Deck 5 | Update 2023-06-05 | Status: ACTIVE

THEME: pseudo-Voltron (non-equipment)

SUB-THEME: +1/+1 Counters

When I was building Deck 4, it was going to be a fantasy knight deck and I found Marath, but then pulled a Kenrith from a pack and it took a wild turn.

So I had a partial Naya deck with some fun fantasy elements. I really like Marath as a commander and I want to see what we could do together. This deck needs a lot of ramp because, it turns out, both recasting Marath and activating Marath's ability can cost a lot.

This deck plays like a pseudo-voltron deck, where the goal is to cast your commander as many times as possible. I've gotten up to 11 times in a single three-player game. The early game consists of blowing up Marath to create 1/1 tokens (don't get greedy and make beefy tokens), which can be made into mana dorks or sacrifice fodder. Mid-game, use Marath's damage ability to deal with problematic creatures your opponents control or dish out direct damage to a player. Late game, Marath should be huge, so anything goes.

Perhaps Marath has what it takes to overcome the downside of Voltron. Let me know your thoughts.
