Charizard's Shahrazad

Commander / EDH*

AnthonyW25


EDIT: with the Companion errata, this no longer works.

For clarity, this is just a cheerful thought experiment.

In order for this deck to work, we break two minor rules. Shahrazad is now legal, my orders. Second, either your commander doesn't have to follow Companion deck-building rules, or there's a magical imaginary Legendary Creature with five-colour identity and a clause saying that Companion deck-building restrictions don't apply to it. I consider the second the most likely.

You also need to know that in each sub-game, you can declare a new Companion.

So here's how the deck works:

There are hella piles of tutors to fetch anything and everything you need. There's also quite some redundancy.

Create infinite mana, probably with Devoted Druid and Vizier of Remedies. It's helped with Purphoros, Bronze-Blooded.

Get a Leyline of Anticipation on the battlefield, so you can do everything at instant speed. Alchemist's Refuge also works.

Cast Shahrazad, and then infinitely copy it with Nivix Guildmage.

Use Riftsweeper and Pull from Eternity to pull everything out of exile, with Archaeomancer and/or Capsize to recast them.

Elixir of Immortality shuffles everything from your graveyard into your library.

Azure Mage can draw your whole deck.

Wheel of Sun and Moon, enchanting yourself, along with a discard outlet such as Fae of Wishes, can get a precise and specific set of cards in your library.

Now here's where the fun starts. For every companion that is EDH viable - Gyruda, Doom of Depths, Jegantha, the Wellspring, Kaheera, the Orphanguard, Keruga, the Macrosage, Lurrus of the Dream-Den, Obosh, the Preypiercer, Umori, the Collector, Zirda, the Dawnwaker - there is a pile that wins you the subgame on turn one. This is presuming no interaction from your opponents, but there's only so much magic I can pull off.

Each pile is separated into custom categories, and I suggest you try and work out how each wins. Each is shown beneath individual spoilers, good luck.
