Mana rocks are typically roleplayers in most commander decks; they help fix mana and accelerate into the deck's actual gameplan. In this deck, mana rocks ARE the gameplan. With Akiri, the more mana rocks you have out the more damage she deals, and with Thrasios, the more mana rocks you have the more mana you have to activate his ability, drawing into yet more mana rocks and other goodies. It's a symbiotic relationship that leads to big mana and cards from Thrasios and big damage from Akiri.

Most of the gameplan of the deck is self-explanatory: ramp out quickly with cheap mana rocks, land Akiri early and start hitting for big chunks. There's plenty of good equipment in the deck to make Akiri hard to block and huge, and ways to protect her from removal. Once you're out of cards in hand, start activating Thrasios and draw more artifacts and other cards to help eliminate your opponents. Do your utmost to protect your board of artifacts; losing Akiri and Thrasios, even repeatedly, in not a big deal as they are super cheap to cast and recast even with Commander Tax, but if you lose all your mana to an Austere Command when your spent your Heroic Intervention to stop a simple Wrath of God , you're gonna have a bad time.

There's a couple notable cards and combinations that bear mention:

• Bludgeon Brawl turns all your mana rocks into Bonesplitter s, and Armory Automaton can equip all of them (as well as your opponent's) for free! Akiri is all about maximizing artifact for big attacks, and Bludgeon Brawl lets you double-dip on all those sweet signets. Not to mention if you get Puresteel Paladin out first, all those mana rocks now cantrip!

• Godo, Bandit Warlord lets you grab Lightning Greaves or some other strong equipment, and that's great. But the real power of this card is its second ability, which grants you an extra combat step. Normally you can only give that benefit to samurais as well as Godo himself, but Akiri having vigilance means she can come along with Godo for both combat steps!

• Thrasios and Akiri make a good pair, but they pair up especially well with Storm the Vault  . This card's wording is such that hitting multiple opponents with the same combat step, or even the same opponent in the same combat step at differing times will give you a treasure for each creature hitting. If two opponents are open, attacking each of them with your partners will get you two treasures, but if only one opponent is open, you'll still get two treasures as Akiri's first strike and Thrasios' regular strike will trigger Storm the Vaults twice in total. More treasures = bigger Akiri, more mana from treasure/a flipped Storm the Vaults = more cards from Thrasios. Yay.
