If you came to look at a fun deck, sorry to disappoint. This is not a fun commander deck, don't expect anything kind or casual.

Like seriously, this ain't something I take out to play a lot. I mostly play it at Competition level pods.

Stax is a term based around the card Smokestack , an artifact that makes players sacrifice permanents for each soot counter on it. The goal of playing it is to ruin friendships whilst weaning your opponents off their resources. While the deck does not run that card, it does run other cards that achieve similar results.

No this is not a casual edh tactic. I might as well be casting Armageddon for fudge's sake.

Yes I would run that card if I could, but I can't have everything I guess. I've been banned for playing Mld decks at my store, so I have to settle for Stax instead. Sorry not sorry.

So the basic premise of this deck is to slam stax pieces and slow down opponents' rolls while ramping into enough Mana to overcome global effects. I get around the downside of my lock pieces by untapping my various permanents with Teferi, Temporal Archmage so I can continue to move on with my plans to alienate myself among the group.

Win condition consists of using teferi, Mana rocks, and The Chain Veil . Using the chain veil's activated ability changes the rules of Planeswalker activations for the duration of the turn, meaning I can arbitrarily add additional Planeswalker activations each time I activate that ability. This combos with teferi's -1 ability, which I can then use to get arbitrarily large amounts of mana, and then arbitrarily large amounts of card draw off his +1 ability. Effectively with both in play (and enough Mana) I can draw and play my entire deck.

Demonstrating this combo is awkward and complicated, since one needs to take into account their Mana, the commander tax, and the amount of times one can activate Planeswalker abilities before going through the chainveil loop and restarting the process.

I might as well be playing storm at that rate, Through a static orb mind you. It's quite spicy.

There are counter spells, and there are other hate cards. Torpor Orb is a champion card in commander. Everyone should run it :)

There are a few other loops in the deck, some involving Paradox Engine , others involving Tidespout Tyrant . These can be achieved without my commander.

Questions, comments and suggestions appreciated! If you think I'm trash and need to take this deck apart, then feel free to say that as well. Believe it or not I hate blue as a color, and wish to be reminded of my mistakes.
