Oona, Queen of the Fae -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

**Reasoning/playstyle**

---

Tier 1.5 commander ...

A queen that is the best in slot for exiling players decks(not mill), Because she is an Outlet/Dump for "infinite" Mana and not a key combo piece. She is perfect if you want to catch people off guard by Being able to win very early on and protect yourself while doing so with fancy mechanics and plays ^^ and to remain somewhat an underdog at the table if they never saw your commander or deck before... Oona's sole niche right now is one of the most effective infinite mana outlets!!! When played for the first time on your table/tournament/etc people won't expect the power of this commander if they have not researched her properly and might ignore you for a bit... And as soon as they start to understand you have quite a large protection package available to be one step ahead again and even play pieces without them fully understanding you only need a turn to go off, for example, Grim Monolith turn 2 will likely be ignored when other players are slamming down tutors and are still ramping themselves...

I am one of those players that fell in love with "infinite" combos and odd/weird ways to win, also kind of a douchebag counter lover but nonetheless, I hereby present you my take on Oona our beloved queen... Trying to stall/storm/counter/wipe/annoy/ and tutor for your "pieces" is what this deck is mostly about and pulling off the combo... (Inspired on my Exodia Yu-gi-Ho deck that beat everyone when I was a kid ^^ ...she is now 3-4 years in the work and hereby I am proud to present you plebs my queen)...

-Pros

• Able to beat any deck, and can Mulligan aggressively for interaction or pieces...

• Can protect itself easily from any interaction and deal with any deck currently out there if patient.

• has a win as early as turn 1, 2, 3, and gets easier the longer the game goes on...

• versatile win condition without the commander.

• UB (can easily be changed to a more storm approach)

-Cons (neglectable if researched properly most of the time)

• You will get the table to 3v1 you when they see you getting ahead because we don't use that many creatures and are mostly open.

• Has a lot of interaction that at crucial times cannot be missed and will lose you the game if not used properly or stacked wrongly.

• Needs to be very cautious against green or red with slamming down pieces of the puzzle and holds back until you get breathing room to go for a win.

• Has a way of draining its own life for recourse and might put you dangerously low...

• Needs very good understanding of Doomsday piles, and any other small interactions like for example with paradox engine and positive rock counting with certain storm features like Hurkyl's Recall. If, for example, you pass a turn after you cast and resolved doomsday you're not allowed to play this deck or doomsday... Then i suggest you play something easier...

• Needs proper understanding of what, when and why you tutor something.

• Has an upgrade if you want to push for a win even faster in thrasios and tymna...

The commander

**The commander**

---

Why Oona, Queen of the Fae as commander;

---

Oona brings to the table the benefit of translating infinite mana into a direct win with no extra steps. There is some value in relieving the combo of intricacies as it provides few outlets for the win to be halted due to some restricting factor on board. Ideally, once you make infinite mana, you can win through draw locks, graveyard hate, and the like. In short, fewer steps means fewer angles of attack by opponents and, therefore, harder to interact with.

It's relatively an underestimated commander that can win very early on... (DO NOTE SHE "EXILES", making tactics like putting something in your deck that will return from the grave utterly useless and making her infinite even more devastating!!!) she shines best in multiplayer because you can mill more opponents at once although you need to keep in mind that you need at least one or for each player. And that there is almost no reason to get her in play if you don't have to (so only when winning ;) ).

of course, we run other win conditions like doomsday which I will explain further on... (PLAN B)

/ flying if unblocked or left alone takes 5 turns to dish out more than enough lethal commander damage which is the hardest way to win with her but possible... yet never happened so far :'( , but I bet at some casual table it might work...

---

Don't forget your Fae tokens...

If you can't finish off the entire table or lack the mana to do so, Try and net 1/1 fairies for defensive reasons, mostly this can finish off people with like 30 to 40 Faeries on the next turn if they try to take out parts of it... (Especially versus mono-colored commandos XP) if only Painter's Servant wasn't banned ^^ bg rng.

Infinite Combos / Doomsday

---

** Infinite Combos**

---

Enter the douchebag Show

Key win con Cards ; Basalt Monolith + Power Artifact + Grim Monolith + Rings of Brighthearth + Pili-Pala + Grand Architect + Dramatic Reversal + Isochron Scepter + Doomsday

The combos so far ;

---

Basalt Monolith + Power Artifact = "Infinite" colorless Mana

---

Grim Monolith + Power Artifact = "Infinite" colorless Mana

---

Rings of Brighthearth + Basalt Monolith + 2mana to start it = "Infinite" colorless Mana

---

Rings of Brighthearth + Grim Monolith = does not work because you can't net mana

---

used for (milling/gaining life/etc); Blue Sun's Zenith , Stroke of Genius , Mind Grind , Psychic Drain , Everflowing Chalice , Staff of Domination , Oona, Queen of the Fae

(The reason for the other cards that mill is because oona can be countered or prevented from coming in to play therefor one could add a backup if you prefer that playstyle...)

---

Rings Ruling ;

1. Add 3 mana with Basalt Monolith (3 mana available)

2. Pay 3 mana to untap Basalt Monolith (0 mana available)

3. Pay 2 mana to copy the untap ability (-2 mana available; need other mana sources)

4. After the copied ability resolves, add 3 mana (3 mana available, monolith tapped, untap ability on the stack)

5. Original untap ability resolves, add 3 mana (6 mana available). Go to step 2.

The Monolith lets you net colorless mana because of the untap copy which you can loop "infinitely" after you find an extra 2 mana to start it.

---

(NO LONGER IN THE DECK)

-Too slow- requires a turn because of summoning sickness...

Pili-Pala + Grand Architect = "infinite" colored mana

Step 1 : Make Pili-Pala blue.

step 2 : tap Pili-Pala for 2 mana

step 3 : Untap Pili-Pala with that 2 mana for one extra mana

rinse and repeat and net one mana of any color every time you do so

---

Dramatic Reversal + Isochron Scepter + any mana rock that taps for 3 to go infinite colored or colorless (depending on the rock) because it untaps itself. adding a rock that taps for color and the party ends early for everyone...

---

Rings of Brighthearth + Basalt Monolith + Sensei's Divining Top

1. Have Rings, Monolith, and Top in play.
2. Tap Monolith for 3 mana, then use that 3 mana to untap itself, paying 2 additional mana to copy the untap ability (It is a separate ability, not a mana ability).
3. Untap the Monolith twice, tapping it both times for a total of 6 mana.
4. Keep untapping the Monolith twice for 5 mana (3 + 2 to copy with the Rings) and then tapping it twice for 6, netting you 1 mana each time, generating infinite mana.
5. Tap the top to draw a card, using 2 of your infinite mana to copy the ability using the Rings.
6. Draw a card, then put the Top on top of your deck, then redraw the Top from the second iteration of the ability resolving.
7. Replay the Top using your infinite mana and repeat steps 5 and 6 to draw as many cards as you want.

**Infamous Doomsday piles**

Mana Efficient Pile for example (needs one draw of the dozen draw effects we have to go of...)

Predict

Laboratory Maniac

Gitaxian Probe

Lion's Eye Diamond

Yawgmoth's Will

The cost: , 4 life

This pile is the cheapest pile you can make, assuming you don’t have anything in your hand. This should be considered a go-to pile if you run Lion’s Eye Diamond and a freebie for any storm deck.

Altough if you wanted to be mana efficient one could use gush

But more can be found here and is a must to learn and read trough if you want to play with doomsday:
