When I first saw Gonti's Aether Heart, it was love at first sight. So it got me thinking, how can i use this card in commander.

The answer of course was, you dont, its not a good card. Unless your commander is Brago, King Eternal.

The game plan is, control the early/mid game with counters, enchants, boardclears. Tutor your combos with recursive Trinket Mage and Trophy Mage.Keep card advantage with blinking card draw, and protect your King with hexproof.

Strionic Resonator + any 2 mana or more artifact = infinite blinks/trigger. Classic.Even if you dont have Strionic on the board, you can win the late game with 3 artifacts + Prototype Portal exiling Gonti's Aether Heart for infinite turns if Brago gets a hit.

This is the first iteration of the deck, its missing several staples like Supreme Verdict, Reveillark, and lots more, like the more expensive (yet effective) cards like Venser, Shaper Savant, Karn Liberated, Grim Monolith, etc.

This deck would work much better with the classic stax artifacts and enchants, but you know, stax.

Its a nice budget twist on the old blinking King. Let me know what you think!
