This is an exact copy of my deck in real life, as I will try to keep up with any edits done to it.

Deck History & Philosophy

This deck first started way back in 2016 with the Commander 2016's Partners Pair, Bruse Tarl, Boorish Herder & Ikra Shidiqi, the Usurper. The deck heavily revolved around smacking your opponents with a Bruse Tarl, Boorish Herder ability on Ikra Shidiqi, the Usurper gaining me 20 life from just that interaction alone. The deck slowly evolved as i played it over there years adding more lifegain synergies and using my lifetotal as a resource as as new cards kept coming out. The deck also has a subtheme of big butts looking at you Doran, the Siege Tower as a toughness matters deck as well which really fits with Ikra Shidiqi, the Usurper static ability. Most recently in M21's Core Set Vito, Thorn of the Dusk Rose has come out and wow this card has just pushed the power level of the deck so much with its static and activated ability plus it fitting the toughness matters subtheme.

Overall the deck is versatile being an aggro deck, gaining me huge amounts of life each game, and makes it a constant threat at any table. It isn't finely tuned or anything like that anymore i'd give it a solid 7.5/10 maybe close to an 8/10, due to wanting to play it in more casual settings so it wont compete with more competitive or tuned combo decks.

Interchangeables

These are the NOT so casual Interchangeables if your feeling spicy or are up against some higher tuned decks in your meta. I recently changed these out to make the deck more casual friendly for others while keeping the theme of the deck. A lot of these choices are based on Gaddock Teeg being the heavy lifter for this version of the build and its the leaner more streamlined version of the build.
