Kinnan, Bonder Prodigy and why he's OP.

He creates 1 additional mana to nonland permanents. This alone is over powered. He's 2 mana, {U}{G} which makes him extremely easy to cast. And he has an outlet to where you can put infinite mana. (colored inf mana)and Win the game. This deck is about the same level as some of the consultation and doomsday decks running around right now in terms of power level and if not, then only slightly weaker.

This deck isn’t very distruptive, we run a little removal and a few counters. But it is fast; look to win as early as turns 2 through 5 if left unchecked.

I believe this commander has a lot of potential, and I hope my deck list best represents that however there are others, but this one totally has the best description.

Pregame + Mulligans

When choosing the first set of 7, generally I’ll go with any hand with 2 lands, some acceleration such as Sol Ring or a dork like Birds of Paradise and ideally one combo piece, and one removal or counter spell.

If I have a 1 land hand, I generally wouldn’t accept it unless accompanied by a lot of acceleration; such as 1 land + Sol Ring

Midgame

Generally by this point we’re finding our win conditions; generally we’re searching for either Basalt Monolith, or Freed from the Real and we’ll hopefully have a dork on the field that produces a blue + kinnan which will enable the combo. Ideally Bloom Tender/Birds of Paradise/Maraleaf Pixie/Sylvan Caryatid

Endgame + Win Conditions

Win Conditions include Bloom Tender/Incubation Druid + Freed from the Real = Infinite mana of any color, sinking into our Kinnan, Bonder Prodigy in order to play all the creatures in our deck. or use Thrasios, Triton Hero and draw our whole deck, and when we grab every creature from our library that includes Craterhoof Behemoth to wreck our opponents face.

Kinnan, Bonder Prodigy+Basalt Monolith = infinite colorless mana.

Kinnan, Bonder Prodigy + Freed from the Real + Any mana dork that can create a blue = Infinite mana of whatever color that creature makes besides blue. (For example, Gyre Engineer, Incubation Druid ,Bloom Tender, or Maraleaf Pixie, Birds of Paradise

Back-up combos for infinite mana:

Isochron Scepter + Dramatic Reversal = Infinite colored mana depending on permanents. And only active with at least {3} mana in nonland permanents.
