Food Chain Tazri ETB Combo ($800)

Commander / EDH

CRUNCDAT


Alright Freya, we're going to explore your love of five colour in a somewhat janky, unconventional shell 😂. General Tazri gave me Najeela, the Blade-Blossom vibes so I thought it might be a good fit for you!

General Tazri typically utilizes the Food Chain infinite mana combo with Squee, the Immortal as an enabler. I've also added in card:Kinnan, Prodigy Bonder lines with Freed from the Real to allow you to get infinite mana of any colour with any mana dork, or any creature with Cryptolith Rite on the field. You can also use Freed from the Real with Bloom Tender, Faeburrow Elder and Incubation Druid (once adapted) without Kinnan for the same purpose.

Your combo lines are a little bit different from conventional Tazri lists. The cornerstone of our deck is Cloudstone Curio. This lets you bounce and recast your Allies, most of which have ETB effects on them, or effects that trigger when another Ally enters the battlefield. Most notably Hagra Diabolist and Kalastria Healer can be used to ping your opponents dead if you can infinitely bounce Allies with infinite mana or Aluren. You can additionally use Impact Tremors or Purphoros, God of the Forge to deal damage with your bouncing and casting Allies.

If you want to win through combat damage, you can use Hada Freeblade, Kazandu Blademaster, Kazuul Warlord, Tajuru Warcaller, Talus Paladin and Turntimber Ranger with the Curio to gain infinite +1+1 counters (as well as Door of Destinies to gain infinite damage for your Allies). Additionally there is a Soulherder that works with the Food Chain combo to become infinitely large. Lastly, you can funnel your infinite mana into Tazri or Mirror Entity for a monstrous board state.

There is also Halimar Excavator to mill your opponents out with infinite ETBs and an obligatory Thassa's Oracle if you manage to draw through your deck with Beast Whisperer or Vanquisher's Banner and repeated creature casting or card: card:Seagate Loremaster in combination with Intruder Alarm.

Speaking of Intruder Alarm, it's the other big engine in the deck. We have Cryptolith Rite to make your creatures tap for mana, haste enablers in the form of Concordant Crossroads and Chasm Guide to allow you to storm through your deck with Beast Whisper and Vanquisher's Banner. It's also the reason most of our sources of mana ramp are mana dorks.

Arcane Adaptation will allow you to use your dorks and non-Ally creatures as Allies for those ETB synergies.

Amulet of Vigor will help to speed up your mostly tapland manabase.

Panharmonicon, Yarok, the Desecrated, Molten Echoes and Mirror March will give you value off your creature casting when you haven't gone infinite.

Burgeoning can get you a quick land advantage or let you get your lands onto the field after drawing stupid amounts of cards if the game goes long.

Vivien, Champion of the Wilds will let you flash your threats in on other people's turns when you find your Intruder Alarm or Seedborn Muse and have sufficient mana dorks and card draw.

There's a few tutors to help you find your combo pieces and pieces of spot removal/stack interaction, most notably Aura Shards which complements our creature heavy strategy.

That should about cover it! Have fun Freya! 🥳
