The plan is as simple as it is effective; Cast Kozilek to pave your way to card advantage. The deck is generally explosive and difficult to disrupt; it has little issue recovering from boardwipes, ect. Speed plus relentlessness is usually enough to pull a fast victory using our annihilator general.

The biggest advantage of this commander over other colorless commanders is his ability to generate card advantage on cast. This means killing him is a bad option for the opponent, as each time he is cast his pilot is likely to draw into more mana rocks, which allow for him to simply be recast. Being a ramp deck, drawing that many cards is just as dangerous as Kozilek being on the field. The other major upside of Kozilek is his annihilator 4. One swing can cripple an opponent out of the game.
