Azusa's Menagerie

Commander / EDH

CodaPDX


A very simple deck: acceleration and huge threats. Almost unstoppable once it gets going, the only real chance a table has against it is to either combo out or deal lethal damage in the first ten turns - otherwise, an endless stream of eldrazi, tokens, and massive green fatties are going to quickly overwhelm everyone's defenses.

A note on card selection: This is a non-comboriffic version of Azusa that just uses her to drop a couple extra lands on turn 2 or 3 or whenever you draw a bunch of cards. I'm well aware of the Aluren/Cloudstone Curio shenanigans that are possible. In a non-combo build, I've also found it's more important to reliably get to 6 mana by turn 4 than it is to get to 3 mana on turn 2, so I've eschewed a lot of the usual suspects like Burgeoning and Exploration in favor of slower, but more powerful ramp spells.

It's the closest thing I've ever built to a combo deck - I almost feel a little dirty when I bring it out to play.
