected a nice golem army, it’s time to win with cards like Aurelia, the Warleader, Adriana, Captain of the Guard, Blade Historian, and Lorehold Command. Once Evra is on the battlefield, we give it evasion through protection like Faith’s Shield and Emerge Unscathed or by equipment like Chariot of Victory and Whispersilk Cloak to start taking out opponents. This is not a Lifegain deck or a Lifeswap deck, this is a 100% committed Voltron list and every single card has been selected with the goal of killing with Evra as efficiently and consistently as possible. Once we have a decent-sized army we can start chaining extra turn spells like Notorious Throng and Karn’s Temporal Sundering or pump our team for lethal with Scale Up and Biomass Mutation. Cast Sickening Dreams and discard cards equal to the highest opposing life total.

Karn, the Great Creator and Mycosynth Lattice creates a board state where your opponents cannot activate any cards, including lands. The only way that they can get out of this is if they have enough creatures to kill you. In the realm of Commander, Ziatora, the Incinerator emerges as a formidable force, particularly in decks tailored for beginners. As a damage-oriented commander, Ziatora excels in leading aggressive strategies that aim to overwhelm opponents with an onslaught of powerful creatures and burn spells. Her unique ability to grant haste to your creatures upon entering the battlefield makes her a potent threat right from the start of the game.

Ethan has been an avid EDH player since 2014 with the release of Core Set 2015. In 2021, he joined the Commander Spellbook project as an editor, and later a head-editor and moderator, and has assisted in the curation, updating and/or uploading of over 10,000 unique EDH combos. In his spare time, Ethan loves coming up with new jank EDH lines, playing video games, and going for long walks.

Since we have so many 3C spells, support spells like Omnath, Locus of All and Meeting of the Five are tremendous value here, along with treasure generation from Widespread Thieving and repeat burn with Mana Cannons. And to make sure our commander both doesn’t die and can slip past blockers we’re running auras like Unquestioned Authority, Shield of Duty and Reason, Robe of Stars, and Timely Ward. And we of course benefit from all this forced mayhem with cards like Karazikar, the Eye Tyrant, Death Kiss, Curse of Opulence, and Curse of Disturbance. We’re going to use auras that pump Bruna into 1-shot territory like Battle Mastery, Auramancer’s Guise, and All That Glitters. Spend three of your colorless mana to activate Eldrazi Displacer again and repeated the process. When Leonin Relic-Warder enters the battlefield use its ability to exile Animate Dead.
