Xenagos, God of Revels EDH

Commander / EDH RG (Gruul)

Aim to ramp up early game, getting Xenagos, God of Revels, out as quickly as possible. In General, 6 or 7 mana is your sweet spot to cast creatures since you recently casted Xenagos at 5 mana. The haste and double up from Xenagos is so powerful, you actually don't care if Xenagos is a real creature. In fact, making Xenagos a creature might work against you as he becomes more susceptible for removal. The deck takes advantage of dealing tons of damage for it's mana cost. Take Hydra Omnivore for example, at 6 mana, he or she can deal 16 damage per player with one swing. Inferno titan deals 18 damage as a 6 drop (without boost), and Hellkite Charger can kill your opponent's 40 life in two turns using Xenagos.

You should try to stay away from getting a lot of 8+ mana creature as they may slow the tempo of your deck. Generally your creatures are going to die and die often, and if not, the game is already over for them.

The weakness of the Xenagos deck are control cards. Having someone take control of your creatures is not going to be fun for you. If you see someone playing control your creatures cards, beat his/her face. Send those creatures at the person. After all if they want your creatures, let them have it! Cards in the deck, Homeward Path, Grab the Reins, Fling, and Greater Good are good against control as you can can sacrifice them before they can get them or re control them. Greater good, I would argue, is the best card in the deck.

Other card combos include Hellkite Charger and Savage Ventmaw. I will let you figure that one out.
